Cold play are in Amsterdam. Played a big gig last night. If I see them I’ll tell them they’re not welcome in dublin.

Heard the current Misfits are fucking shite

The Misfits broke up in 1983

Oxbow’s latest tour is skipping Ireland. I had a ticket to see them in Whelan’s, must have been 20 years ago now, but I bottled it. What can I say? I felt intimidated by the entire aura of Eugene Robinson. Now we’d probably chat about what a shithead a certain Irish MMA prick is.

Never knew they played here nor that they were still going.

I always found them interesting on paper but the couple of albums I tried didn’t do much for me. Any you’d recommend?

You could do worse than their live collab with Peter Brötzmann that came out last year, it’s called An Eternal Reminder of Not Today.

You had me at Brötzmann.

Honestly, that gig was super intense. Your instincts weren't wrong. You just unlocked a vivid memory for me there.

Sloan have never played Ireland despite many tours.

That would be a great one.

As for Salon above, I have seen them live 20+ times easily but not since 2005. Dudes need to travel across the ocean!

I love Sloan but have a weird relationship with them. 50/50 totally amazing, total crap.
One summer I was in Toronto and Sloan were doing a special Murder Records. I was all excited to finally see Sloan. It was a gig with a load of the bands they signed to Murder Records in the early days then Sloan came out and just played their very first ep they put out on Murder Records. Unfortunately this was the "total crap" side of the band. Plus it was jammers, the crowd was rude and the sound was abysmal. It was an overfamiliar pally pally night. Not a proper gig in any sense. God I'd love a proper gig.

I was at that show and kind of a weedy chap in my early 20s...I was a little bit scared but ultimately my curiosity won out...the band are just insane, and of course he did sort of wrestle some chap to the ground. But it felt a little strained...the wrestling....it wasn't New Jack beating Gypsy Joe like he owed him money... The place was not that full, and the front of the stage was completely bare. The response was very timid...they probably just wrote Ireland off after that.


I then saw Eugene Robinson in Bunuel at Supersonic last year. After the first song,the audience are whooping totally enthralled with the Eugene experience. He screams thank you in a squeaky, high-pitched voice and you're in love with this guy...

Especially when he striped down to just these incredible underpants.

Anyway, there's a lot more levity about him than I initially perceived.

I'll be seeing Oxbow at Supersonic this year. Oh yeah, I saw Oxbow at Supersonic 08...there was a lot of reverence, kind of the opposite of the Whelans show...Eugene definitely feeds off big audience love.
