Potential Flogging Molly Cruise!?!?

Vanilla Gorilla - 2-3-2010 at 09:17 PM

I got this email, it seems like a pretty cool idea if it was done right and it wasn't insanely expensive. Seems more like something Gene Simmons of KISS would do though.

All Aboard, Flogging Molly Fans!!!

We have a very exciting proposition to make to all of you. For the first time ever, we are considering joining our fans on a very special Flogging Molly Caribbean Cruise!

The cruise would be in late January, 2011 and would travel from South Florida to the Caribbean and back, with port of calls in Belize, Cozumel, and Cancun. This is your chance to get up close and personal with the band as they take the stage on the high seas in this unusually intimate venue! Besides Flogging Molly, there will be several other musical guests hand-picked by the band to keep the excitement rolling during the trip.

In addition to musical performances, there will be many other special events with Flogging Molly such as exclusive 'hangs' with the band, photos sessions with Flogging Molly, Q&A with individual band members, special bar time with members of Flogging Molly tending bar - and many more events that we haven't even thought of yet.

Our cruise will be comparably priced with other 5-7 day Caribbean cruises, and take place on one of the premier international cruise lines. Don't for a minute think you'll be slumming it! Here's the big question...how many of you are interested? It really comes down to the number of fans that choose to join us to determine if and when we 'go for it'. Are you interested in attending? If so, please write us at floggingmolly@villamartists.com right away. We have to get a fairly accurate gauge of interest prior to locking in our cruise ship.

FLOGGING MOLLY

Maybe you can do the mini-Boston version of this idea...

I like Flogging Molly enough. They're quite the live show and all. But in general I hate Irish music. They're one of only a few bands that get a pass in my book. Their last album lacked all the energy that makes them special though. And this sort of event crosses the line into complete silliness though they will make a small fortune from the idea.

I like FM, but this whole thing just reeks of the gay.

I'd go on a cruise with the pogues from ireland to ellis. That would be pretty fuckin cool.

You mean london?

seems like a good idea if there were a bunch of good bands but then it would essentially be a floating festival. I like flogging molly but i would end up throwing 90% of the people on the boat overboard after the first day.

I laughed heartily.

They always tour with the same bands every time. Aggrolites, Street Dogs and that band from Texas that isn't as good as everyone says.

damn, you all summed up my thoughts exactly.

a cruise with flogging molly and street dogs would be cool if i had the cash. a cruise with them and their fans would not be so cool. i think the punk rock cruises (legit cruises and booze cruises) must be terrible. didn't some on here post the bad brains booze cruise? these things are all weak. reminds me of an attempt to recreate the cruise scene from sid and nancy, and even that sucked.

You would'nt beleave how many other shitty punk rock bands have done that in tribute to the sex pistols.

Silly cunts.

only weird thing about that review is that it was on brooklyn vegan. but maybe i just associate vegan with militant sXe too much based on where i've lived, and a positive review of murphy's law from a militant sXe website blows my mind.

BDx13 - 2-4-2010 at 11:08 PM

it was the first example i found.
seriously, i haven't heard a bad thing about rocks off.
