Floggin Molly is an Irish American celtic punk band that formed in Los Angeles, California that combines traditional Celtic instruments with some guitars and drums. It has seven members: Dave King – lead vocals, acoustic guitar, bodhrán, banjo, spoons; Bridget Regan – fiddle, tin whistle, uillean pipes, vocals; Dennis Casey – guitar, vocals; Matt Hensley – accordion, concertina; Nathen Maxwell – bass guitar, vocals; Bob Schmidt – mandolin, banjo and George Schwindt – drums, percussion.

“If there were no violin, accordion or mandolin, this would be punk rock, and if there were no guitars, drums or bass, this would be traditional Irish music,” is how David King describes it. (Taken from http://students.ou.edu and www.wikipedia.org)
