Street Dogs

STREET DOGS IN CONCERT:Classic Boston punk rock bares its teeth any time Beantown mainstays Street Dogs take the stage. The project of former Dropkick Murphy's singer Mike McColgan, Street Dogs have serious cred with punk fans, and their live shows live up to their reputation for hard-hitting, no-holds-barred showmanship. McColgan is an adrenaline-fueled force of nature in concert, whipping ticket buyers into a frenzy with his livewire energy and rowdy sing-alongs on anthemic cuts like "Fighter" and "Do or Die." The rest of the band is a well-oiled machine, bringing an air-tight musicianship and breakneck pace to their performances that keeps fans thrashing from start to finish.

Every band was amazing and fun, the crowd had a great vibe, the music was great! The Interrupters were a surprisingly good opener, young musicians with a great presence. The guitarist's dad played a trombone/trumpet type of instrument on one song, and the entire band had a closeness that really showed on stage. Devil's Brigade kicked ass, the band has a great energy with super talents like bass player Matt Freeman. There was an appearance from Tim "Timebomb" Armstrong that took the entire evening over the top, we were psyched to see these Rancid guys on the stage, it was a great kicker for an already sick Devi's Brigade show! The Street Dogs topped off the night with an energy that built off the opening bands and took it up another level. They played a good mix of songs and the lead singer was constantly mixing it up with the audience as he kept coming down off the stage into the crowd. The entire show was great!

Probably because it was Toby's last show, this night seemed to have more energy than Friday's show. A load of guests on stage adding to the excitement. A tribute to Joe Strummer was also much appreciated.

The Street Dogs always put on a great show, but it was amazing on St. Patricks Day! HOB Anaheim is an awesome venue... it's still small enough to feel intimate, but big enough so you don't feel crowded. Not a bad view in the house! I also like that you can take your beer anywhere inside the venue even though it's all ages. I hate feeling penned up in a small area because I want to drink my beer. Epic night!

If you haven't seen this band yet, then it's time to step up! This is the hardest working band in street punk today! It doesn't mather if it's a monday night show in some local bar or a headlining gig@El Rey, they deliver 24/7. @El Rey they played a lot off the new masterpiece simply titled"Street Dogs". They were at it from the beginning and the show was a mix of oldies and goodies, acoustics and with help from the the supporting bands on some tunes the party never ended!!! The band is in top shape, representing Boston and the songs are coming straight from the heart ( or the botlle) with sing alongs from every corner of this very nice venue!

I have attended approx. 200 punk-rock concerts over the last 30 years, and this was the first time I've seen a punk band with a bagpiper. It was awesome!

First of all, the Devils Brigade was awesome. Devils Brigade is Matt Freeman from Rancid's side project. Really great set. He played an upright bass for most of the songs and switched to a standard electric for a few Rancid songs! Some kids got into a fight halfway through the set and Matt stopped midway through a song to try and break it up. It seemed to really piss him off. Then the Street Dogs came on! Oh man, were they fired up! Mike called out the people on the balcony for sitting several times. Pretty rad. The Street Dogs always have so much energy and never disappoint.

All the bands were great, and allowed me to see some a hometown band from Boston in Philly. The Foundry could work on the placement of their speakers, sound is not optimal in the Foundry.

I rarely miss a chance to see Darkbuster. Altho the set list varies little, each one is a beer-fueled, shout along which grabs you instantly. Lenny Lashley is a real renaissance man - playing in both bands - along with drummer Paul Soscia. Street Dogs were fun. Even for me who is barely a casual fan, I recognized a bunch of songs: Savin Hill , Punk Rock and Roll , Not Without A Purpose , Jakes , Tobe s Got A Drinking Problem . And they threw in a surprise Bad Religion cover. Finally the mini-set of Dropkick Murphys tunes ( Front Seat , Caps and Bottles In the Streets of Boston ) in the encore, and finishing with \u2018Borstal Breakout was a treat!

So glad that the hiatus was a short one. Wouldn't quite feel right without a Wreck the Halls show. Street Dogs were solid from the get go. Good to see Tobe back in town, although he appeared to have some equipment issues. Lenny Lashley rocks! sooo cool to hear some Darkbuster thrown in there.. Great show..

The Friday night show for me had the better setlist. Loved them opening with the Bunker Hill Bag pipes then "Rattle and Roll" into "Up the Union", "Redemption Song" (Joe Strummers version of the Bob Marley classic) and "Dirty Old Town" (The Pogues) were great surprise covers mid set. The energy was great, the beers went down like water, and got to meet Mike after the show! Walked out with my ears ringing and overly excited. Saturday night was crazier, opener Death before Dis-honer were a little too hard and screamy for me( ear plugs). Street Dogs started off with the same Bunker Hill Bag Pipes , then opened with Savin Hill (removed ear plugs for the remainder of the show), it seemed a lot crazier, packed and edgier. The energy was high and stayed that way until the last song which as usual was insane. Punk is alive and well. Great job guys!

Street Dogs always put on an incredible show, but this time was even better than the last time I saw them. They are like an aged whiskey that takes on the characteristics of the venue they're in, and they sound better the older they get. Additionally, they're incredible guys. You can't find a nicer group of musicians in one place.

Another successful homecoming show. Both nights are not to be missed for any fan of the Street Dogs or Boston street punk. I'm still singing songs even though I lost my voice singing along all weekend.

The Street Dogs put on an Amazing Show!! They had a few bands opening for them. What Made the Night with them was The Bunker Hill Pipe Band from Charlestown, Ma. Originated by <3 The Dropkick Murphys<3. Mike McColgan was as much into his audience as the audience was into him.. He dove into his audience so carefree ... The audiences replied with open hands and smiles... It was a mix crowd as far as the age group goes... It was an all ages show... For myself I would prepare a 21 and older crowd... Over all They Rocked Boston!!

My friend told me about the show 2 weeks prior. I had not heard of any of the bands but for $15 tix, it wouldn't be horrid if it was a bust The opening band was out of place. The hardcore screamo didn't seem to fit in with the Irish, and/or folk undertones of the other groups, but the music was ok Lenny Lashley was a lot of fun to watch as his unique voice made me think of music my grandma would listen to on her record player. Old Man Markley was amazing and could have headlined on their own. Street Dogs were everything I expected from them, high energy and fans of the working class

The Street Dogs rocked another show. As always, totally played up to the crowd, had everyone slamming on the floor and finished the show with as much energy as they started it.

El Rey Theatre in Los Angles is a great little venue, the staff were polite and decent, they even had bath-room attendants. I took my 17 year old son, he loved The Sparring (The first band to play), Flatfoot 56, and his fav, Street Dogs. He was excited when he went to buy a c.d. and met front man Tobin Bawinkel of Flatfoot 56. He was so impressed that Tobin was out to meet the crowd. Also playing were Continental and Devil's Brigade, two more very good bands. All the bands were fun and got the crowd moving, the mosh-pit was a great time.

I've never been to the Galaxy Theater, but it was a great place for a show. I went to go see Flatfoot 56, but stayed for the entire show. All of the bands put on a great show, high energy, and just a fun time.

All of the bands brought a different energy and a different sound to the el Rey theater. Devils brigade, flatfoot 56, and street dogs put on a great show! I wish they were all playing again this weekend!
