Flogging Molly- The Hi-Fi Bar & Ballroom, Melbourne- 10/4/07

[Outlaw Love Song]

OK, so besides me and Toni who's coming?

I dare you to come along and not feel like dancing like a mad thing!

[Outlaw Love Song]

I think this has been cancelled as the dates are down off the FM website... I have emailed management for confirmation...... hope I'm not just being paranoid!

[Outlaw Love Song]

False alarm. Got an email from one of the reps at FM's management. The tour is still on.

[Outlaw Love Song]

In related news, Flogging Molly are rumoured to be back in the studio working on a new album this month!

New material ahoy! Problem is I won't know the words to new stuff and I wanna make sure I have no voice by the end of the night! WOOO!

[Erik]

i'm pretty sure i'll be flogging my molly there. I plan to lose my voice at DKMs too

[Outlaw Love Song]

Your gonna come Erik? woo hoo!

Think Toni was saying Kim and Hugo might be coming as well!

Villam Artists Management (FMs management) said that the tour was still on but they had to take the dates down for some reason and that they'll be up again in about a week (they told me a week ago or thereabouts). Hopefully the show will be announced in Beat and Inpress this week and tickets will go on sales.

I will of course keep my eyes peeled and ears open and as soon as tix are available I will be the first to let everyone know (unless Toni or someone else beats me to the punch).

[Outlaw Love Song]

Gogol Bordello are the support band! Fuck yeah!

[Brady]

shiiit another one I'd love to go to, but I don't like my chances. If I DO end up making it to DKM there's no way in hell I'll be able to afford to go to Brisbane again to see Flogging Molly :( Bah!

[Outlaw Love Song]

Pass up The Dropkick Murphys and just go to Floggin Molly mate. Flogging Molly are musically superior and a much better show than what DKM have to offer. It's a big call on my behalf cos I love em both bt it's the fuckin' truth.....think it over!

[Outlaw Love Song]

Just got an email from the FM mailing list. In addition to Gogol Bordello the supports for this tour will be The Sounds from Sweden...

It's gonna make for a very interesting night of music! Irish folk rock, gypsy/Eastern European folk rock and now a Swedish new wave band!

[Outlaw Love Song]

Okay, so theres a bunch of revised dates up on the official FM site. The Melbourne show has now been changed to the Metro (much to my dismay!) on Thursday April 5th which is the day before Good Friday so no work makes me a very happy pappy!

[Outlaw Love Song]

Well, now they have their shit together re: dates and venues I reckon they'll go on sale this week. Might ring the Metro myself but theres nothing up on their website yet.....

[Madtwins]

Hi Luke!!! We really glad for you! It's super!

[Outlaw Love Song]

Thanks twins! It'll be even more super when I get my tickets which go on sale next Thursday which happens to fall on my pay day! :D

[Aaron]

Hmm, I still can't find any info about this tour besides what's on the band website, and in this thread. Any idea how much for tickets, and where to buy them when they go on sale?

[Outlaw Love Song]

They go on sale through ticketek next thursday march 1st. not sure about the outlets for sale in sydney and brisbane.

[Erik]

Got my tickets today! Now i play the waiting game! :D

[Kev]

Has the Melbourne gig sold out yet?

Cause I just picked up Whiskey On A Sunday (without hearing any of their music) and liked what I heard. LIKED IT ALOT

and wouldn't mind checking them out live.

[Kev]

Damn it. I was hoping to go to this gig, but it turns out its on the Thursday before Good Friday. Therefor the Thursday before Easter is one of our biggest nights, So I can't take it off.


Damn it.

[Outlaw Love Song]

Just ask Kev! You might get lucky!

How good is Whiskey On A Sunday!? I've had it since July.....quite possibly the most in depth doco I'm likely to see on a band....

And Bridgette is always smiling in it.... funny cos I never see her smile on stage.

*blushes*

[Kev]

even though it was released last year, and I bought it this year, without hearing anything from them, or knowing about them, I've really liked what I've heard on this album.

[Outlaw Love Song]

reason enuff for ya to come see em! :D

[Outlaw Love Song]

5 more sleeps!

Kev, you comin' or what?

[Outlaw Love Song]

4 more sleeps! :D

[Outlaw Love Song]

3 more sleeps!

[Outlaw Love Song]

2 sleeps! :D

[RollOn]

haha way to spam you're own thread Luke! :p

[Kev]

Gogol Bordello is no longer the support for this or any of Flogging Molly's shows.

They cancelled all appearances in Australia due to unforseen circumstances.



And Luke, I couldn't get the time off.. Which sucks, but I tried my hardest. Plus I really need the money at the moment. Its sucks big time. :(

[Outlaw Love Song]

Damn!

I guess the one good thing that can come out of that is that Flogging molly will get more stage time!

[Kev]

For those who are interested, www.chuggentertainment.com.au was the source for Gogol's announcement.

[Outlaw Love Song]

One more sleep!

Garrrrgh! It's killing me!

[Aaron]

Hey Luke, how was the show?

I can't wait for tonight... even though Gogol Bordello won't be there, and my gigging parter cancelled on me. On that note, if anyone hasn't yet bought a ticket to the Sydney show and wants one I have a spare. PM me.

[Outlaw Love Song]

Mate, they were phenomenal...much better than last time and they played for 90 minutes. Dave came out and did a solo acoustic version of "Black Friday Rule" for an encore.

[Aaron]

Just got back!

What a show! So much energy... I found someone to go with at the last minute, so that was cool. The first support (The Core) were mediocre, but the second (Sydney City Trash) were brilliant. I bought their EP after their set. They were a terrific warm-up for Flogging Molly.

Since you're the only other one in this thread there's no need to say how good Flogging Molly were... preaching to the converted! I was very impressed by the proportion of the crowd that was dancing about, too :)
