Nov. 1

The Gobshites is a great name for a Celtic punk band and Shred, local music director for WBCN and new booker for the new-ish Bulfinch Yacht Club (near the Garden, next to Hooters) describes the Boston group as a band which plays "Guinness-inspired Celtic rock with a punk-ass twist that gives your pants and pints a kick." The Gobshites call their music "acousticelticore." (Nice.) You might just hear a few Pogues covers in their sets. Tribute was recently paid to the Gobshites as the Dictators and Tommy Ramone sang "Blitzkrieg Pop" to close the Dictators last show at the CBGB's last stand. Long-haired and sunglassed Tommy was sporting a Gobshites t-shirt. Starts about 9:45, Wednesday Nov. 1, right after the Celtics home opener. The next night,the Zambonis - North America's favorite all hockey band - are at the Bulfinch, following the Bruins game. Covers: $6.
