With Tim Brennan Dropkick Murphy's nice. Hear it? Louder than Life?

14
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:10.159
I'm glad the hurricane hit yesterday so you could play today.

15
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:11.799
Did it hit yesterday?

16
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:15.480
Because it's looking pretty bleak out there, I know, but yeah, yeah,

17
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:20.159
oh man, So how many times have you played Louder

18
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:22.280
than Life? I don't know. This is at least the

19
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:25.120
second time, at least one other time, but I'm not

20
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:25.840
entirely sure.

21
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:30.040
How do you like this festival compared to other festivals?

22
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:31.519
From what you know, it's great.

23
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:33.959
I mean, we don't play a ton of festivals in

24
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:36.400
the US, so it's always a pleasure for us to

25
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:38.239
come out and get to do these things. And yeah,

26
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:40.719
we's having despite the rain and the mud. We're gonna

27
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:41.599
have a great time today.

28
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:44.000
Oh well, we're gonna have a beautiful time. And so

29
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:46.480
you got this new song out that I think is

30
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:50.159
absolutely killers, like one of your best I think.

31
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:50.719
Thank you very much.

32
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:52.040
Tell us a little bit about that song.

33
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:54.560
Yeah, we've been working on some new stuff recently. We

34
00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:56.840
had just done. The last thing we've put out was

35
00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:01.159
two acoustic albums of Woody Guthrie unpublished. He got through lyrics,

36
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:04.719
that's and so when we started working on this new one,

37
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.439
I don't I think all of the acoustic guitars got

38
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:09.560
thrown out of the practice space when we started working

39
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:12.879
on this new one. So Sirens is sort of indicative

40
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:14.919
of the sound of the new stuff we've been working on.

41
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:18.759
But yeah, we're we're obviously happy to be doing new

42
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:22.120
stuff like that. And then just as far as subject matter,

43
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:25.800
it seemed pretty apropos for the time, seeing as though

44
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:28.599
we just everybody needs to just come back together, you know.

45
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.719
So yeah, so it came out at a good time.

46
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:35.000
I think I love it because I keep saying that

47
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:38.360
all the time, Like, to me, you got all these

48
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:41.360
people that are powers up be manipulating us to hate

49
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:43.919
each other, and we need to just band together the

50
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:45.039
whole fricking world.

51
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:49.280
I agree. I'm not political in the slightest right, but

52
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:55.400
the but like I am, just for everybody being as one,

53
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:55.879
you know what I.

54
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:58.960
Mean exactly exactly. I don't think there should be sides.

55
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.080
I don't think there should be lay and we're all

56
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:03.639
human beings with different experiences and we can all just

57
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:05.479
love each other and learn from each other.

58
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:08.960
And it's so strange to see how quickly the sides

59
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:10.759
got sort of divided, you know what I mean. It's

60
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:13.159
it's too bad. So I'm hoping that in the near

61
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:16.039
future everyone can cut the bullshit and just come together.

62
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:16.280
You know.

63
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:18.240
I think that that's what music does.

64
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:18.960
Absolutely.

65
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:22.520
I think that lockdown period is why so many people

66
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:25.159
are angry and depressed, because we didn't have live music

67
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:26.240
to get it all out.

68
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:26.759
Yeah.

69
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:29.960
Absolutely, that's certainly certainly a good a good part of it.

70
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:33.400
Yeah, let's talk about your documentary, because that's pretty cool

71
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:37.919
as shit to be blunt. Tell us how the idea

72
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:41.080
even came about to start doing that and then take

73
00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:41.599
us through it.

