Dropkick Murphys featured on Current TV

Contributed by petehustles. Posted by ben on Monday, February 4, 2008 at 5:00 PM (EST)

Al Gore chaired peer-to-peer news and information network Current TV recently shot a documentary on the Dropkick Murphys. The short-film takes a "day in the life" approach with the Boston band and incorporates the band's members discussing their individual histories as well as that of the band. To view the video head to the website.

The Dropkick Murphys released The Meanest of Times on their own Born and Bred imprint late last year.

I imagine detailed instructions on how to park the car in Harvard Yard.

Also, how to pretend you are from "Southie."

How's it pretending when the only guy who says he's from there, did grow up there?

that is completely unfair for dudes who are goin bald like me.

GlassPipeMurder (February 4, 2008)

word. kenny chesney's bald and chicks still go apeshit for him. so maybe we'll be ok as long as we become douchey country singers.

branden (February 4, 2008)

haha yeah dude. i actually kind of enjoy going bald though. it gives you a forreal manly character and for me it kind of cements the fact that ill never have a truly shitty hairdo.

Cos (February 4, 2008)

Wow. I can't think of a band that would have a more boring "day in the life".

Maybe Fugazi?

No way! That would rule, if they would have done it 3 months ago they would have featured me letting Ian into traffic with what I call 'the wave'. I know it touched my life, I'm sure it touched his.

Current is very 50/50 for me. For every cool, well done and enlightening "pod" (their slang for video segment) there's one that's super shallow, very very poorly made, and about some stupid topic. Plus their on air hosts are pretty douchey.

Bryne (February 4, 2008)

The only host that really irks me is Brian McFayden, who somehow got convinced that he's way funnier than he actually is.

woodandiron (February 4, 2008)

So a label imprint is basically a vanity label? Like it's a way for a band to feel like they're doing their own thing while still under the umbrella of a bigger company?

Since, when is "Born and Bred" under the umbrella of a major? Its not like fucking Sire records.

GlobalNihilism (February 5, 2008)

It's owned by Warner Brothers.

LookingForCorpses (February 5, 2008)

It's not owned by Warner Bros.

Search www.riaaradar.com for their new album.

woodandiron (February 5, 2008)

Not to mention I only said "bigger company." That could mean Born and Bred is under the auspices of Epitaph.
