Have seen them a few times. They're generally good. But havn't seen them in a year or two now cause I've gotten a bit bored of them. Going to this gig though as Face To Face are supporting.

Great band, Irish connection there obviously, and always play a good show in Dublin as a result...they pull out the stops because of the connection with Ireland and their heritage, Warrior's Code would be my favourite album of recent times....I recommend checking that out

busttropical · 21-03-2010 9:13pm

they just released a new live album so i guess that might get you an idea of the set! long as they play citizen cia in cork ill be satisfied!

Stretchryan · 23-03-2010 4:10pm

Seen them about 20 times the last few years in Europe and on their Annual Boston gigs and have never been to a bad gig.

On their last european tour Jan/feb seen them in Barcelona/Antwerp & Berlin and they have really started playing bigger Veunes 5-7k venues.

Most were sold out too, will be coming back to dublin for the gig in April.

It been the end of their tour will only add to the night.

Top quality guys too.

I got my tickets a few months back... can't wait for it!

calex71 · 27-03-2010 2:12pm

Saw them in tripod a few years ago, place was stuffed and great atmosphere. Didn't know there was a gig in the olympia

Linus67 · 29-03-2010 8:55pm

The Dropkicks are great live!

endasmail · 31-03-2010 12:55am

will have to get going to that
have their live albums and they are great

melekalikimaka · 06-04-2010 3:14am

awesome seen many times, never dull... wanna be irish...but very well done

LeBash · 06-04-2010 3:20am

Just listen to the live album and you'll know what to expect.

The set list has the potential to be great though cause they have 3-4 great songs on every album.

seanybiker · 06-04-2010 3:22am

Never seen em live, used to like them but dont bother listening to them anymore. What is the irish connection anyways apart from having murphy in their name?

LeBash · 06-04-2010 3:32am

from Bostan and knew an Irish guy once.

One of them is a registered Reverand as well, how stereotypical can you get.

Ahh, I like em, prefare Blood Or Whiskey though.

Yeah, they would be like an actual Irish version, and around alot longer as well.

They have a new EP out called Live and Learn and the Cashed out on Culture album is good, the earlier albums are a bit more folky, but i like em as well.

seanybiker · 06-04-2010 3:39am

have 4 on the way. Blood and whiskey debut version then blood and whiskey and 2 other ones. Cheers for the tip

Just make sure your not downloading songs called Blood Or Whiskey, cause theres a few of them around.

Check out thier MySpace or Youtube, they have loads of stuff kicking around.

no this them alright. Celtic punk/folk. only 1 seed though grr

dregin · 06-04-2010 7:59am

I spent a long time whinging about the murphys as "whanna be Irish", but they really aren't at all. They're from Boston with very strong Irish connections. That's just the way it is.

Their music is also significantly better than Blood or Whiskey's in my opinion.

How?!? what program like?

And hey now.. Half of Boston is Irish!! And proud of it. And also prefer murphys to blood or whiskey...

Skinfull · 19-04-2010 9:21am

2smiggy · 22-04-2010 5:38pm

Totally disagree, thought the gig was great. Then again I dislike the whole "lets pretend to go off stage but everyone knows we will be back" gimmick. Played for a solid hour and a half and almost every song was a crowd pleaser and finishing off with everyone on stage singing skinhead/ boys on the docks was a great moment I thought.

Class gig.

MightyMighty737 · 22-04-2010 11:59pm

Thought it was a good one too meself, better than their last show in Tripod. F2F were very good.

Anyone grab a setlist? They pulled out some good oldies. I nearly lost the head during the intro to Vengeance. Was surprised they played Spicey as well!

Got a Ken Casey pleck after

Was gonna hit the Cork gig if Runnin' Riot were supporting, but alas they aren't

They were there tonight, didn't play though!

+1, people who were there for them actually seemed to be into them too. Did enough to get me to check them out anyway.

Didn't get a set list and was also surprised to hear some old stuff, although there did seem to be some people just waiting for one particular song. :rolleyes:

Wonder what Song that could have been.....Still think the guy wiping the water up that fell was probably the funniest thing

Inkivaari · 23-04-2010 5:02pm

Ahh I thought that the gig was great, first time seeing them, got up onstage for Kiss Me I'm ****faced, and got a towel off the singer, and a picture with him too!! Fxckin epic night, ears only just stopped ringing a while ago, throat is still fxcked! Will definitely be seeing them next time they're in Dublin!! Face To Face were surprisingly good, I'm converted!!

EyesClosed · 23-04-2010 6:21pm

Shipping DEFINATELY wasn't the last song, the guy who put that setlist up must have left early to get his bus

Why_So_Serious? · 23-04-2010 11:17pm

As I was leaving i seen a guy robbed a set list from the stage while he was on the stage.....you think he'd get on and post the set list :P
