Boiled in Lead Tickets

Evolving in Minneapolis, Minnesota as the British Punk scene was also coming alive with Celtic/Punk hybrids, Boiled in Lead developed a style all its own. Focusing more on the Folk side of things than bands like the Pogues, Waterboys, and the later-formed Young Dubliners, Boiled in Lead managed to keep their Celtic and Folk roots while incorporating the energy and attitude of the modern Punk scene.

Self-released album BOiLeD iN lEaD was the first record released by Boiled in Lead. The album contained many traditional Irish songs updated with some Punk influence, but the traditional core remained intact. Follow-up Hotheads went away from the traditional Celtic sound a bit and embraced a more varied vocal and instrumental range. Boiled in Lead would eventually combine both albums into the LP Old Lead.

Boiled in Lead later released concept album Songs of the Gypsy which was a soundtrack of sorts for the novel The Gypsy. Boiled in Lead kept up a mild touring schedule but always packed their shows with fans from many musical genres. The experimentation with Punk and electric instruments with traditional Celtic instruments and vocals kept on producing fan and critic favorites like Alloy.

Since Boiled in Lead helped bring Celtic Folk and Punk to the United States many bands like the Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, and Black 47 have risen to popularity with variations on the same style. The same could be said for the success of Gypsy Punk bands like Gogol Bordello. With a growing fanbase of Leadheads celebrating over 20 years of Boiled in Lead music, BiL concerts are always a lively and vibrant event.
