Napalm Death are playing in Waterford (4 Viewers)

Saturday Aug 29th, Low End Festival, The Forum, Waterford.

I can't even begin to explain how mindblowing this is to me.

 

[Anarcho Munk]

See yis there.

 

[Tony Ramone]

Are you fucking serious?!?! That's insane.
Everyone in Waterford better prepare for an invasion...

 

[cesspooldublin]

eh..we're playing the Friday night of it by the way. Come down for that too.

Seriously though, ND were hugely responsible for my involvement in playing music, so the prospect of them playing my shitty home town is miraculous in a way I can't fully explain.

 

[Tony Ramone]

hehe, sorry - didn't read the first post properly, so I didn't catch that it's a festival. Cool. Any links to the whole event, or is it not fully sorted yet?

 

[Anarcho Munk]

Ahh...ye're playing the festival?
Do you know of any other bands etc playing?
I can't seem to find anything about it on the web.

This should be great though, I was looking for something
to do for the end of August. This will do nicely.

 

[cesspooldublin]

It's a Metal festival. We're the token hardcore(ish) band. the rest of ths line up is all Irish bands bar Onslaught and Spearhead..off the top of my head, Two Tales of Woe, Red Enemy, Sirocco, Orpheus, Five Will Die, Stand Up Guy, a bunch of bands like that who I'm not overly familiar with myself. We stick out like a sore thumb I imagine.

An aside perhaps , but because ND were my favourite bands as a kid, my family know who they are. Which means when I tell me ma we're playing a festival in Waterford which Napalm Death are playing she'll for possibly the first time ever be in some way "proud" of my musical endeavours

The Forum, THE FORUM?? Aahahahahahahahaha oh jesus. What the fuck? THE FORUM?? I wonder how this fest will go down with the current crowd. (It's currently the Whelans of Waterford in case anyone is wondering)

 

[cesspooldublin]

Probably better than you expect.

 

[Gambra]

All the people I know that go to the Forum are all indie heads. People who would be more into MGMT or something than Napalm Death. Granted I don't know a tonne of people from Waterford but the ones I do know would be far from ND heads!

 

[cesspooldublin]

All that says is that you know a bunch of indie heads in Waterford really. from what I understand from friends and family down there apparently there's quite a lot of metal fans down there. Plus I imagine you'd have plenty of folks travelling for it from Cork, Kilkennny, Wexford, etc.

 

[rotten tropics]

haha deadly.
second day of this doesn't look bad at all.
dunno bout night we're playing though,not mad on few the bands but maybe the ones i havent heard are daycent.
can't wait to do a big of bog moshing with the bog metalists.

 

[ian bastardcore]

napalm death?! the forum?! wow.

 

[cesspooldublin]

I'm gonna drag Shane Embury and Mitch Harris to Downes' for a pint. This is my new mission in life.
Seriously.

 

[i am 138]

haha, Downes: the greatest pub in the world, OFFICIAL. I saw mani from the stone roses in there one night caning the no 7, cant imagine johnny downes being much of a napalm fan

 

[cesspooldublin]

haha, Downes: the greatest pub in the world, OFFICIAL. an

Yep. OFFICIALLY the only thing I miss about Waterford.This fest is going to be an excuse for me to spend the weekend there. My kid bro used to be a barman there breifely. Cheekily, not once did the little cunt ever float me a free pint.

 

[i am 138]

I think we should tell anyone headin to this that downes is the OFFICIAL ground zero drinkin spot for this fest, sure its only 30 secs from the forum anyway

Seriously.

great bar

 

[Decy]

It's about a half an hour drive away from me, so it'd be rude not to go.

It is mad that ND are playing Waterford, Especially since pretty much every gig I've been to in Waterford as been fairly shit.
