The Dropkick Murphys aren’t concerned with being the center of attention; it’s a bonus if they have many fans, but if some people don’t appreciate them, that’s alright as well. Over time, they’ve carved out their unique place in our culture, and that’s what truly matters.
But there are certain truths the band lives by. One is that they are not going to give up their own worldviews just to make people happy. At a recent concert, a fan held up a black MAGA hat (the kind that Elon Musk wears), and singer Ken Casey told the person, “This is America, there’s no kings here. Anyway, if you mind, sir, we’re gonna play a song about our grandparents and people who fought Nazis in the war and shit. So if you could just shut the (expletive) up for five minutes.”
This is not the first time that the Murphys have commented to a crowd about some wearing political paraphernalia that they are out of place and their wears are not welcome. The band has that right. Unlike pop stars who just want to sell records, one goes to a Dropkick Murphys concert to be a part of a community.

But some have also commented that the Murphys X/Twitter handle has been suspended as well. Is that because Musk was mad, or was something else afoot? Casey told Rolling Stone that the reason for the suspension was the band’s choice. They simply did not want to be affiliated with Musk.
Casey shared with the publication that they ended things with him initially. They deactivated their Twitter account in 2022 when he was merely a semi-Nazi. Later, someone else assumed their handle, falsely presenting it as their official account. In response, they filed a legal claim to halt this misrepresentation, which is why the @dropkickmurphys account appears suspended now.
The band also just completed its annual run of Boston shows that revolve around St. Patrick’s Day. These are can’t-miss shows if you are anywhere close to the city, and streaming service Veeps broadcast the March 17 show live. The band was great, and the selection of songs ranged from the early years of the group to more recent times.
In simpler terms, the sound during the livestream wasn’t crystal clear. It appeared that the decision was made to mute crowd noise (which was a mistake as audience interaction is an essential part of a Murphys concert), and the microphones had a tinny quality overall. While Casey’s vocals were audible, the rest of the band’s harmonies were not distinct. The higher notes from the bagpipes were barely heard on Veeps.
The idea to bring Dropkick Murphys live on St. Patrick’s Day was a good one. The execution was not.
