Absolutely, without a doubt one of the best bands around today. These guys, and girl put so much energy into their show it's hard not to dance and sing along with them. Not to mention the fact that their tour is presented by Guinness! I saw them at the Anaheim House of Blues, which was great. A small very intimate venue... not more than maybe 600 people. If you love a good live show, regardless of genre, go see this band. Awsome! Violin and accordion alongside the bass, guitar, drums and vox. Every band should have a hardcore violin solo!

P.S. I posted earlier in the wrong forum... http://www.ridemonkey.com/forums/showthread.php?t=113479 But they were so good I couldn't wait for a Mod to move the thread. I had to post about how great they were.

i remember they were very popular with my emo-dressers, chick-pants, saucony-shoes, 2-size-smaller-t-shirt friends when i was in college...

i actually never could get to like them much, other than that "its been the worst day since yesterday" song..

They're awesome, I have all three of their albums. The funny thing is, they record parts of their albums live and you can't tell...

 

[Evel Monkey]

its official, they are now on my "must see" list.

the two flogging molly shows i've been to, the singer has gone through 2 pint glasses of whiskey in the course of the 3 hour show. oh yeah, their music isn't too bad either.

Yeah Ciarin, thanks for sending me that album! I now have Drunken Lullabies and within a mile of home.

Drunken Lullabies is arguably their best album in my opinion, with Swagger a close second. Within a Mile of Home is good as well, but I don't think it's on par with their first two.

alive behind the green door we have a bar called the blarney stone here that has a green door...
but seriously if you like them, you'll probably like dopkick murhpys, and maybe black 47.

Alexis, typical. Too much noise about too little factual information. Thank you for being predictable.

haha okay i guess you're funny once in a while on purpose

There was so much energy in the show. Violin solos were great. They played at the House Of Blues in Anaheim. I had never been there before and have to say that it really is a nice venue. Very small with good sightlines, and good sound. 5 bucks a Guinness though. I must have spent my whole paycheck on beer! The singer made a good point... "here in America if you have two beers a day your a fookin alcoholic. In Ireland you have 7 and you're just gettin' started!"

If you get a chance, see them. The albums are great but live is better.

they're good live, but i can't listen to an album. too repetitive.
