How was the Galway show last night?

 

[haribo]

Galway was excellent, very very loud. Built to Spill really impressed me, had never seen them live before, the guitar lines are amazing

Dinosaur were without Murph who's sick, but really impressed too. played a good bit of early stuff, Forget the Swan was awesome, so was Little Fury Things, only did 2 from the newest album. ears felt pretty rough after

Who was playing drums?

 

[Goodbye]

NO MURPH!!! ah no, who's filling in on skins so? I want to hear Farm from start to finish!

How many people will echo this tomorrow? Bring earplugs...

 

[Charlie Bucket]

NO MURPH!!! ah no, who's filling in on skins so?

Kyle from Feathers i think. he did a good job!

 

[Stan Bowles]

Stage times anyone??

 

[Unicron]

Stage times anyone??

Saw the dude from HandJobFilms or whatever he's renamed it, who shoots all the gig videos, tweet that BTS at half eight.

 

[Stan Bowles]

Cheers.

Kyle from Feathers i think. he did a good job!

Who's also Kyle from Witch who Mascis drums with, makes sense.

How was the gig tonight, I heard a report that the sound was dodgy?

Edit: it seems it was actually Kyle Spence from Harvey Milk on drums.

Built To Spill, fucking awesome. Dino Jr. were anti climactic. They were on way earlier then I'd been told they'd be

 

[Goodbye]

Jim fixed it for him to play drums aww

I've tried a number of times over the years, but I just don't get Built To Spill.

I thought Dinosaur were great myself, and from where I was standing the sound was fantastic. Feel the Pain was amazing.

I thought the sound was great, even for the 3 BTS songs I saw. Nice to see a "support" and with great sound. Kyle did a great job on the drums, but Dinosaur drums lines are so tightly written that all he had to do was get it right and nobody would notice the difference. A bit more audience interaction would have changed the atmos for the better, the band seemed grumpy. But then you've got to give it to get it back and the crowd, while large, was fucking dead. I was ashamed. Dinosaur - 1 : Dublin - 0

 

[Goodbye]

Deffo the weakest Djr gig I've been to since the reunion. Dunno if it was the no Murph or what, but it seemed to be lacking in atmosphere. Felt like I was trying too hard to enjoy it. The Acadamy show 2(?)years ago was sublime in its amazingness.
But the bits that kicked ass, kicked ass...

great gig but the crowd, bar a few, were totally lame. no atmosphere at all. sound in vicar st is the dogs.

 

[Jill Hives]

Built To Spill, fucking awesome.

Damn, now I wish I went.

what's new, man. it was the exact same at Sonic Youth back in December. you feel like you're in a museum. i understand different people have different ways of enjoying gigs, but gig-goers in Ireland need to wake up a bit. the best gigs i've ever been to have been ones where the crowd and the band have been feeding off each other's energy, where it's a communal thing. but it's a rarity now.

A two thirds full venue full of old folk on a Tuesday night, what were people expecting?

In saying that, lou did have ladies underwear thrown at him.

the night of the week shouldn't matter. good god.
