HWCH 2009 (Who you looking forward to seeing?) (1 Viewer)

[istink]

Went to HWCH last year and saw about 50 bands. 99% were dross. Don't imagine it'll be any different this year. Think they'll still give me a job ?

Well I stand corrected. Unless it's some mad reverse psychology marketing.

This thread is like an amazing noir movie. You're all going after istink while the real villain, stoned rose sits in the shadows sniggering, stroking his HWCH branded siamese cat

Sorry, I meant really amazing noir movie

I'm really looking forward to seeing Jogging at this.
About time they played a gig in this town

 

[lympog]

I was under the impression this had pretty much the same line-up every year is this true? At least they've dropped the Sonicbids bollocks

F.Y.I. - half the bands aren't even working class at this

YOU'RE NICE

I'm sure it's a great festival and all, but you'd think they'd bring their marketing up to the 21st century. How annoying are fake accounts.

Yeah, cormcolash is a great fake account with 10,000+ posts. And why did you censor the word wank from his post? Wank. Wank, wank, wank.

I was saying to cormcolash about istink. Turns out I was wrong about istink, even though he/she only posts about the hwch festival. Where I work they don't allow me to post swear words. The wankers.

How the fuck did this lot got in? Surely you should at least play 3 gigs before you get to play this silly "festival"

The music is definitely good enough to get into HWCH.

 

[Flux]

^^ Sergeant Megaphone are actually really fuckin good. Can't stop playing "Sci-Fi Land". Must catch them at some stage.

 

[VegetativeState]

Saw Not Squares last night and they were the business. Or the bizness, whichever. Savage band, I've seen them a couple of times at this stage and they're always pretty class.

 

[Cormcolash]

Seriously like, that festival is a joke.
Call it the fucking "Hard Middle-to-Upper Class White Kids Music Careers Wannabes" festival and I won't complain.

 

[Daniel]

Anyone know if you have to buy a weekend ticket or can you just pay in to a particular gig?

Where do you think you live? The south side of Chicago? Johannesburg? Where are all the (solidly working class) black kids who should be playing at Ireland's festivals? Have you checked a recent census?
Should all festivals be punk festivals? But only for black punks? Or particularly working class punks?

And the (admittedly very, very poor) name of the festival is obviously meant to indicate that the acts involved are "hard working" rather than "hard, working class". And why would it bother you anyway?

I'm not passionate about HWCH or anything, it is what it is. I wouldn't usually jump in to defend it but this is rank stupidity.
