What became of rebels?

A fanlisting is simply an online list of fans of a subject, such as a TV show, actor, or musician, that is created by an individual and open for fans from around the world to join. In this case, the subject is the band Flogging Molly.
Flogging Molly is a seven-piece Irish-American Celtic punk band, that formed in Los Angeles and is currently signed under SideOneDummy Records.

Dave King: vocals, acoustic guitar, bodhran, banjo, spoons Bridget Regan: fiddle, tin whistle, uilleann pipes, backing vocals Dennis Casey: electric guitar, backing vocals Matt Hensley: accordion, concertina Nathen Maxwell: bass guitar, backing vocals Bob Schmidt: mandolin, mandola, banjo, bazouki, backing vocals George Schwindt: drums, percussion, bodhran

Flogging Molly has released four major studio albums, Swagger, Drunken Lullabies, Whiskey on a Sunday, and Within a Mile of Home, as well as an independent live album entitled Alive Behind the Green Door. They have toured with the Warped Tour and Larry Kirwan's American Fléadh Festival. They also contributed to the Rock Against Bush project. Also, as of late they have done extensive touring with the self-proclaimed Gypsy punk band, Gogol Bordello, which is also signed under SideOneDummy Records.

In a recent interwiew with Kerrang! magazine, Dave King revealed that the band's name comes from Molly Malone's, an Irish pub in LA. "We used to play there every Monday night and we felt like we were flogging a dead horse, so we called the band Flogging Molly."

Their music is heavily influenced by such bands as The Pogues, and has many references to the Roman Catholic Church< and ranges from boisterous punk rock like the pirate-themed "Salty Dog" and "Seven Deadly Sins," or the defiant "What's Left of the Flag" and "Rebels of the Sacred Heart" to more somber songs like "Far Away Boys", "The Son Never Shines (On Closed Doors)", or "Death Valley Queen". The driving forces behind the music tend to be King's gravelly voice and Regan's manic fiddling. Prior to forming Flogging Molly, Dave King was the vocalist for Fastway, a late 80s-early 90s heavy metal band.
