venetian snares

in Ireland?

 

[Stan Bowles]

in Ireland?

Yep, they played the music centre, though I thought it was kinda boring. Ones that spring to mind are Hot Snakes, Slayer, Kraftwerk at EP, Kool Keith, Melvins, Mudhoney, New Order at Brixton....well thats two more than I need already, and I'm sure I've forgotten loads, oh well.

Oh and Sunno))) was last year people.

 

[Dktr. Faustus]

in Ireland?

yeh, as stan already pointed out.

was in no way boring. aaron bashing out in his misfits-shirt, drinking bottles of beer in two sips and moshing away. getting some extra time to play and jumping sweating into the audience hugging people and asking for a party. the place smelled of sweat and piss. instead, mjuziq who supported snares was really boring

 

[Stan Bowles]

See I thought Mu-Ziq was great, built the set up really well. And all I saw was Aaron Funk playing CDr's which I thought was a real let down. If we all agreed the world would be a very boring place eh Jakko?

 

[Unclealo]

Slayer at the Ambassador
Melvins at the Village

Ballroom wise: Josh Pearson, Jape, the whole Part Chimp/Boxes/Lafaro/Inches gig, the Betamax/Trails/Queen Kong gig

Can't think of anything else

 

[RSJ]

DJ format and de la soul at the picnic
Dillinger Four and Latterman in florida
Wedding present and betamax in cuba (galway)
Any and every ghostwood gig
The two kerbdog gigs in the roisin

 

[Brush]

Sunn O))) cant remember if that was this year or not.

That was last year, but I doubt time as we know it exists in the world of pure HTML and Guitar Solos.

This years Planned Skangerfest at Slane getting cancelled was the gig related highlight of the year for me.

yeh, Aaron definitely played at least cd's...but 'cause i couldn't see the setup and what else he was playing with (drum machine, eh?) i ignored that and the music was just fantastic, some clips of some of his discography but mashed into a frantic and noisy set...usually stuff that spastic and fast become just fast with no idea into it whatsoever, but this definitely had a thing that kept the set together.

yeah, it would be a boring place, not being able to laugh at all the people who are wrong HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAH .|..|
