The Mahones

A long time ago when the earth was green, The Mahones, Canada's favorite and original Irish Punk rockers formed at the end of the bar at a legendary Irish Pub in Kingston, (Ontario, Canada), over hundreds of pints of Guinness Irish Stout, and shots of Jamesons Irish Whiskey. It was the brilliant idea of Dublin-born Finny McConnell to put together a band that sounded like The Clash, The Pogues, The Who, The Dubliners and The Replacements with a dash of Social Distortion, and with a name that rhymed with The Ramones. Once this Irish rock and roll stew was complete, and with the band motto "Give it all you've got, or forget about it" (Joe Strummer), a one off gig was booked on March 17th, St. Patrick's Day. Go figure. The world has never been the same!

Now with two new CDs "The Black Irish Album" and "Whiskey Devils - A Tribute To The Mahones" coming out in early 2011, THE MAHONES are planning yet another world tour. See you soon!
