Floggin Mollyesque.

Recommended Posts

A lot of the Flogging Molly sounds remind me forcibly of the Pogues, and if you like FM then I heartily recommend trying out the Oyster Band, Four Men and a Dog, and if you can find any then a band called Tricks Upon Travellers.

Happy hunting.

"Rathkeltair" an excellent celtic rock band. Makes FM (a real favorite o' mine) sound like lambs.

(Though I be loyal t' FM in any case....)

But, who can REALLY say they be not secretly likin'

"CAPTAIN BOGG & SALTY" more'n anyone across these here Seven Seas? They be me little guilty pleasure.... B)

Ye can check 'em out at eatalime.com

I knew I'd found gold when I stumbled upon 'em.....

Fair Winds an' hearty listenin'to ye....

pssst, Pirate Jenny matey. Or you could try FM's newest one, Seven Deadly Sins (the name of the album is Within A Mile of Home)

THIS CABIN-LAD'S GROWN HAGGARD, SO IN THE POT HE GOES AND FROM HIS SKIN WE'LL MAKE A LITTLE DRUM TO BEAT AS WE FIRE HUMAN HEADS FROM CANNONS AT OUR FOES. AND SET THE SEAS ABLAZE WITH BURNING RUM.

I saw the opening night of THE POGUES in DC last night.

For those unfamiliar with THE POGUES, read

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pogues

Why is this Irish Bar Band pirate-y? Well, check out the lyrics to

Turkish Song of the Damned

I come old friend from Hell tonight

Across the rotting sea

Nor the nails of the cross

Nor the blood of Christ

Can bring you help this eve

The dead have come to claim a debt from thee

They stand outside your door

Four score and three

Did you keep a watch for the dead man's wind

Did you see the woman with the comb in her hand

Wailing away on the wall on the strand

As you danced to the Turkish song of the damned

You remember when the ship went down

You left me on the deck

The captain's corpse jumped up

And threw his arms around my neck

For all these years I've had him on my back

This debt cannot be paid with all your jack

And as I sit and talk to you I see your face go white

This shadow hanging over me

Is no trick of the light

The spectre on my back will soon be free

The dead have come to claim a debt from thee

Dances for nickels.

Aye, me thinks the Floggin Mollys are pretty good. If'n ye be lookin fer some good sea shanties, I'd be givin' the Bilge Pumps a try. They be pretty good. Got their own website (look for The Bilge Pumps), and have several CDs. They're out of Texas, and do a lot o' ren faires in the Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Louisiana, etc areas. They've even been known to head out Florida way. Believe they went to the west coast once as well. Great music.
