Mississippi Music: Boiled in Lead (Legendary MN Celt-folk-punk)
Advertisement
North Central Door is the generous sponsor of this Mississippi Music at the Bemidji Waterfront concert. On Wednesday, August 5th, we are very lucky to welcome the truly legendary, Boiled in Lead.
This concert, sponsored by North Central Door is presented FREE to the Bemidji Community!
Boiled In Lead is the longest-running Celtic punk band in America, and an important part of the foundation of what became Minnesota punk rock. Bob Mould (Sugar, Husker Du) was among those who praised the band’s first self-released LP (“Even the fiddles rock,”) and the Hüskers invited the band to play an early show at Goofy’s Upper Deck (which would become the infamous First Avenue). Today, the band’s star is still on the wall at First Avenue. (see photo in comments)
An Onion A&E quote describes the band’s approach well: “…the prime purveyor of a style of Celtic music infused with punk-rock attitude, developing over the years with a hard-driving swirl that combined Irish folk with heavy rock and elements of styles from all over the world. …one of the best bands Minnesota’s ever produced. …"
On Wednesday, August 5th, Boiled in Lead will be live, on the Mississippi Music Stage at Bemidji's Downtown Shore. Music is from 6 until 8 p.m.
Sponsored by North Central Door.
