Gigs you're embarrassed about (2 Viewers)

[Super Dexta]

Scissor Sisters in Belfast, a couple of days after the Indian Ocean tsunami. There was a spare ticket going.

Support came from Mylo and some local New York Dolls-y bunch.

Near the start yer wan made a speech about how, as a New York band, they felt a kinship with the people of Belfast - terrorism etc etc. 3000-ish dead etc etc.

There was a song dedicated to "anyone who had to work in retail this Christmas - we've been there. We got out of that thanks to YOU."

They kept banging on about oral sex for some reason. "Hey, Aer Lingus - hahaha." "A word of advice: perform oral sex"

A lull came when they dedicated their only vaguely sombre song to the victims of the tsunami. Then it was straight back to the bacchanalian carnality: "COS YOUR FILTHY!" Seamless.

In the queue outside beforehand there was some old guy handing out religious calenders illustrated with lambs and suchlike.

SAVE ULSTER FROM SODOMY.


edit: fuck it, that was a great night out

I saw the Scissor Sisters about this time last year in New York. I hated them before I saw them but they were deadly and now I don't hate them.

I am very unembarrassable when it comes to music.

I'm embarrassed about plenty of gigs Ive played, but none I've been at.

I agree with this.

Deacon Blue were alright.

Me and Damo of Mongolia fame went to Papa Roach on the Point because I got free tickets that were being handed out at Central Bank, we moshed our socks off, also the drummer from Slipknot's band was playing. That wasn't embarrassing though, one gig that was though, was this American guy that did "Heavy Metal Spoken-Word" in Boh's. That was excruciating. I actually though I was going mad from the agony of it.