74
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:44.879
So in the early two thousands, so our best known

75
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:47.879
songs shipping up to Boston, those are as silly as

76
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:50.759
they are. Those are Woody Guthrie lyrics in the early

77
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:55.639
two thousands, thanks to Nora Guthrie, who is Woody's daughter

78
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:58.960
and is in charge of the archives. Her son was

79
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:02.080
just a teenage drap fan at the time her mom,

80
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:04.879
his mom was starting to get in touch with bands

81
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:07.879
asking them to bring what he's unpublished lyrics to life,

82
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:10.639
and he said, Mom, I think these guys might be

83
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:13.800
a good fit for that. So the two that came

84
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:16.519
out of that were Shipping Hup to Boston and a

85
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:18.560
song called going to Be a Blackout Tonight, which is

86
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:22.040
on our album called Blackout. And we always knew we

87
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:25.439
wanted to do more, but the opportunity just hadn't come

88
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:28.040
about yet. And then Nora got in touch with us,

89
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:30.240
asked us if we were interested in doing more, and

90
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:33.040
we decided. We ended up getting two albums worth of

91
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:36.040
lyrics that were unpublished from and that was such a

92
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:39.120
great experience and what an honor to be trusted enough

93
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:39.480
to do.

94
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:43.639
Something blow your mind that holy shit, Absolutely, I'm thinking

95
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:44.360
I'm dreaming.

96
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:46.639
If that happens to me, that's not real life.

97
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:48.839
You know, when we were kids and or when we

98
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:52.600
were younger, and like music, the physical copies of music

99
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:54.680
was a thing, and you would get a thing by

100
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:56.720
your favorite band and the singer would be wearing a

101
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.000
T shirt of some band you've never heard of, and

102
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:01.639
then you would go lit start listening to friggin Minor

103
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:04.199
Threat or something and have your mind blown. So if

104
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:07.800
we can introduce some younger Dropkicks fans to Woody Got Three,

105
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:09.639
if that's the way that they get into it, then

106
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:12.959
I mean, that's great. But what an honor to be

107
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:14.600
asked to do that. It was unbelievable.

108
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:16.240
How do you think that even happened?

109
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:18.879
Like, I don't even know. I mean, I guess it's

110
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:22.800
luckily Nora saw something a saw like a kindred spirit

111
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:25.399
in us when initially asking us to do those first

112
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:28.079
GOT three things, and luckily she was happy with the

113
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:31.439
end product and asked us to do more. But yeah, unbelievable.

114
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:36.399
So as the artist does it do you even realize that,

115
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.720
like you're you have a fan base, it's like a

116
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:41.480
cultish type following.

117
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:44.079
Does that even occur to you as the artist?

118
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:48.480
No? No, no, I mean we're if if if we

119
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:51.040
weren't in the band, we would be sweeping up the

120
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:54.680
venues after they were done. I mean like we're the

121
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:59.079
post munch of the biggest bunch of unlikely just normal

122
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:02.439
ass dudes you've ever in your life. So no, anytime

123
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:05.160
we get to do these mind blowing things, it's certainly

124
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:07.439
not lost on us. But I think we're just sort

125
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:10.439
of how did we even? How did this even happen?

126
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:11.319
Right? Yeah?

127
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:17.399
And so now you've been doing a long time, what

128
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:19.160
I find it's a lot of bands I've been doing

129
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:23.000
a long time they still don't realize or it's like

130
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:24.240
still not real life.

131
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:25.839
Do you feel the same way. Absolutely?

132
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:29.680
Yeah, We're just doing what we know how to do.

133
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.199
And I'm still blown away when I walk on stage

134
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:36.000
every night and see all the people before the show.

135
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:38.759
I assume we're going to play to ten people probably tonight,

136
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:40.399
and then I walk out there and the whole place

137
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:41.720
is full, and I can't believe it.

138
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:44.639
And that's exactly what is going to happen today.

139
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.560
Yeah, they're gonna be wet and muddy and ready to go.

140
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:50.319
And having a frickin' blast.

141
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:51.720
Yeah that's all we ask Sha.

142
00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:55.399
What's your favorite part as a musician of what you do?

143
00:06:56.399 --> 00:07:01.399
I mean, obviously performing is amazing. I love when we

144
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:05.680
are working on new stuff, I love, that's always super exciting.

