Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band is a band I like listening to when I put on their CDs, but they aren’t something I normally listen to. The last release & debut on Side One Dummy was very good! Their newest Side One Dummy release comes out May 25th 2010 and I’m sure they will get even more fans from this release. It also helps that they are playing the entire Warped Tour this summer as well.

Flogging Molly played in New York City last night on their annual Green 17 tour. This time, the tour featured opening acts The Architects and an artist that’s quickly becoming one of my favorite musicians, Frank Turner. While the bands performed excellently, the concert experience at Hammerstein Ballroom left a lot to be desired.

There aren’t a lot of Warped Tour vets who can claim proficiency in the use of washboards, bottleneck slides and five-gallon buckets. Most didn’t spend their teens playing along to Charlie Patton and Bukka White albums. And just about none are fronted by a commissioned member of the Honorary Order of Kentucky Colonels.

What better way to celebrate St Patrick’s Day with a new Flogging Molly CD and DVD! Flogging Molly have released live music before but not a full-length concert. The same goes with a full-length concert DVD. Their documentary DVD Whiskey on a Sunday was fantastic and this concert is another example of the band’s excellence. Fans will be treated with a double CD and a full bonus DVD of the same concert. This concert was filmed at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on September 12, 2009. All of their albums are represented here including most of their newest album “Float.”

“Now this punch drunk grinning soul, in its corner begs no more.” Lyrics made more haunting by Flogging Molly’s new music video for their single, “Punch Drunk Grinning Soul.” Originally penned as an allegorical biography about a young man who unexpectedly committed suicide, the video takes the theme one step further and applies it to a malady faced by millions of people the world over post traumatic stress disorder or PTSD.

Gogol Bordello have a new album coming out in the spring called “Transcontinental Hustle” and have also announced initial tour dates in the USA as well as Europe. What’s even cooler is DeVotchKa is playing with them on the US dates! I’m not sure if DeVotchKa is playing with them on their US Tibet Benefit Show at Carnegie Hall on February 26th, or any NYC dates but they are for other US dates. I might have to attend one of those shows! Can’t wait to hear the new album as well. Tickets go on sale Friday and Saturday but a pre-sale is happening right now if you sign up for the band’s website. Read on for more info from Eugene Hutz and the band:
