Fredericksburg.com - Good golly Flogging Molly (841 words)
Flogging Molly is currently in the thick of a 17-city, two-tours-in-one trek across the United States.
Flogging Molly's current tour wraps up in mid-March, and the band will tour more this year, playing festivals and traveling to Australia, but the main focus will be writing a new album to follow 2004's "Within a Mile of Home," Maxwell said.
From the beginning, naysayers tried to tell Flogging Molly that their style of music wouldn't be successful, and that they wouldn't make it past performing in bars, Maxwell said, but the band would have none of it.
