Episode 6 of the Get Your Rocks Off podcats is up. Rocks Off honcho y jefe Jake sits with Matt Caughthran of perennial Concert Cruise favorites the Bronx / Mariachi El Bronx and they discuss how to make it in a band when you have no discernable talent, feeling like a ghost in your own city, and how "if you can't dazzle them with brilliance, then baffle them with bullshit." It's a great relaxed interview / conversation between these two titans of terror. You can stream or download through the Rocks Off website HERE or through iTunes HERE. As always you can subscribe through iTunes so new episodes download as they are published - and if you like them we encourage you to rate and review them on iTunes to spread the word.

Dropkick Murphys' singer kicks some Nazi Ass Onstage!

Dropkick Murphys bassist Ken Casey heads over to deliver justice to a Nazi-saluting skinhead

Last week when the Dropkick Murphys played Termianl 5 for two nights, things were going according to plan. It was St Patty's Day week, the shows were packed, and people were getting drunk. And rowdy. Really rowdy. As has become tradition the band invited the ladies to come onto the stage for their encore of "Kiss Me I'm Shitfaced" 50+ ladies made it past the barricade and onto the stage and danced the song away. The band then kicked into "Skinhead on the MBTA" and a ton of dudes were getting past security and the stage ended up being packed tighter than the underside of a real man's kilt. As the band kicked into T.N.T. by AC/DC some moron started seig heiling (the nazi salute) in time to the beat.

Dropkicks singer / bassist Ken Casey noticed this and ran right over to the guy, smashed him in the face, took off his bass and hit him with that and then jumped on him and all out chaos ensued. We could only assume from our vantage point that said nazi got his ass kicked. About 30 seconds later Ken emerged from the pileup with his shirt torn and made his way back to the front of the stage. He strapped on his bass and said into the microphone "Nazis are NOT FUCKING WELCOME at a Dropkick Murphys show."

That's some straight up gangsta shit. God bless you Ken Casey. And God Bless America.

Here is some video of what happened:
