Agree on both points, just that with DKM the whole irish thing really freaken grates after a while. Saw them in cork on the Do Or Die tour and it was deadly. Saw them again about two years ago and it was a bit... I mean they did wild rover for feck sake. But yeah, nice lads.

i think that if flogging molly were irish based they would be playing biker rallys & redneck pubs in the midlands. the only reason they are where they are today is because the yanks buy in to that whole irish bullshit thing. I saw them in tbmc 18 months ago. great gig, good fun. shit on c.d. Thats just my opinion.

- Within a Mile of Home?

For Dave King, the Dublin-born singer/guitarist/songwriter of SideOneDummy recording group Flogging Molly, the band's third studio album, Within a Mile of Home, brings him back to his childhood and the traditional Irish music he grew up with. With the help of his Flogging Molly compatriots and producer Ted Hutt, Within a Mile of Home has finally taken King full circle, back to his roots, and oh what a journey it has been.

"My family would go to the pub and gather up people to come back to the house to play tin whistle, mandolin, fiddle and spoons, with my mom on piano and my uncle on accordion," he reminisces. "But I wanted to run away from that. As you get older, you want to pick up electric guitars and play loud. You rebel against those traditional elements." So Dave hit the road and did just that.

King began his musical career as a member of Fastway, teaming up with Motorhead guitarist Eddie Clarke in the late '80s, having played New York's Madison Square Garden and L.A.'s Great Western Forum, only to eventually find himself scrubbing the toilets of ghetto clubs where he performed with just an acoustic guitar. For the musician, who originally came to L.A. from London in 1989 at the invitation of legendary Geffen A and R exec John David Kalodner to be in a band called Katmandu, it wasn't until forming Flogging Molly that he began to write and play "for myself and no one else." These days, he insists, he is right where he wants to be.
