An unusual night in Dublin... (1 Viewer)

[Alex]

Well I know I'm going to be insulted, called a knacker, hippie or whatever but I'll post this anyway

So, last night I was walking through Temple Bar with me burd wondering where we could have gone for a couple of pints when we heard some suspect Jamaican vibes coming from Mezzanine... totally puzzled (you know, reggae in Dublin?!?) we got into the place and found out that Irish reggae band (one and only I guess ) King Sativa play a free gig there every Wednesday and they kick fucking ass!!!

They played some original material and a few covers. I was very impressed, especially for some *sweet* dub bits...

That's excellent stuff I highly recommend to whom (like me) enjoys this kind of shit........ and who doesn't please shut the fuck up!

I saw them in Da2 a couple of weeks ago and thought they were really good (FOR WHAT THEY DO). Very accomplished n' all that. I liked the songs where they seemed to be playing more their own stuff rather than writing to a Bob Marley blueprint, which happened quite a bit.

 

[silo]

they also have an alter-ego as a bob marley covers band, i think.

From time to time the riony symbol has been misused as a tongue in cheek symbol.

Am I right in thinking the mezzanine place is opposite the IFC? I hear jazz coming from it every now and then, but the crowd seemed more full of lager- than music-lovers. But that's just from peeking in at the door.

Yeah that's the place and the crowd last night was very involved. Actually it's the first time I see people dancing at a gig in Ireland

King Sativa do play a Bob Marley tribute as "Catch a Fire" and they're excellent (saw them at mono a while ago),

Pad, fuck off you bleeding indie kid!

..didn't they win the hieniken best band in dublin award or whatever a few years ago? Never heard of them again until now. Is it just me or is it the kiss of death to win one of those things..

 

[cassette/tape]

It's Danger Doyle's after the carpenters (no, not richard and karen) have been. They've put in a 4-inch high stage, and are attracting the tourist folk with jazz. And reggae by all accounts.

And no, Alex, the "tourist" was not a dig.
