"The Gobsh*tes are a gifted bunch of merrymakers, who will put a smile on your face and make you want to sing along."

The Gobsh*tes live are a churning martini of Good songs and Bad intentions.

THE GOBsh*tES TAKE IRISH MUSIC AND GIVE IT A FIRM TWIST!
In The "tradition" of The Pogues, Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly, The
Gobsh*tes might turn an old Irish standard into a rock and roll rave
up...
but turnabout being fair play, The Gobsh*tes turn the tables and
transform old punk rock songs like Black Flag's "Six Pack" or the
Ramones "Long Way Back" into Irish sing-alongs!
