The Dropkick Murphys have completed 5 months of touring with their November 15th performance at the Fleet Center after the Boston Bruins game. You can view photos from the event here. Ken Casey wrote on the band's website, "What an honor and once again we want to thank everyone that stuck around after the game to see us. We were shocked at how many people were still there to support us, it was a great feeling. Also let us not forget to thank the entire Boston Bruins organization, the players, and especially two players Nick Boyton (who played an unbelievable game) and Brian Rolston (who scored the game winner in overtime) for joining us onstage to play guitars on "BOYS ON THE DOCKS" . They definitely proved that they play guitar better than I skate!"

The band has announced their annual St. Patrick's Day shows. As the holiday takes place in the middle of the week in 2004, the band has scheduled the shows for the weekend prior. It will coincide with a Bruins hockey game on Saturday and the St Patrick's Day parade on Sunday. Once again the shows will be at the Avalon Ballroom in Boston (on Friday March 12th, Saturday March 13th and Sunday March 14th). Tickets went on sale this week, check the band's site for details. In the coming year the band will release their DVD On The Road with the Dropkick Murphys.
