Mighty Mighty Reunion
Live Bosstones shows (especially in the pre-frat boy yelling “play Knock on Wood!” era) have always been a special occasion. It’s tough to explain how great the early shows were to people that just know them as another late 90’s fad ska band, but they really were something special. I haven’t missed a Detroit area Bosstones show since 1993, so obviously I was beyond excited when they announced their reunion tour after a six year hiatus. Finding out that their reunion tour would be spent opening for the bland, psuedo-Irish, oi also-rans, the Dropkick Murphys was, to say the least, disappointing.
But, given the conditions, the boys played a great set, and it made me feel like a kid again to see them back in plaid! Here’s hoping for a headlining club tour later this year!
