They continued a routine of playing every Monday night at Molly Malone’s. They put out a live album, Alive Behind the Green Door , in 1997. In an interview with Kerrang! magazine, King stated that the band’s name comes from the bar (Molly Malone’s) that faithfully supported the band from the very beginning, “We used to play there every Monday night and we felt like we were flogging it to death, so we called the band Flogging Molly.” They were signed to SideOneDummy Records after a show when the record company’s owners attended a concert and noted their intensity.
