Dropkick Murphys come out swinging with their 6th studio album "The Meanest
Of Times" a collection of tales about family, loyalty and remembering where
you came from. "The Meanest Of Times" contains all the best elements of the
DKM sound: a complex distillation of classic punk rock, Celtic folk and American
rock'n'roll, this album puts the band's diversity, intensity and sincerity on
full display.
From the Quincy Barbershop where it all began to Fenway Park the year the Red
Sox won the World Series to six sold out shows in a club they used to be barred
from to the title song in a Martin Scorsese feature film the DKM goal has always
remained the same. Says Ken Casey: "We always wanted to be that band that didn't
forget where it came from and we keep it in the forefront of our minds that
we're all in it together, audience and band members, as one, no one better than
the other. That's the M.O. of a lot of punk bands, but I think sometimes it
gets lost the minute a band has any kind of success. We never want to let it
go to our heads. We know how lucky we are to be doing this. It's because of
the people that listen to the band's music we have this opportunity to see the
world. I don't care if we're playing to 10 people or 10,000 people, those kids
that are up front singing our songs are the reason we're doing this."
Guys Thank you all first for the recomendation to play with you guys to the promoters, and being so nice and hope you had a great time, as you might found out by now, the airline we were flying on got closed down by the mexican version of the IRS, so we got screwd,no way to get to Monterrey or home to Tijuana finally we got back home, we ended up paying another airline to get a flight that we had to wait for 12 hours but it was all worth it to play at least one show with you guys, that we were more sad to miss the Monterrey show and end up paying a $1000 dlls more becuase of that horrible air line called AEROCALIFORNIA never fly with them, but belive me it was an honnor and a dream come true and all that happend to us worth it.
