thought they were great at atp last week though chums who weren't as close to the stage thought it was only ok

You make it sound like they just found Jebus!

Don't expect any showmanship or interaction with the crowd. All you get is amazing music, a big drum kit and long gaps between songs. That said they were one of my highlights of last weekend. 9/10

Actually Smashing Punkins are back on the scene. They've got a tour planned and everything. They played a couple of new songs and then an Abba cover*









*Abba cover may not have happened.

the short answer is yes. Saw them play Spiderland in Vicar St, which was amazing. As has been said - don't expect any interaction and yes they are too cool to be havin a good time, but they played the album note perfectly.
Dark and Broody; mean and moody.

I thought they were amazing at Vicar Street.
usually i wouldn't be into bands that have no stage presence and play the album note perfect but this had a deadly atmosphere
I think that time they played a few off tweez-defo the 1st song off tweez and the one thats also on that 2 song dealy-bob

i thought they were amazin and i was at the back near the wheelchair ramp.

they were amazing in vicar st. they played better at atp and they had their proper bassist and not the long haired roady guy. but it just wasnt the same as vicar street. so just make sure you see them in the dark. made a HUUUGE difference.
the rest of the set was made up of one song from tweez, one from the e.p, and yes, a new song.
