by Matthias Mader (null) It's still a mystery to me why it took so long until in Boston (after New York the biggest immigration metropole at the east coast) a band like the Dropkick Murphys could be formed in the 90s. After Dublin, this city has the highest number of Irish Pubs, consequently it was only a question of time when the Celtic roots would reflect in the music scene, too. With their fusion of U.S. Punk and Celtic folk (inclusive pipes and flutes), the Murphys have become one of the city's most important export items - even before the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Proof of this development is this collection of 26 (!) songs on "Live on St. Patrick's Day", an album that has everything that is requested of a good live album: an enthusiastic audience, furious versions of the favourite tracks (from "Rocky road to Dublin" to "Wild rover"), and an honest and very powerful sound.
