punk rock tattoos and kilts

[seamus]

ah, a lovely post. i've been into the mckenzies for aaaaages. i freakin love those guys. and i def think "lochd and loaded" is their best album. and i've seen the tossers three times - theyre right here in chicago. nice little band. and of course, DKM (their old stuff! cant stand the new singer), though i wish they had used their pipes more. i like flogging molly plenty as well. but of course, no one compares to the almighty pogues. absolutely brilliant. then (more for you, i spose, mike) i'v egot global threat, (old) virus, the business, oxymoron, sham 69, cockney rejects. lovely to see some other punk fans out there.

oh, and of course! how could i forget. shillelaigh law, of evanston, IL. ...wait, that's my band! haha, but seriously, seven-piece celtic folk-punk band - we just got a piper! how awesome is that! just popped out of the woodwork. so can anyone recommend some punk-caliber scottish songs we could do? i was thinking about doing a harder version of wild mountain thyme. anyway, huzzah for suggestions (esp with mp3s attached)! if i dont get responses, i'll just make a new post. thanks lads.

A band out here (the shanty's) does a "harder" version of "Donald, where's your trousers?". That's pretty appropriate for guys in kilts.

hiya seamus,

i love the old uk stuff ie:sham, cockney rejects
how about covering the Mahones? i would love to hear a punked up version of drunken lazy bastard or drunkin night in dublin. i can send u mp3's if u need em.

ps: send me a demo

ya know, i've actually heard both those songs, and i LOVE drunken night in dublin. I actually considered covering it, but it's pretty complicated...and we're pretty lazy. not to mention, we dont want to do too many covers, except for the odd pogues song.

lol-do an easy version of drunken night for drunken fun- a punked up version of that would be wicked my friend!

How did no one in this thread mention Black 47? Not the punk pace to their music like DKM or Flogging Molly, but similar. If you like the bands that have already been mentioned, you might like Black 47 also.
