  • Hearing Aide: Black 47′S 'Last Call'
    Hearing Aide: Black 47′s ‘Last Call’ Capital District CNY Finger Lakes Hudson Valley North Country Southern Tier WNY Downstate Out of State HOME NEWS FEATURES MUSIC FESTIVALS UPSTATE METAL ABOUT ADVERTISE SUBMIT BAND INFO You are here: Home / Features / Album Reviews / Hearing Aide: Black 47′s ‘Last Call’ Hearing Aide: Black 47′s ‘Last Call’ September 10, 2014 By Steve Malinski Leave a Comment One last musical statement. One more dance on the New York City skyline. One last call for Black 47. New York’s Black 47 released Last Call on March 4, 2014 and it is just that: their last call. After 25 years the band made a decision to stand down while they are still going strong and to reinforce that fact made a final musical statement with a solid 13-track album. For the loyal Black 47 fan and new listeners alike, Last Call beckons the ears into a fire of music still burning strong 25 years after the band’s first recording. It’s fresh, relevant, and not repetitive while keeping strong roots in Irish heritage. By no means does it sound like the band has plans of standing down following this album; however it does bring things full circle by incorporating a little bit of everything from the styles the band has composed with over their career – rock, punk, reggae, and even a splash of Latin music for something new. In line with the band’s Irish Republican sympathies, the lyrics on some songs are not shy on political and social commentary. A strength of the album in its composition is a tightness that can be heard in the rhythm section.

  • Black 47 Plays Hoboken; Zero Arrested
    BLACK 47 PLAYS HOBOKEN; ZERO ARRESTED Friday, September 05, 2014 The Hoboken Bar Network ~ hoboken-bar.net | Providing local insight to the Hoboken Bar Scene for over 17 years. contact us | advertise Search the Hoboken Bar Network! BLACK 47 PLAYS HOBOKEN ZERO ARRESTED Advertisements BLACK 47 PLAYS HOBOKEN; ZERO ARRESTED Frontman Larry Kirwan discusses Last Call, Irish Politics, and the arts scene in a town that made them infamous by: Christopher M. Halleron Like a crack flying column, the Irish-American mainstay Black 47 made an almost clandestine incursion into Hoboken last night—and managed to successfully execute their mission before anyone was able to notify the local constabulary. Riding strong on the vanguard of the Celtic rock movement, Black 47 have certainly left their mark. Given their colorful history with the Hoboken authorities, the significance of the show at Mulligan’s (159 First St.) was not lost on the band’s lead singer, Larry Kirwan, who kicked off the show with “Green Suede Shoes”—a song that pokes fun at long-standing controversy. “We're inextricably linked to Hoboken because of the closure of many bars in the town after an outdoor show that we did back in the summer of 1994.” “…that was exactly 20 years ago—many pints under the bridge since then.” –Larry Kirwan, Black 47 Accounts differ on what actually went down that day, but Kirwan’s version is that, “then-Chief of Police Carmen LaBruno grew alarmed when he saw the huge crowd who were—by the way—behaving themselves admirably. He ‘suggested’ that we stop the show… in my opinion that would have been madness—and I still stand by that, as the mood could have changed in moments.” The difference in opinion between Kirwan and LaBruno led to what became a lasting beef, as Black 47 were essentially blacklisted from playing in Hoboken.

  • Flogging Molly's Matthew Hensley Talks Celtic Tunes, Punk, Politics, and Skateboarding
    February 1. 2011 Q&A Flogging Molly's Matthew Hensley Talks Celtic Tunes, Punk, Politics, and Skateboarding By Lee Zimmerman, Tue., Feb. 1 2011 @ 2:00PM Best known for blending an upstart attitude with Celtic tradition, Flogging Molly can not only claim a sonic but also a geographical bond with the old country. The band's founder and frontman Dave King is a Dublin native whose familiarity with Irish insurgency is underscored by the fact he's able to draw on his own roots and reflections to shape the songs' themes, from childhood memories of religious and political strife to his forced relocation to the United States. Last week, Crossfade spoke with another Flogging Molly member, the band's piano, concertina, and accordion player Matthew Hensley, about Celtic tunes, St. Paddy's Day, punk, politics, and skateboarding. Crossfade: Is there a special affinity and kinship with bands like the Dropkick Murphys, Black 47, and the Pogues? Matthew Hensley: For the most part, yeah. I loved the Pogues growing up. Anytime they're around and I'm not touring, I go to see them play. I actually got to meet a few guys from the band and occasionally I email them and say hello. It's a big honor for me to even be in that game. We're friends with Black 47 and I've sat in with Dropkick Murphy a couple of times so I try to keep up with as much as possible. Your bookings for St. Patrick's Day must extend well into the next decade. We usually only book ourselves a year in advance.

Rooney. ”After the success of our outdoor summer concert series, our customers continued to request an outdoor Irish concert,” said Rooney. “These bands are the best of their kind and have an incredible fan base. We’re very excited to welcome them here to Empire City Casino.” Black 47, in its 25th year, has performed more than 2500 shows and recently announced that it will disband November 2014 after having recorded its final album, Last Call, and touring the country. The band became popular nationally after heavy airplay and television exposure on Leno, Letterman and Conan O’Brien. The concert at Empire City Casino is expected to draw thousands for what will be one of their final performances.
