FLOGGING MOLLY IN CONCERT:
For nearly two decades, Flogging Molly has melded punk and Irish musical traditions to achieve a rollicking sound that's the perfect accompaniment to a night on the town. The Los Angeles seven-piece has made a name for themselves as a rip-roaring live act, treating fans to an intoxicating combination of furious fiddling, breakneck drumming, and sing-along choruses. Whether fans are looking to dance a jig, learn a new drinking song, or just mosh their brains out, Flogging Molly always delivers the goods with epic sets of their high-energy tunes on tour.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Flogging Molly formed in Los Angeles in the mid-'90s around frontman Dave King, a veteran punker looking to incorporate Celtic elements into his music. He recruited several players and together they began performing weekly at Molly Malone's Irish pub, where Irish-influenced punk tracks like "Devil's Dance Floor" and "Black Friday Rule" quickly earned them a following. As their popularity grew the band gave themselves a name inspired by the pub, making their debut as Flogging Molly in 1997 with the live album Alive Behind the Green Door. The band's rise continued in 2000 with their official studio debut album Swagger, a critical and commercial success that landed on the Billboard 200 and received a 5-star rating from Punknews.org. Since then the group has become the poster band for Irish punk, releasing four more whiskey-soaked albums --including two that topped the US Indie charts -- and becoming a festival favorite with stints on The Vans Warped Tour and the Rock Against Bush project. Beloved for their powerhouse sound, electric showmanship, and dapper stagewear, Flogging Molly continue to treat lucky ticket buyers to an walloping live experience on their unforgettable tours.
I've been seeing Flogging Molly in concert for seven years and they never let me down. They are by far one of my favorite bands to see live. Have a few drinks, and have a grand old time with friends. They're always energetic and a good old fashioned Irish time. They're a little taste of Ireland.
I spent the whole show right at the front at the fence and it was amazing! So much fun!! And I have to say whatever those security guys get paid at Sound Academy it can't be enough for the crap they put up with!!
This show was amazing. I had so much fun and would do it again in a heart beat Come back to Toronto again soon!
A great show to promote a great new album. Flogging Molly delivers a Powerful and exuberant performance, showcasing a great selection of tracks off the new album (The Speed of Darkness) while also playing quite a few well loved songs. Hearing "Black Friday Rule" live for the first time a while was definitely a highlight of the night! A band I will see upon every chance I'm given!
This is the 2nd time seeing Flogging Molly.Again they blew me away. Just an amazing show from start to finish. I am more into metal bands,But these guys can put on an better show than most of the huge metal shows I go to.
Flogging Molly is great. They constantly were interacting with the crowd the sound was great they came out in halloween costumes due to the show being so close to oct.31. If you like boston punk and irish music you would love these guys. I would go see em again in a second just a fun concert.
Performance was great! Loved the playlist, the energy. Would seriously consider seeing them again.
The show was incredible, 2 hours straight rocking with great crowd interaction. Not a complaint to be made.
Flogging Molly is a band not to be matched. Never before have I experienced an energy level so high that could be maintained though the whole show. It was exciting, the music was unforgettable, the mosh pit was vicious, and everyone had fun. I fully recommend Flogging Molly for everyone to see!
I have been looking forward to this since I was too slow to get tickets for last year. I am so glad I went... Keep on keeping the beats! It was awesome!
Traveled from the Yukon just to see the Concert. Great venue, sound quality was perfect. Thanks to Flogging Molly, am telling as many people as I can about your music. It is one of a kind and I hope the songs keep coming as I love everything that you all have put forward so far. Will definitely see them again, can't wait to here the next album. Please keep it coming as I know I am a fan for life. Congrats to Bridget and Dave.
Flogging Molly alwas puts on a great show, but this time the opening acts where ok at best.
i had an awesome time, i didn't stop moving until the lights came on!
Maybe the fourth time I've seen Flogging Molly and once again I was not dissapointed. The energy was high as it was their last show of the Canadian tour and the last show of the year for them as well. They were were dressed in some hilarious costumes adding to the fun of the evening and then played their hearts out for every song. An outstanding performance and incredible energy from the crowd singing along to their favourties, crowd surfing and dancing. A great time!
The venue holds just shy of a thousand punters but has plenty of room so you don't feel like cattle (like some other venue I've been to), it's also small enough to give a great atmosphere. Dean Lickyer opened up the proceedings in fine style, a great young band who got the crowd warmed up in almost no time. Then came a band that have been crafting their style for the last few years. Inward Eye are getting better all the time and will before long be a headline act in their own right, I'm sure. From the moment Flogging Molly took to the stage they held the crowd spellbound, they performed all the songs any fan would have expected of them and more! For anyone who is unsure whether to go and see Flogging Molly or not, I would say without doubt yes. They are musically tight, funny, thought provoking, powerful and have more personality than most bands you'll find on the scene today. Grab yourself a ticket and get to the party, you're guaranteed a good time.
You can't help but get up and move. Thanks to all 3 bands for a great night. Flogging Molly, you are simply amazing.
We had to wait through 2 other bands first to see the main show which didn't get under way until after 11pm - the impatience in the crowd was almost tangible. Finally they hit the stage and the entire floor was shaking under the dancing feet of the audience as they began their first song. AN absolutely fantastic show; the Commodore (in my opinion) was the perfect venue for FM. There was a pit, crowd surfing, and cups and booze flying in the air above the crowd and onto the stage all night. Pretty epic stuff. I feel bad for everyone who missed it.
Flogging Molly was amazing!! So much energy! Probably one of the best concerts I've ever been to!
flogging molly is the best concert ever. the 45 peoples worth of sweat on me just added to the experience
Amazing show. Opening acts were very good strong performers. Dean Lickyer playing good old classic rock inspired tunes while Inward Eye played some high energy punk. But Flogging Molly had the whole audience involved playing a wide range of their music new to old. The mosh pit was alive and bouncing, but very friendly. The staff at the Commodore were also incredible and seemed to enjoy the show as much as the fans. They are playing again tonight and I would go again if I wasn't working.
