” The Boys Are Back, The Boys Are Back, and they´re looking for trouble”
Dropkick Murphys er atter engang klar til at indtage Danmark, og holde et brag af en fest. Bostondrengene med de irske rødder spiller i Valby Hallen fredag 9. februar. Sidst de gæstede Danmark var på COPENHELL i 2016, og her var der gang i de keltiske rocktoner på klassikere som ”The Boys Are Back” og ”Shipping Up To Boston”. Dropkick Murphys har mere end 20 år på bagen, men mantraet har alle dage været; ”Hold your head high, and crank it up”.
Efter sidste i Danmarksbesøg har de været hjemme i Boston og skrive på nyt materiale. Det er blevet til albummet ”11 Short Stories Of Pain And Glory”. Albummet er det første de har indspillet udenfor Boston, nemlig i et studie i Texas:
“To me, the whole journey starts with the fact we actually agreed to go – and then went – to Texas. Because we’ve never left home to make a record,” siger bassist Ken Casey. “As everyone’s lives have become crazier and busier with kids and families, it’s gotten harder to buckle down at home. We decided to leave Boston, go down to literally the middle of nowhere and lock ourselves in a room.”
“There was nothing around us for miles,” siger guitarist Tim Brennan. “It was just us and the studio. I think it gave us the ability to work without distractions in a way that we’ve never really been able to before. All we could do was focus on music. It was one hundred percent devotion to the songs. Once we started to put everything together in El Paso, the songs took on a whole new life and exceeded our expectations.”

Dropkick Murphys – Live 2017 FULL SHOW
Nu har vi jo snart oplevet dette 7 mand store band flere gange, og hver gang er der fuld fart på.
Lyden var ikke god sidste gang på Copenhell, så jeg håber, at det lyder bedre i Valbyhallen.
Ser også frem til et genhør med Flogging Molly, der varmer op.
