A little review of their biography, FLOGGING Molly, a band from Los Angeles, California, USA has been formed since 1997. They bring Punk Rock music genre and very thick with the smell of Irish music flow or so-called Celtic Punk. They also often called "the seven piece Irish-American celtic punk". Yes because they consisted of 7 men and one of its personnel is a woman. Since its establishment in 1997 Flogging Molly has released several singles, albums and their live performance on DVD, under the umbrella label SideOneDummy. Flogging Molly's music from terinfluence by some of the more popular bands like The Pogues, The Dubliners, Horslips, Johnny Cash and The Clash. One of his album titled "Within a Mile of Home" is dedicated to one of the pioneer American musician Joe Strummer and Johnny Cash.
Their lyrics often talks about the state of Ireland and its history, politics, romantic love, death and also about some of the references of the Roman Catholic Church. Many awards have been achieved by this band, one album, "Float" is capable of landing on the charts # 4 on the Billboard Top 200. This album also marks the highest chart position for SideOneDummy and the Celtic Punk genre in general.
On March 2, 2010 Flogging Molly released a live show DVD / CD entitled "Live At The Greek Theater." Wow it's cool man! The album contains three discs (DVD + CD Double full-length) were taken and recorded from their live performances in Greece in September 2009 Greek past. Dozens of songs they bring me with neat and energetic. Sound is also very solid, but unfortunately ... the crowd is less brutal (perhaps due to an inadequate set of place or is made like that). In the DVD / CD have bonuses like exclusive backstage interviews and bonus video clips.
Do not take for granted the band on this one. They are also one of the Punk Rock band that describes the culture of a country and lifted the genre of Celtic Punk. Two Tumbs Up!
