Holy crap, I just found out last night. Gobshites are opening for Stiff Little Fingers at Showcase Live in Foxboro next Wednesday! How fucking psyched do you think I am right now?!?

I read that on Facebook!! That is totally awesome! Hopefully I will see you at the show. And Showcase Live is an incredible place to play. I think there set up is a million times better than House of Blues!!

Fucking right on! Congrats. i'd love to see SLF.

Yeah, we've actually played there a couple times. Once with Young Dubliners and once with Black 47. It's a great place to play, and they feed you, too.

SLF were great a couple years ago. I'll be in Memphis for work so I will miss it unfortunately.

Nice! Congrats.

Beware: if the bass player from The Jam is still playing with them then be prepared for him to be a giant asshole to you. We played with them back in 1997 and he went off. As I understand it he did the same to Dropkick Murphys a few years ago too. Just don't go in there expecting your potential musical heroes to treat you with kindness. :lol:

I actually heard they where all a bunch of A*Holes. one of my friends opened up for them at the Paradise a few years back and said they acted like douche bags.

I believe their original bassist Ali is back with them, but I'm not 100% sure. I'm trying to go to both NYC shows.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I have to bail on the gig. Shit.

Gobshites will still be there, but my daughter's class night is the same night, and that's something I can't miss out on. Oh well. Bad timing.
