Last night was Flogging Molly at the Tabernacle and they absolutely rocked.... One of the best shows, of theirs, I have seen in a long time. We had a blast.
Interesting point of the evening was the opener for the opener.
The Dub Trio was the first band and they rocked the fucking house with their Rock n Roll New Age Jazz musicianship. NO VOCALS at all... No, thank you, No, this is jimbob on bass, nothing. These guys were as tight and all over the place a band as you will ever see - who knows how many rehearsal hours they put in to get this tight. Very SpazzJazz Metal RnRoll. They are almost indescrbable. I would never buy one of their albums because I would go insane in my car and either drive on the sidewalk or just stop in the middle of I-75 and run around the interstate. BUT, these guys kicked ass... You could tell that these guys were classically trained and tought it would be coold to be an ArtFartEclecticJazzMetal Band - that had no lyrics... Mom, Dad I want to be in a band that doesn't play songs.... is the impression I got...
The Aggro-Lites are a pussy Bosstoneesque reggae wannabe band that got on tour by being good drinking partners with the Molly. Hey, whatever works. They were just - eh! Nothing special. Reggae without a hook or killer chorus negates your importance. Thank God they played some covers.
Wish I could make another Molly date on this tour.

We have friends that named their daughter Molly. I wish I could find a t-shirt that says "They Flog Me" and send it to the band...
