Flogging Molly will get f**cking romantic all over you, Nashville. 
So, it’s Valentines Day, but maybe you’re more into the green – St. Patrick’s Day – then the red and pink. Flogging Molly, Los Angeles’ own Celtic punk ensemble, is playing tonight at Marathon Music Works as part of their Green 17 tour, a countdown to St. Paddy’s with a celebration in each city they stop in. Tonight’s show happens to fall on the schmaltziest of holidays, so it’s the perfect antidote if you’d rather thrash around then fight the crowds at CVS for the last of the Valentine’s Day card pickings and then pay too much for a mediocre dinner with four courses that might have been better as one. Not like I’m speaking from personal experience or anything.
(They also recently recorded “The Times They Are A-Changin” on Chimes Of Freedom: The Songs Of Bob Dylan, a tribute album to Bobby Z. This is not relevant to Valentines Day, but Bob Dylan is, well, always relevant in my book).
But not that these guys aren’t romantic or anything. Why, au contraire! Here’s A Happy F**king Valentines by Flogging Molly. If you want more, head to Marathon Music Works tonight with zero red on and your best steel-toed boots. Because who doesn’t think a hot date to a GG Allin show wouldn’t be the most romantic of all?
