In related news, Mike McColgan, the former singer for the Dropkicks, has a new band called Street Dogs. They have been recieving an unbelievable amount of Hype. Anyways, Ken Casey will be producing this joint so check it out. Also, the Street dogs had cereal and juice for breakfast this morning rather than their usual grand slam breakfasts at Denny's.
