Pillow Queens (1 Viewer)

[Lili Marlene]

Pillow Queens, Kneecap, Aoife Nessa Frances and PowPig are all my bag. There's an awful lot of well-produced stuff coming out of Ireland that does nothing for me but has a fairly big following. Yer Kojaque's and Jafaris and Adam Garrett etc.

I'd say follow Dean's columns in the Dublin Inquirer if you want to keep up with a lot of this stuff

Pillow Queens? I can't see what people see in them. Must give them another shot

 

[Lili Marlene]

I like what I like

 

[sleepy]

I like them too. Haven't listened to them in a while.

Haven't listened to Lankum. What's put me off is that my brother was telling me that the old starts off with an amazing 7 minute long droney version of the Wild Rover and I have to admit that description's killed off any enthusiasm for checking it out.

Glimmermen are still the best in the irish bizness for me.

Really like their songs/melodies/catchiness

i just can’t be dealing with that affected oirish accent. It’s just a little too much for me.

 

[Lili Marlene]

Ah now, it's not an affectation when you're literally from Donaghmede. They're not Fontaines DC.

 

[Anthony]

Pillow Queens, I'm pretty sure I listened to them before. oh well I'm gonna do it now, BRB.

 

[Anthony]

I thought they were a rocking band, that may have been Bitch Magnet. Anyway, Pillow Queens, grand, not for me though.

edit: falcon

 

[ann post]

Bitch Magnet is the best 'you know you are getting old' word messup/substitution this thread will possible ever see.

 

[GO]

I just listened to their song Brothers. Excellent and highly original but not for me either

 

[ann post]

Rats is their best tune by a mile. Seen them live i think twice now - the live / record transfer isn't totally there yet.

 

[Lili Marlene]

Yeah, Rats is where it's at. and probably Raging as well.

Basically the stronger the accent the better the song.

 

[Anthony]

Wait who is Rats by, Bitch Falcon, Bitch Magnet or Pillow Queens?

 

[ann post]

Pillow Falcons?

Rats is by pillow queens.

 

[Anthony]

listening now

 

[Lili Marlene]

Anyone who doesn't like it is a southsider.

 

[Anthony]

Sound drum sound. The singing style didn't bother me at all in Rats.

 

[Bernie Lomax]

I preferred this one. Nice video too. Simple but effective.
