HWCH 2008 line up (2 Viewers)

[Moods For Mallards]

For me, this Groom was good and it should win the Working Class Cup. The sound was big, real big. Very good.

Then I stupidly bought another pint and had to finish it quickly whilst some silly band of youngfellas pretended they were the Faces.
I wandered down to Meeting House Sq to get a schedule. Miserable.
Didn't know any of the bands anywhere so I sauntered to Andrew's Lane. My God, it was boring. Some guy with an acoustic guitar, instrumental pieces, loops, etc. Reminded me of the Andean pan-pipe players on Grafton St.
Then an 'art' 2-piece who had clearly not devoted as much time to their music as they had to dressing up nearly put me to sleep, so I left.

Sweet, Rod Stewart!

 

[Unicron]

Sweet, Rod Stewart!

He meant the Hot Sprockets dude, not you. I saw him walk by the entrance while I was eating my burger king late tea while there were on.

But you should totally devote the remainder of your days on this earth to riding models.

that'd be the hot sprockets then

I just inserted into a die-cast Boeing.

I was slightly unfair - it's just not my thing.

Be glad you weren't in Meeting House Square, it's fucking pathethic.

yep. saw about 5 minutes of those super extra bonus party guys there and it was awful, you just couldn't hear a thing, just some lads giving it socks on stage and a low wibble-wobble sound in the the distance.

 

[Reets]

had a fun time in the academy, bands were really good (nice&loud). bit of a pisser it started so early, missed most of the first band.

 

[Sweetie]

Come along tonight to the button factory to see little xs for eyes at 10:30.
(i'm singing, so this is an actual plug)

Le Galaxie are on after us.

[Kermit McDermott]

Really liked the ep. Especially "She'll use your loo"

 

[uncle_meat]

I thought you were really good. Fiachra gave you a bit of an edge.

I'm glad we meet with your approval. I really enjoyed that gig, i did expect everything to go wrong, but luckily it didn't. On stage sound was great, and the stage manager was a very nice fella. good gear too.

 

[Unclealo]

BATS ruled. Little X's for Eyes were well cool. Fight like Apes were also excellent (never seen 'em before and was well impressed).

 

[jcdonaggio]

I don't think I'll bother ever going to a gig at Meeting House Square again. Nice set up but the goddamn sound was so low it was hard to really get into it.

At the same time it was much better last night than on Friday. It was at least loud enough not to completely ruin Bats' and Halves sets when I saw them.

The Vinny Club was fucking outstanding.

Really? I stayed away last night. They must have notched the FOH up so. Oh well.

I found not being able to see the fret markers on my guitar kept me on my toes

The organisational issues are really lamentable, myself and one of grooms many, many, drummers wittnessed the discussion about closing the venue early to let The Academy start their club outside the venue while the first band was already on... why is that conversation taking place at that time?!?!

In saying that the stage manager was clearly under extreme pressure, greatly unhappy about it, but still dead sound.

haha, "kept me on my toes" is a nice way of putting it. I would've personally filled "made me shit myself" into that sentence.

shit > toes

 

[treesurgeon]

Christ...Vinny should be given a sainthood for his services to rock this weekend...Adebisi Shank on Friday in Kilkenny and Vinny Club yesterday...If I was responsible for just one of those sets in my lifetime, I'd hold it well within my rights never to pay for lunch again.

Tonight at Eamonn Dorans at 10.15 if anyone's around.

Little X's for Eyes were great! So were La Galaxie. The Button Factory is such a good venue now, a huge improvement on the oul music centre

 

[sealed human]

I loved We Are The Physics last night, was going to give Meeting Hse Sq a wide berth but once the Scots were moved to ALT I decided to stay and those guys were an unexpected plaisir...

Like a manic cross of Help! She cant swim with Futureheads 4-way singing with good old mental punk edge and yes, they were even funny. Anyone concur?
