[bohs punks]

saw them in glasgow last night,

expect the greatest hits, i think the set list was chosen by fans on the internet or something,

anyway the band are well into it so the atmosphere was great, if you know the songs you will love it, if your new to the songs the set will probably seem disjointed. a good night out though.

 

[bohs punks]

just as a matter of interest admission in glasgow was 9 sterling, venue had about 450 capacity id say and was stuffed.

 

[Jim A. Morrish]

probably not of interest to most folk here but I've just been told the first 80 or so in to the gig are getting a free 14 track sampler featuring Icarus Line, Brendan Benson, Datsuns, Dogs die in hot cars, elbow, my red cell, powderfinger and others

Icarus line....mmmmm

mr bandicoot tells me the parcel has yet to arrive through the u.k. post so those sampler cd's won't be given out today but will at some future show ir and when they do arrive.

It was fuckin excellent. Its in my top 5 of Whelans gigs, not that I have one (in a HIgh Fidelity kinda way.)

The Boxes were class, managed to cadge a cd of the singer at the end. Melodic grungey sorta stuff.

NMN were class, played just under 2 hours. Cant remember the setlist but included The River,bodybag,theresa and gods knows what else. Thinkin cos poxegen was on it would be dead but the place was totally jammers. Loads of 'kids' moshing and just loads of rockin.

Rumours it may be the last dublin gig, maybe someone heard more.

Grandad rock roolz.

Paddy Casey played a gig later too but didnt spoil the night that much, even if he playd more covers than a covers band(Hey Ya,Mexico)

 

[Jim A. Morrish]

just back from the cork show, t'was excellent also.

They played nearly two hours and encored with 'here comes the summer', rags n bones sounded great as did the entire set, in fact I'd go so far as to say it was the best sounding gig i've ever been at in the Half Moon, so kudos to both nmn and their sound engineer.

A fantastic show, the best rock gig I've been to since The Ex played in Whelan's in December (also a U:Mack promotion. Hmm...), and one of my top shows, of any genre, so far this year.

I can add a bit to the setlist: "Two Lips, Two Lungs and One Tongue", "It's Catching Up", "The End of All Things" and one of my all-time favourite songs *ever*, "Rags and Bones".

The crowd was also brilliant--I was up in the mosh pit for a good chunk of the gig, and there happily were none of those lunkheaded cunts who get off on smashing into people. Instead, everyone just careened happily off one another, smilling giddily all the while.

As for them not coming back, well, I've heard from more than one source (including a few pretty reliable ones) that NMN will be calling it quits pretty soon, as they've been at it for over two decades with little-to-no commercial success. That's too bad--although I've now caught them seven times, some friends I was with had never seen them before and were blown away, so it would be a pity if they'd never get the chance to see them play again.

Still, what a way to go out. Nerdpunk at its best.

i'm pretty sure i heard rob wright mumble something about coming back to play for a tenth time?
i really hope they do, although they deserve a good long rest.

I love the graffiti on their people's choice album :

How fukin old are nomeansno anyway? give it up grandads !
that's great grandad to you fucker !- john wright
