    If you can find it the Murphys’ St. Patrick’s Day show from 2024 was amazing. Billy Bragg played and Woody Guthrie’s daughter came on stage.

    Best concert I’ve moshed alone to in my living room since 2020

    For basically as long as they’ve been around, I’ve mostly dismissed the Murphys as “too Boston” (which, in this sense, means dickish Boston Irish). But these last few years have really shown me I was just an idiot and they are exactly the kind of Boston Irish I want around.

      Using them as actual slaves. This guy is sick.

      Does your sister condone this or is she complaining to you about it? Take video of these threats, consider sendimg them to ProPublica or AP.

      Knowing that information, and not making it public, makes you complicit.

      Figure out a way to safely and publicly disclose that information.

      If I had to guess, he’s a Florida landscaper or contractor, because that’s their MO, but just because it’s commonplace, doesn’t mean you’re not complicit for choosing not to share the information.

    Saw these guys at Louder than Life in 2024. It was muddy as fuck because it basically monsooned the day before, and was still drizzling on and off that day. I was soaked to the bone, covered in mud up to my thighs, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Definitely one of the funnest, most high energy performances of the whole weekend.

        I’ve gone most years since like 2020, and 2024 was the only year it was super muddy

      If they have another show in Toronto I’d love to attend.

    I know it’s pedantic, but many of them are ex-military. It’s part of why they’re so primed to shoot anyone they find inconvenient.

      yep unfortunately even people criticizing ICE often refuse to critically examine the military which is much much worse.

      The song is supposed to anger them. I love factuality like any other, but in this case I’m totally fine.

    They pulled an Elton John. It’s a reworded version of a song they already played.

      MUCH better to do so in order to mock the modern Gestapo than to praise a princess, though 🤷
