Tours: Street Dogs added as opening act for Flogging Molly‘s ’Green 17'

Contributed by dropkickmurphy01. Posted by Justin on Sunday, December 24, 2006 at 2:00 PM (EST)

Boston's Street Dogs have been added as openers to 2007's edition of the Green 17 tour with Flogging Molly. The irish-influenced punks announced the dates earlier this month.

However, this does mean that the 'Dogs will be canceling their West Coast mini-tour in January and they will be postponing their European Vacation (Big Ben!) to coincide with their inclusion in the Grozerock festival.

The band has been touring relentlessly in support of Fading American Dream, their third album.

These shows will definitely be good. Both of these bands put on solid live shows and I hope I can catch one of the shows.

I-type-poorly (December 24, 2006)

shows!

baseball (December 24, 2006)

excellent pairing for a show

both these bands are great live

SloaneDaley (December 24, 2006)

yay!

Someone (December 24, 2006)

Floggin Molly > Street Dogs

Someone (December 24, 2006)

i think that is obvious

rkl (December 24, 2006)

i think thats bullshit.

Someone (December 24, 2006)

There aren't many bands that are even in the same league as Flogging Molly. But these two will compliment each other nicely.

Someone (December 24, 2006)

Yawn! I've seen this touring line up way too many times......Both of these bands are becoming old news. There is only so much of this Irish Celtic crap that people can take.

Someone (December 24, 2006)

You have a point, but there's still only a handful of Irish punk out there...it's not like the airwaves are overflowing with it or anything. I give kudos to flogging molly for sticking to their sound and just having fun playing it.

Someone (December 24, 2006)

NO there is inly a handful that you know about. There is actually a shitload of Irish punk out there and most of them do it better then The Mollys. Go check out The Levellers, The Pogues, The Undertones, Thin Lizzy, etc... How many more years of Flogging Molly putting out the same record year after year can you really take?

Someone (December 28, 2006)

Several, now shut the fuck up.

Why do the Street Dogs insist on not going to Chicago? I already made the trek down to St. Louis to see them at the Gargoyle (and Wash U just isn't the place to see a punk show). I mean, the Bouncing Souls made the trip worth it, I'm not sure Flogging Molly would.

Someone (December 24, 2006)

Wow, this was announced a week ago. Good job fellas!

sXenester (December 24, 2006)

You're getting a dick in a box for christmas.

Someone (December 24, 2006)

Thanks for sending it in!

dolorBrigand (December 24, 2006)

looks like im heading up to Boulder after all. Street Dogs were so fucking good when they opened for Bouncing Souls, their "cover" of Get Up was a fucking blast.

kingofsuck (December 24, 2006)

One of the consistantly great live bands out there right now. My favorite DKM stuff was with Mike McColgan anyway, so it made perfect sense that the Street Dogs would be just as good, if not better and to me, I'm right. I see them whenever I can, can't wait for the new album!

Someone (December 24, 2006)

Their new record just came out.

RightCliqificus (December 24, 2006)

a few months ago. its okay. back to the world is better.

rkl (December 24, 2006)

of course, this tour isnt coming anywhere near me.

Someone (December 24, 2006)

move out of the sticks

Someone (December 25, 2006)

i'm tired of everybody kissing the streetdogs ass i'm sick of seeing them they open up for everyone.

Someone (December 26, 2006)

Get used to it because they are incredible live and live up to the hype.

Someone (December 25, 2006)

If Irish influenced punk is your thing this show will be well worth it....It just so happens that I love both these bands, especiall live...

if anyone on here is going to the NC show let me know

I gotta say it but if you're gonna make a European Vacation joke you gotta get it right. It's "Look kids! Big Ben! Parliament!!!"

Someone (December 25, 2006)

yay, groezrock

Someone (December 26, 2006)

The Street dogs suck I saw em back in may

Fuck all that irish punk crap. I hate ireland, do i look like I wanna do a jig and then eat a bunch of potatoes? fuck that shit

Someone (December 26, 2006)

Street Dogs are a pile of heaping shit. The only reason this band is around is to "make it big." I hope they end up homeless.

Someone (December 26, 2006)

Don't think they will end up homeless with you and your mother on skidrow,you computer asasssin.Grow up hater!

Dangerous

Someone (December 26, 2006)

No they do not suck and fuck you and your backstabbing ethos,you useless piece of excrement.

Dangerous

Someone (December 26, 2006)

Wrong...go back to your basement or garage and stay useless with your instrument of choice.

Eat shit and die

Someone (December 27, 2006)

Matt Hensley has apparently left Flogging Molly due to family problems. It's all over the Yahoo boards.
