Foggy Notions Presents...DEERHUNTER, Whelan's, Aug 23 (1 Viewer)

[Richie]

Headed along at the last minute after initially deciding I'd give them a miss this time.. Very solid show and dependably ear-blasting but I thought the crowd were fairly subdued and standoffish, even for a Sunday night.. Bradford seemed a bit disappointed that people weren't responding all that much to his banter. Big emphasis on the Weird Era \ Microcastle stuff, I was surprised they only did one song off the new EP.

Really, really enjoyed this - didn't so much enjoy the tantrum at the end tho, but hey. People were a bit subdued but not 'cos the gig was shit, as there was no way you could say it was...it was a Sunday night, go figure. Better than people talking the whole way through the gig anyway, I reckon. But I can understand that he may have thought people just weren't feeling it.

i didnt get the whole tantrum when he did his 'interpretive drumming' thing.
what did he expect us to do? i felt that almost ruined whatever buzz was there.
was delighted he lightened up a bit after that during the 'band introduction'.

I wasn't at this. But I was at the last one in ALT a few weeks back. And that night the banter was awkward as hell. All about dead babies.

It was kind odd behaviour alright. Dunno if he was just in bad form, or just a really strange mood. He seemed to keep extending any jam parts of the set. The bassist looked at him a few times during the gig, especially during Nothing Ever Happened, as if to say "get on with it". Personally I love when they do their extended droney bits so I didn't mind

I just listened to them for the first time ever this afternoon. They're great. I should listened to them yesterday instead and then I would have gone. I hate that.

this gig was sublime. sound was perfect.

cheers foggy for bringing em back.

agree with g, really enjoyed it. The best sound at a Dublin show i've been to in a long, long time. Then I'd never seen them before and amn't a huge fan so had no expectations. Sorry I didn't get to chat with you two afterwards, I was babysitting a drunkard!
