Dropkick Murphy’s in Kansas City
If you watch a lot of television in Ireland, the sort of television that shows Irish programmes (rather than American or British imports), you’ll get to hear the Dropkick Murphy’s being blasted at you at frequent dramatic and promotional moments.
I don’t know if it was done immediately upon release of the DM’s album, The Warrior’s Code - their 5th - or if we have Martin Scorsese to thank, but either way you get to hear I’m Shipping Up To Boston so much you’ll think it was made in Ireland.
According to all the online ticketing sites, and the FaceBook I Like application, The Dropkick Murphys are playing at Kansas City’s Beaumont Club on Tuesday, July 15, 2008.
The gig is not yet listed on the band’s official site, nor their MySpace, nor the Beaumont’s site, but I’ve seen it listed in enough other places to warrant telling you about it. Most of them say it starts at 8pm, though the poster I saw from Hunt Industries lists a 7pm start.

You might want to keep an eye.
When I get around to bringing the KC Irish Events calendar up to date, I’ll list this Dropkick Murphys event on there.
