Erin Broadley: Flogging Molly

ERIN BROADLEY: Flogging Molly

The first time Flogging Molly toured Japan, the band made a complete mess. Tucked inside the hotel bar with pals the Casualties and a group of Japanese punks -- done up to the nines in liberty spikes and leather jackets -- the band was getting rowdy in true form, shouting, "Kampai! Kampai!" and shattering more than a few beer glasses in the process.

"It's one of my favorite stories," Flogging Molly bassist Nathen Maxwell laughs. "And this just would not happen in the States... We’re just getting...

GREAT article, thanks.

One thing, though: that song title should be spelled "(No More) Paddy's Lament"...

Thanks man. Good eye... fixed. damn late night edit session

Nathen Maxwell leapt offstage after the encore into the front row of the audience to have an impromptu little conversation with me about how he's not supposed to be in Atlanta. I was nearly struck dead on the spot by the awesomeness of it.

Awesome article for an amazing band.

Such a good band, and genuinely nice people too. I think this is the first article I've read fully

One of the best live shows I have seen. Cool interview.

I was in a band that opened for Flogging Molly on a regular basis at good ol' Molly Malone's many years ago. Dave King sounds like pretty much the same guy now as he was then, and Nathen was "that new kid". We knew they were destined for something much better than the 10x10 stage at Molly's.

Good job guys! Great interview Erin!

One of the best things (and one of the few good things) about living in Phoenix, is that Flogging Molly has been here for the last 5 years (at least) on St. Patrick's Day.....it's a dream come true, and I love it! I've been there for every single one of those shows and I love every minute of it!! As soon as one St. Patty's day is over I'm planning another one, w/FM as the main event. Love it!!! They rock!!
