Flogging molly

The flogging molly is a celtic rock/punk band that was formed in Los Angeles 1997. The name flogging molly originally comes from a local Hollywood bar named Molly Malone´s, Where the band also set its roots for its coming success. The Music that the flagging Molly is performing wasn't determined at the creation of the band, but grew from week to week at the weekly performances at Molly Malone's and it resulted that their set list and fans grew more and more.  Together they wrote songs such as Black Friday Rule and Devils Dance Floor, which was the beginning of Flogging Molly's unique sound. Ted and Jeff then left Flogging Molly because an earlier band of theirs received a record deal. Dave and Bridget began to find new members and the current band was formed.

They continued a routine of playing every Monday night at Molly Malone's. Then 17-year old Nathen Maxwell snuck into a show as a fan and soon after joined the band. Soon after that they put out their first live album, Alive behind the Green Door in 1997, which put them on the musical map, and their success was inbound.
