The Dreadnoughts are Vancouver's biggest, baddest, drunkest, punkest celtic band. One part roaring sea shanty, one part haunting Irish melody, and a solid chaser of gut-crunching street punk.
The Dreadnoughts: One part roaring sea shanty, one part haunting Irish melody, and a solid chaser of gut-crunching street punk. This ragtag group of drunken misfits stays true to the ancient ballads and bawlers that once drove sailors around the world, all the while smashing out modern punk with a fury and intensity that is unmatched in their home city of Vancouver, BC.
Formed in 2006 over pints of cheap beer at East Vancouver’s notoriously violent Ivanhoe Hotel, the Dreadnoughts cut their teeth in the roughest dive bars in the city. They started by opening for (and earning the praise of) celtic-punk grandfathers The Real MacKenzies, and since then have never looked back. Hauling a fiddle, an accordion, a mandolin, a tin whistle, guitars and drums into every venue that would have them, they quickly became known for their powerful, chaotic live performances. In three short years they have slowly but surely joined the ranks of Vancouver’s punk rock heroes.
Their new album, "Victory Square", represents The Dreadnoughts as they mature into a truly powerful and original band. Following on the heels of its release in May 2009, the band is launching a much-anticipated tour through North America and Europe, bringing their energetic, punk-rock live show with them. Catch them soon, and witness a group of young punks who nonetheless possess "all the confidence, muscle, and production of a seasoned outfit in the prime of their career.” (shitenonions.com)
You boyz were right fricking awesome last evening in Peterborough!! That was some of the best fun I've had at a concert in awhile. It was great talking to you about Chi-Pig, the exploits of the lower east side of Van and even some talk of religions after. I've been listening to your CD's none stop today! Cheers lads! -Troy
