«Obviously I love the city of Boston, I just filmed my new show ‘Black Souls’ there, so I’m going to throw a St. Patrick’s Day party with House of Pain at the Roxy Boston,» said White. «House of Pain was one of my favorite bands when I lived there, and they are going to perform again for the first time in over a decade – I’m opening up a few hundred tickets to UFC Fight Club members and for local radio stations, so UFC fans in Boston can come hang with us on March 17th.»
The band «House of Pain» featuring lead singer Everlast, will rock the party, performing together for the first time since their breakup in 1996. White, who just wrapped production on a new television drama «Black Souls,» filmed entirely in Boston, will serve as host. Doors will open at 7:00pm ET and the party will start at 8:00pm ET. House of Pain will perform later on in the evening.
«I’m excited about this party, Dana is one of the few people who could get me to do something again with House of Pain,» said Everlast. «We’re like the Santa Claus of St. Paddy’s Day, and Boston is our North Pole, so we’re coming home to deliver the goods – we’re gonna play a lot of the old House of Pain stuff, some Everlast, and some other surprises. It’s been about 13 years since House of Pain played together, so this is gonna be a lot of fun for all of us.»
