People in the greater Grand Rapids area, you are hereby advised to check out the Hibernian hotness of that great new band, THE MOLLY MAGUIRES, playing this Saturday at Dillenbeck’s Coffee House at 7 pm. (Dillenbeck‘s is located at 1059 W. Fulton, on the west side of town by John Ball Park.) Recently recovered from their St. Paddy’s festivities, the Molly Maguires will rock the house with their own songs, plus (I’m guessing) some Pogues, Black 47, and Dropkick Murphy ditties.
Why am I hotter than an Irish landlord about the Mollies? Because my nephew and godson Brandon is their guitar hero and songwriter. He’s got the chops, and not just the mutton chops.
This will be their first public performance, so get out there and shout your encouragement. You can check out the band’s myspace page here. Slainte, boyos, Slainte!
Thanks for the press! Lord knows its going to be a good show. You should make it out here, I’ve got friends coming in from as far as Up State New York to see us, I am sure you could find a spot on a couch some wheres out here. For the record though, so as to not mis-lead any potential fans, we will be playing all covers. It seems James Finn here got all the shanachie talent in the family. The arrangements of most of the songs are, however, my own (Irish Washerwoman will make you want to slam an Irish Car bomb faster than lynch the landlord, if you got me). The goal is to have standing room only at this place, which would be something. Erinn go Brach!
What, yer not gonna do “Aye Sir”?
we are…..but its a cover ::hangs head:: some things are in the works but not for this show.
I would be there if we were going to be in town. Just the same… keep us updated on future gigs.
