Performer: Flogging Molly
Distributor: Alternative Dis. Alliance Notes: A companion piece to the 2006 documentary film of the same name, WHISKEY ON A SUNDAY features the Los Angeles-based, Irish-rooted rock ensemble Flogging Molly performing live. Led by singer/guitarist Dave King, the band proves why it is often considered a primary heir to the Pogues legacy with an impressive set of songs, most notably the urgent and emotive "Laura," which mixes punk fury with a wistful Irish folk sensibility.
Flogging Molly provide something of a West Coast answer to Boston's the Dropkick Murphys (minus the street-tough posturing). Since forming in the late 1990s, Flogging Molly have been blending punk tempos and attitude with traditional Celtic instrumentation. With their rousing choruses and bittersweet tales of drunken nights, heartache, and the perseverance of the common man, another group of Emerald Isle revelers the Mollys readily evoke is the grandaddies of Celtic punk themselves, the Pogues.
