8. And technically, the band's singer is Irish, though the group formed in LA...
so I don't count it as an "Irish" band.

It seems almost every big city has its American Celtic Band, though.
LA = Flogging Molly
NYC = Black 47
Boston = Dropkick Murphys
Chicago = The Tossers

And on and on...

9. Flogging Molly is my pick as well.
It is hard to believe that the singer was in Fastway a lifetime ago.

Well, that's cheating. They're more world music, I guess. But their Irish stuff is on fucking fire.
