Yup! Went for my latest DKM fix on Thursday night and as usual i was'nt left disappointed! The band came on before Less Than Jake and just blitzed their way thru an hour of mayhem It was a sell out and the place was jumping!! Everything was just right Oh yes Less Than Jake were pretty good also

Great night in Birmingham the other night - the Dropkicks were on fire! Though one thing that puzzles me, why on earth did they play second fiddle to Less Than Jake when they're probably neck and neck popularity-wise? Surprising what ground they covered during their 45-50 minute set though, kicking off with For Boston and ending with Kiss Me I'm Shitfaced, bit disappointed no Skinhead, Fields Of Athenry or As One but they were still brilliant nevertheless!
Thought The Living End were great as well, lost interest after the Murphys though Less Than Jake were okay, the best band should've headlined...
Roll on tonight - I'm seeing them in Exeter!
Oh yes, and at £20 a t-shirt? You gotta be kidding!

Totally agree with you on the T-shirt front even if i did fork out the 20 bangers required Had to lend a tenner off me pal in order to do so as well! Also i agree with ya that DKM's are just as big than LTJ over here, i have to be honest and say that there were more kids there to see LTJ than DKM's The boys still went down a storm tho. The pit down the front was one of the best i have seen in a long time ;D I think it's about time the Murph's came back for a tour of their own

Was in glasgow and it was brilliant. I agree with the price of t-shirts £20 a bit much. But my mate wanted one of the scarfs and they were £20 also bit steep for a scarf.

Exeter was fab, probably a better gig as there's something about the Carling Academy chain that loses the atmosphere a bit.
And they ran out of Guinness before the Murphys came on, wtf is that all about!
Anyway, for those of you that are interested, the DKM's are touring Europe early 2007. Just looking at the flights on Easyjet, they are soooo cheap, less than £26 return to Amsterdam! I am tempted...

Oh yes, and at £20 a t-shirt? You gotta be kidding! $38 bucks for a t-shirt? Must be an import tax. I only laid out $20 for one at the show here that's only about 11 pounds. Now if you were using Euros, it would have been a lot cheaper. ;D
