DROPKICK MURPHYS have announced opening acts for their run of seven shows in six days at Boston’s House of Blues the week of St. Patrick’s Day (March 12-17). Among the openers for DROPKICK MURPHYS hometown shows are NYC hardcore legends Sick Of It All, Bay Area punks Swingin’ Utters and their folk/punk alter-ego Filthy Thieving Bastards (featuring three of the five Utters), and current DKM tourmates Larry And His Flask.
The eclectic rotation of opening acts offers something for all facets of the DROPKICK MURPHYS fan base – from hardened punk rockers to local partisans to Celtic folk devotees. Sick Of It All (3/16-17), Swingin’ Utters (3/14-15) and Larry And His Flask (3/12 & 3/17) all perform double-duty, as does Toronto psychobilly quartet The Creepshow (3/12 & 3/13 matinee show). Filthy Thieving Bastards play the late show on March 13 along with Boston-based Celtic traditionalists The Old Brigade. Other openers from the local scene include The Have Nots (3/13 matinee show), Rhode Islanders Sharks Come Cruisin (3/14), Cocked N’ Loaded (3/15), and Bryan McPherson (3/16).
