A few weeks ago my friend Jason and I went to see Flogging Molly at the Commodore Ballroom. I first heard about Flogging Molly at the beginning of the summer and really got listening to them a lot. When I heard they were coming to Vancouver, I knew I had to go.

Before the show Jason and I went to an Irish pub for a dinner we both quite enjoye, although it was quite a lot of food. I think the waitress thought I was an idiot for wondering what the countdown clock was for–St Patrick’s Day, duh!

At the show we sat through 2 opening acts, The Girls and Beat Union. I can’t remember much about The Girls, except they were guys and Beat Union, sounded like what you’d expect to hear from Brit-Punk.

When Flogging Molly came on the crowd was ready to have a good time with a mosh pit and all. We were right at the front with one person in front of us. It was a great spot to see the show and we mostly avoided the mosh pit beside us, I am 36 after all! The sound was quite loud I thought and I like it loud! At the front it seemed like the sound wasn’t quite balanced as I couldn’t hear the singing very well. After I while I went back a bit in the crowd to get a bit better balance of the sound.

As for the show it was a lot of fun, I knew most of the songs and was signing along when I could. I even went in the mosh pit for Rebels of the Sacred Heart. I almost lost my glasses in the process, but it was fun. At the end of the night I could barely talk and my ears were ringing.

If they come to your neck of the woods I’d definitely recommend you check them out.

Here are a few pics from my point and shoot from the night
