DROPKICK MURPHYS ANNOUNCE OPENING ACTS FOR BOSTON- St. PATRICK’S SHOWS

Press Release:

Dropkick Murphys have announced opening acts for their run of seven shows in six days at Boston’s House of Blues the week of St. Patrick’s Day (March 12-17). Among the openers are NYC hardcore legends Sick Of It All, Bay Area punks Swingin’ Utters and their folk/punk alter-ego Filthy Thieving Bastards (featuring three of the five Utters), and current DKM tourmates Larry And His Flask.

Sick Of It All (3/16-17), Swingin’ Utters (3/14-15) and Larry And His Flask (3/12 & 3/17) all perform double-duty, as does Toronto psychobilly quartet The Creepshow (3/12 & 3/13 matinee show).  Filthy Thieving Bastards play the late show on March 13 along with Boston-based Celtic traditionalists The Old Brigade. Other openers from the local scene include The Have Nots (3/13 matinee show), Rhode Islanders Sharks Come Cruisin (3/14), Cocked N’ Loaded (3/15), and Bryan McPherson (3/16).

Last year’s St. Patrick’s Day shows are captured on the live CD/DVD “Live On Lansdowne Road, Boston, MA” due March 16 (you can read our review here)

As previously announced, Dropkick Murphys head to the U.K. and Europe for ten dates with Face To Face in April.
