Description:
From the Quincy Barbershop to Fenway Park the year the Red Sox won the World Series to six sold out shows in a club they used to be barred from to a song in an Academy Award winning Martin Scorsese film the goal has always remained the same for the DROPKICK MURPHYS. Says founding member Ken Casey: “We always wanted to be that band that didn’t forget where we came from and we keep it in the forefront of our minds that we’re all in it together, audience and band members, as one. That’s the M.O. of a lot of punk bands, but I think sometimes it gets lost when a band has any kind of success. We never want to let it go to our heads. We know how lucky we are to be doing this. I don’t care if we’re playing to 10 people or 10,000 people, those kids that are up front singing our songs are the reason we’re doing this.”
"Famous for blending East Coast hardcore with whiskey-scorched Celtic folk Beantown’s favorite sons always make sure both are well represented". The Dropkick Murphys' reputation has soared over the years... nothing seems to be broken and this is a band that won't "f**k with a good thing - they still give old-schoolers a reason to risk what’s left of their teeth in the mosh pit" (AP Oct 07)
Joining the Dropkick Murphys are one of the longest standing bands still proudly waving the flag of New York Hardcore, SICK OF IT ALL! This is a band that has made their mark as one of the cornerstones of NYHC, proving that heart, hard work and dedication to hardcore is about more than just the music and an image, it’s a way of life.
This socially driven attitude and message is something that’s always kept the band close with their fanbase from the very beginning. Originally formed by brothers Lou and Pete Koller in the mid-'80s, Sick Of It All set the tone of their music and ideology by offering a no-frills view of the world around them. Often revolving around politics, social injustices and life on streets in New York, the band wore their views on their sleeve and made no apologies, often times attempting to turn the tables to include thread of positivity, a hope for change and improvement. “We're lucky enough to have [a fanbase] that accepts us as we are, and who prefer their music gimmick-free and without all the pop culture bullshit,” SOIA drummer Armand Majidi says. “Our motivation is helped by the fact that in twenty years, we never rested on our laurels because of mainstream success. We're just as hungry as we've ever been and still have a lot to prove.” If catching this double bill isn't already on your top 10 list of things to do it's definitely time to reprioritise!
