Zox was new to me and I really really liked them. The Briggs always put on a good show.

I liked the Briggs so much when I saw them open for FM last year that I went out and bought their album and EP.

Good on ya, Eric. Wished they played more around town here.

Zox was interesting because they had a violin player that rocked out.

All Side One Dummy bands, which continues on Friday with Gogol Bordello!!

And excuse all the heads in the photos there were ACTUALLY people there taller than me! Wish I could've gotten more photos of stage right.

Dropkick Murphys are more energetic by far, but sometimes just a little too hard and loud. Perhaps a little too proud of their Home-Town of Boston too?

Well I have to disagree with the New Yorker on that last point

Any band that can help end an 86 year World Series drought gets my support.

First time I heard DKM was their cover of the BC Fight Song "For Boston".
I think they are pretty good, their Live St. Patrick's Day CD makes it
into heavy rotation on my car CD (esp. "Nutty" before hockey-you
old time 1970's Bruins Fans know what I am talking about!).

They are definitely influenced by the Pogues, but they were also heavily
influenced by the Clash and older Boston bands like Gang Green.

I heard an interview with one of the Real McKenzies in which he says the DKMs came to a few of their shows back in the beginning of their career and liked the bagpipe so much that they adopted it into their music.

Great! Hope I'll be able to see them

Neither FM or Dkm are even close to the Pogues musically or lyrically .
