Lucic’s Boston Punk rock connections
Boston punk band Street Dogs played a small acoustic show at the Newbury Comics on the AutoMile. this past September. The frontman for the band is Mike McCoglan formerly of the Dropkick Murphys.
I wanted to wear my #17 t shirt to the show, so I dragged it out of the hamper. As I am waiting for the show to start, I feel someone tap me on the shoulder and say “Nice shirt, he’s the best player on the team.” Wanting to agree, I turn around and I see Mike walking past me to the stage! Knowing the band would be signing autographs after the show, I immediately thought to have Mike sign the shirt.
After the show (which was wicked good), I got in line to get an autograph. Mike signed the t shirt in addition to signing a poster with “To Nick, go Black and Gold!”. Toby Bean, lead guitarist, was sitting next to him, and asked me what player it was. When I told him who it was, he told me he had a story.
Toby was with Lenny Lashley of Darkbuster one night. He got a call from Scruffy Wallace, current bagpiper of the Dropkick Murphys telling him to save room for him and two of his friends. Well, Scruffy shows up and guess who one of his friends is? None other than Luch himself.
Longwinded story, but this kid is getting some high profile support here in Boston.
