"judas"

me at a swell season gig last winter.

 

[Mormon Nailer]

Its me and Ben Richards dream to go to gigs for small bands with black bomber jackets, thick yellow lettering on the back A&R (much like FBI jackets) notepads in hand, and leerat said band from the front of the stage shaking our heads and looking disappointed. Occasionally taking notes.

There was an old episode of This American Life where a gang of guys arranged to learn all the songs off myspace for some crappy band and turned up at one of their gigs pretending to be superfans. The band were expecting to play in front of 4 people and next thing there is 40 people in homemade t-shirts screaming along to the lyrics and waving their fists in the air.

Very cruel.

Lee Ranaldo performing a Text Of Light gig in the amphitheatre at Primavera 2005. There were only about 30 people in the place, in the front two rows.

Dude: "I really dig your band!"
Lee Ranaldo: "Thanks man"
Dude: "No - your other band"

That's weird. Something exactly similar happened to us at Electric Picnic. Now I get it ....

One for the Swords / Fingal folk I heard from friends...

School of Seven bells in Whelans:

One of the impossibly sexy/cool sisters says: 'So we're staying in Swords near the airport, we hung out there last night'

From the back in a Dublin accent: 'Did yiz go te Velvet?!!'

At Nick Cave's Q&A book reading thing in Vicar Street people were invited to ask questions or request songs. Some guy shouted "Do You Love Me? (pauses for a few seconds) That's not a request, that's my question"

Damien Dempsey in the NCH "I was born not too far from here in the Coombe" Immediately some guy shouts up "Southsider"

the begrudgers to any band on any occasion: "play some skaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!"
before they all turned into hipsters.

 

[Carlow Punks!]

Melt Banana in TBMC a few years back

Lead singer: Our latest album is for sale at the merchandise table

Local Wag (Very Loud, in cod-asian accent): Ten Dollar!!

 

[Kid Lovebeach]

dude from Akron/Family: so how many of you guys were at our Belfast show last night?

Bernie Lomax: seven!

 

[mel gibson]

that Nick Cave Q&A was a clusterfuck!

nick had an "erotic dancer" silhouette projected onto the backdrop

during the Q&A...

Bint in the audience: "that's very sexist"

Nick: "fucking Irish!"

Audience: "she's fucking Australian!!"

Classic

at a Weller gig a few years back 'taxi for Paul Weller' in between every song..

[lympog]

some drunk fart heckled me in galway once:

drunk tit: you can't sing
me: you can't hold your drink, now fuck off
​

she left...
anyone who has ever seen me live will tell that she was technically correct though - i'm an abysmal singer

as good a place as any for this

love the audience member at the end proclaiming "that was unnecessary" - quite a wallop though...

 

[washingcattle]

at a gig my old band played

Promoter: You're shit.
Me: You booked us.

 

[Unicron]

Not really a heckle but the first time Broken Social Scene played Ireland was in the Music center and Kevin Drew declared taht his family were there tonight, and that they were from Cork. The place eruputed in boos.
