Orlando Gets Ready to Rock with The Menzingers and Dropkick Murphys
Orlando is buzzing with excitement as it prepares to welcome two of the most energetic bands in punk music, The Menzingers and Dropkick Murphys, for a St. Patrick’s Day celebration like no other. The concert, scheduled for Thursday, March 6, at 7 p.m. at the House of Blues in Disney Springs, is sure to be a night filled with great music, fun, and a sense of community!
A Cold Morning and Big Reflections
It was a chilly morning in Philadelphia when Tom May, the co-vocalist and guitarist of The Menzingers, opened up about the upcoming tour in a relaxed setting that resembles a cozy recording studio in his home. As the band gears up for this thrilling event, May couldn’t help but reflect on the road ahead and what it means for both the band and their fans.
The Magic of Storytelling in Punk
At the heart of The Menzingers’ music lies the power of storytelling. May shared insights on how their songs resonate so deeply with fans, touching on the importance of shared experiences. This connection is what sets their music apart, creating an emotional bond during live performances. Nothing compares to the feeling of being in a packed venue, singing along with the crowd as one—something that May particularly cherishes!
New Tunes and Sentimental Journeys
Fans will also be excited to hear that The Menzingers recently released a track titled “Second City”, featured on Red Scare Industries’ “20 Years of Dreaming and Scheming” compilation album. As the band prepares for their tour, they are hard at work on new material, collaborating on songs they believe have the potential to resonate strongly with their audience.
Remembering Florida’s Impact
In a recent chat, May fondly recalled the band’s early days touring in Florida, especially in Orlando, one of the first places they began to gain traction. The nostalgia is palpable, especially with the upcoming performance now holding special significance for May, who grew up listening to Irish folk music and admires the unique fusion of Irish folk with punk rock that legends like the Pogues and Dropkick Murphys have pioneered.
A Humorous Touch
And if you think the life of a touring musician is all serious business, think again! May recounted a hilarious experience about renting a golf cart in the Panhandle Disney area to give rides to tourists walking along the highway. It’s moments like these that remind them of the joy and spontaneity that touring brings.
Join the Celebration!
With the concert fast approaching, excitement is rippling through the community. Orlando is in for a night of heart-thumping punk rock, cool vibes, and a sense of belonging that only live music can bring. The Menzingers are ready to hit the stage, and you won’t want to miss this unique fusion of punk and Irish tradition. Gather your friends, grab your tickets online, and prepare for an unforgettable St. Patrick’s Day bash!
Keep your calendars marked for March 6, and get ready to sing along and dance the night away at the House of Blues. This is not just a concert; it’s an experience bursting with passion, storytelling, and the true spirit of community that punk music embodies.
