Listen Before the Show: Whiskey of the Damned

It might be a little difficult for some to party so soon after New Year’s, but it’s never too early to start practicing for St. Patrick’s Day. If you’re a fan of Flogging Molly, the Pogues, Dropkick Murphys, et al., you’re certain to take a liking to Milwaukee’s Whiskey of the Damned. The quintet kicks out rock and roll with pennywhistle, squeezebox and (one would assume) pints of whiskey. You can jig your feet off when they take the stage Thursday, January 5, at RecordBar between Mikal Shapiro and Claire and the Crowded Stage. Take a listen to “Thumpkeg,” off their Craic Agus Whiskey release.
