Stalwart Boston beerpunk crew the Dropkick Murphys return to tour Australia in 2007.
"The Murphys' shoutalongs get heavy play at Boston sporting events; their "Tessie" was the theme song of the Red Sox' winning season or some such. And it's weirdly thrilling to know that a legendary 63-year-old film director (by the name of Martin Scorsese) thought to include a song from these guys on the soundtrack of a movie that so perfectly reflects the corner of the world they represent. The Departed, after all, is a movie about Irish people doing violent shit in Boston, and the Dropkick Murphys are a band that sing about Irish people doing violent shit in Boston; it's a match made in heaven! They've been doing pretty much the exact same thing for ten years and five albums now; they play rowdy singalong street-punk anthems and spike them with bits and pieces of traditional Irish folk music, and that's it." VILLAGE VOICE
Anyone who's been to a St Patty's day show at the Avalon in Boston will know that a night out with the Dropkick Murphys will change your life
