don't want to drift off topic cos this is one of the best threads i've read on thumped/eirecore yet (since the sligo thread on the main board anyway) but i've uploaded that wat tyler gig here if anyone's interested ... comedy goldCormcolash said:Haha check out the "Alive in Ireland" compilation, think it was released on Active, the Wat Tyler live gig on it is comedy genius and was recorded at this exact incident!
Edit: Just listened to the intro: "Hello, we are disco-groove-cunt-student-shit-fuck, em, not punk, oh no, not punk."
re gigs:
i agree completelySuper Dexta said:*gigs starting at the time they say they'll start
*the donations jar idea - i think €6 is cheap as hell for a gig that has say four bands playing at it, be they touring bands or otherwise.
*not getting rid of flyers and posters.
time:
the only way people are gonna take the gigs actually starting at whatever stated time seriously is through time-tiered pricing though (no bad thing in itself)
money:
it costs more to go to the cinema than an average diy gig (or equivalently, 2 pints cost more than the average gig cover charge) ... i understand some people would be turned off by an 8, 10 quid cover charge though so i'd have no problem throwing some cash in a donation jar if i had it spare
posters:
i only really check posters in record stores but not everyone who goes to gigs reads thumped/eirecore/whatever ... i presume there's at least a few people at most gigs who hear about it through posters or whatever
