What band did you see last night? (1 Viewer)

[Unicron]

I saw Butterfly Explosion who I enjoyed a great deal. And Subplots, I'd forgotten how much I liked them, when the fire alarm when off I thought it was part of the song.

 

[Flux]

I saw "Home Brew and The Bad Examples" in Skelly's of Ballymahon last night. It was interrupted by impassioned speeches by local Fine Gael councillors. Good fun.

 

[shidheat]

we-hey, i finally got to see the boredoms last night. they were tremendous. they had the stage set up in the middle of the floor (of the filmore) with the three drum kits, multi-necked guitar thing etc. one of the best gigs i've ever seen

Nick Cave at Dublin Castle

Amazing. that was my first time seeing him. great front man- very funny, which I wasn't expecting

Shane McGowan came on and did an impression of a street drunk howling incoherently over some song.

Someone up front did something to piss Nick off- anyone know what that was?

 

[barrypeak]

I saw Lou Reed and Cat Power in Memphis.
Both were excellent and here's a thing...
Day tickets for the event worked out at about 15 Euro!

Yeah, Nick cave was deadly wasn't he? Pity about Shane - more of a 'lifetime achievement' clap than a 'best actor' clap. Jaysus I couldn't make out what he was singing / saying at all.

 

[xsteox]

Missed Grinding halt and Putrafaction 'cos I had to go was deadly up to that point mind.

Just down for saturday night of this, Insuiciety and Mongolia were so good

was that a lou reed plays berlin show job? if so, did he play much vu stuff? thinking of buying a ticket for him in june over here. damn expensive though

 

[rettucs]

can't say. But they were awful. Truly awful.

 

[Unicron]

Was there a guy playing a fretless bass and wearing a wifebeater?

 

[rettucs]

Was there a guy playing a fretless bass and wearing a wifebeater?

yes

and a guy who looked like he could have been waiting tables in some indian restaurant

and a guy who looked like he just came from the gym

and a frontman who can't sing

 

[benni]

I thought it was pretty good actually
Percussion sounded deadly and that bass player's fairly deadly.

 

[Unicron]

Brilliant musicians but I thought it was souless. Was shocked by the amount of people there considering there were 3 other gigs in town last night by touring bands I'd have happily gone to see ordinarily. Shutting up about it now.

 

[rettucs]

other people I spoke to there enjoyed it. For me it just didn't tally with what I'd expected. And I thought the first song was terrible which, I think just put me off for the rest of the gig. 2080 was truly cringeable, particularly when he was trying the higher pitched bits. A handful of songs were passable but my cynicism was through the roof by then.

Great support act though.

Anyway, yeah, enough about it.

 

[pad]

the octopus project were great.

I wondered why there had been no mention of this gig. Right, it was bad? Woulda liked to see them but I had a big barbeque instead and didn't bother. I saw them live on an internets video before - singing didn't seem too bad. But the fashion sense is weird. Sometimes I like them, sometimes I'm fascinated by bizarrely new-agey it is. Their album is patchy tho.

Who supported by the way?

 

[Unicron]

the octopus project were great.

Will be seeing them this weekend. Really looking forward to it.

Coast To Coast: Crayonsmith.

 

[Stan Bowles]

I had no idea who you were talking about, so I looked up 2080. That band were easily the worst thing I saw at ATP. My mate hit the nail on the head, the band were fronted by larry the lamb.

I mean ban this sick filth.
