MEAT BEAT MANIFESTO - TONIGHT! (1 Viewer)

[PUSH PROMOTION]

Howdi,

Just a reminder that MEAT BEAT MANIFESTO are playing tonight in the Music Centre with Keith Downey and Sean Quinn in support.

Ben Stokes from DHS and MBM will be doing visuals - with some live scratch video mixing - it's a very impressive show!

Expect to hear some of the great MBM tunes - God OD, Radio Babylon, Acid Again, Mindstream (Orbital did a cover of this called Remind), Psyche Out, Edge of No Control...

It's their first time playing Ireland in their twenty year history!

This was actually pretty all right. I've never been a huge MBM fan, but I liked them enough to check this out. The music was good, and the visuals were generally great (if occasionally a bit clichéed).

Dismal turnout, though. I'd say that there were at most 30 people there. But Dangers and Stokes still played for over two hours (including an encore) despite this -- fair play to 'em.

It's their first time playing Ireland in their twenty year history!

Given the size of the audience, it's probably also their last...

Was the same at the last 2 push promotion events I went too (Boom Bip and Beans). Maybe the promotion isn't being pushed enough? Not wanting to piss on anyones parade, I'm sure a lot of organisation and effort went into these gigs, but it seems a bit strange that they seem to be so poorly attended.

But then again maybe no one gives a shit about Boom Bip/Beans/MBM in Dublin.

Shame on you if you didn't make it down,you missed an amazing audio/visual experience!

Cheers,Keith Downey

Yeah I guess so. Just commenting that this thing has happened before at push promotion events, maybe they need to address the way they promote, put on gigs in smaller venues etc. I want push promotions to do well as they put on bands I like, but something seems to be wrong.

But then again maybe people in Dublin are pricks.

There was practically no promotion apart from the odd poster up here and there done for it, as far as I can see.

He's also doing Four Tet/Kid Koala, I hear tickets are flying out the door for that one.

i think it's the dublin crowd ... i saw press ads for the show and plenty of posters ... plus i haven't seen a four tet poster and i've heard too that that's selling really well ... i suppose it depends on where you get your gig info from too whether something seems to be promoted or not