145
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:07.639
And when we get to play new songs live, when

146
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:10.680
we started just recently playing that new song Sirens live,

147
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:14.480
that's a thrill because it's different and you're excited to

148
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:18.439
see the reaction and everything. I mean, the only thing

149
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:20.680
I'm qualified to do in life is play music, So

150
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:23.160
it makes me incredibly happy. You'll be able to get

151
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:24.279
up there every day and do that.

152
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:24.879
There you go.

153
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:28.040
And I love what you said about playing the new

154
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:31.199
music because I think a lot of fans they don't

155
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:34.720
get it, Like it gets monotonous after a while to

156
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:37.639
play the same stuff you've been playing for years. Absolutely,

157
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:40.639
Like that's how you get the excitement by playing the

158
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:44.680
new music. And then if the crowd's excited, that's like

159
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:46.920
a renewed love of what you're doing.

160
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:49.879
Yeah, it's so great. And like to watch it slowly

161
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:52.399
marinate among the crowd, and like you put out a

162
00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:55.120
record and you go on a tour for that record,

163
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:56.959
and like in the beginning people are into it, but

164
00:07:56.959 --> 00:07:59.160
you don't really see it. Slowly you start people singing

165
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:01.600
along and start seeing people singing along the songs, and

166
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:04.000
then by the end of the tour, it's everyone's absorbed it.

167
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:06.160
It's just the whole process is so fun.

168
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:09.040
Does it trip you out to that there could be

169
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:12.759
songs that you don't sing at all and the whole

170
00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:14.560
crowd knows the whole song.

171
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:18.480
Yeah, that's that's so insane when that sort of thing happens. Yeah,

172
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:21.720
it's it's unbelievable. Yeah, maybe it'll happen today, who knows.

173
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:24.240
I think it will. I think it will happen today

174
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:25.000
for surely.

175
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:28.240
And Chipping up to Boston there's like four lines of lyrics,

176
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:30.759
so at the very least you can remember those and

177
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:31.680
sing those at us.

178
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:32.159
Now.

179
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:35.080
Does that amaze you that you can have so little

180
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:36.919
lyrics yet say so much.

181
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:41.519
Yeah, it's crazy to have that song be what it is.

182
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:43.759
I mean, I think so much of that is due

183
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.720
to the fact that it was in The Departed, because

184
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:50.519
it happens for me too, as a huge fan of

185
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:54.679
both music and movies. When you when a good song

186
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:57.159
is placed well in a movie and it gives you

187
00:08:57.240 --> 00:09:01.159
something to connect it with in your brain, that just

188
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:02.840
goes to show you. If you if you read the

189
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:05.279
lyrics of Shipping Up to Boston, the fact that we

190
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:07.559
turned that into a song and didn't just look at

191
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:09.159
that and go what the heck are we going to

192
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:13.200
do with that? And the fact that so Nora Guthrie

193
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:15.919
herself says, it's like the silliest grouping of where it's

194
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:19.480
that her dad ever wrote, and yet it's turned into

195
00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:21.960
such a far reaching song. It's undel I mean, it

196
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:23.360
just goes to show you the power of music.

197
00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:27.120
Oh yeah. See, to me, music is the best therapy.

198
00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:30.080
It's the best therapy for you the artist and me

199
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:35.600
the listener, because even you could be performing and having

200
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:38.840
one meaning in your head and I'm getting something else

201
00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:41.159
out there, and as well as everybody's getting what they need.

202
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:44.200
Yeah, I think that's what we need to heal the world.

203
00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:46.600
Yeah, I mean, you know, it's like everything out here

204
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:49.440
is just vibrations, you know what I mean, And the

205
00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:52.879
fact that music can do whatever it does to our

206
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:55.080
bodies to when you get when you hear a song

207
00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:57.960
and you get goosebumps like yeah, what is that even?

208
00:09:58.000 --> 00:09:58.159
You know?

209
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:01.919
I mean, it's like this weird intern thing that's just

210
00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:03.679
so great. So the fact that I get to be

211
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:06.480
a part of that at all is amazing.

212
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:09.639
Well, well, you guys are amazing. Thank you so much.
