They’re Back…. That’s right the band that famously had octogenarians demanding their money back at the first Irish Fest in Brookside is back! Not for the faint of heart of course, Flogging Molly is a loud and raucous mix of traditional Celtic music and well… punk rock. Catch them March 14th at the Uptown Theater
“We’re not a traditional band,” explains Dublin born singer/songwriter, Dave King. “We are influenced by traditional music and inspired by it, and we put our own little twist on it.”
Founded in Los Angeles in 1997 by the expatriate King, Flogging Molly got its start and its name from a local bar called Molly Malone’s where the band played and grew and laid down the blueprint for its eventual success. As every member of Flogging Molly will emphatically explain, there were no predetermined expectations for the band’s sound. From night to night playing to a packed house at Molly Malone’s, the sound evolved organically. Traditional Celtic instruments like violin, mandolin and accordion blended seamlessly with grinding guitars and pounding drums. Without consciously attempting it, Flogging Molly merged the music of King’s childhood in Dublin with the music of his adulthood in L.A.
Playing at the Uptwon Theater. The show is all ages and also features outstanding Kansas City Rock N’ Roll band The Architects.
