Dropkick Murphys

By Aaron Ladage

Published on July 10, 2008

Seeing Dropkick Murphys at the Beaumont in the middle of July may not be the same as catching one of the band's legendary St. Patrick's Day concerts in Boston, but that doesn't mean it won't be the most fun you'll have at a show all year. Regardless of the season or location, it's hard for a crowd not to coalesce into a mass of pint-swinging, fist-pumping "oi" chanting when lead singer Al Barr starts growling "Skinhead on the MBTA" over high-octane Celtic-punk riffs. If you're not Irish, don't worry — you and your liver will be by the end of the night.
