So I just moved to Ireland... (1 Viewer)

[.B.]

and I think I'm gonna be based in Dublin for a while any way, I'm from New Zealand and on a bit of a working holiday thing.
Anyway I haven't seen hardly any sweet bands since I left home 2 months ago (Except Victims, and they were fuckin rad) and I'm getting sick of my own company!
So whats to do? Where are the best shows and record stores and what bands should I check out. etc?

Here're a few (mostly) Irish bands to listen to, some of them dead and gone

yeah go to the gig in bohs, you will see the states that the foul cunts on this forum get into. other good gigs coming up are inner terrestrials and annihilation time. probably more that i havent heard about because i live under a roc.k

Gigs in the Lower Deck are good except for the nazi who does the sound, watch out he's real nasty.

Carries a nazi dagger...

Been known to use it on saps, without provocation.

Eh, there's no fucking punk record stores left and nowhere sells zines really anymore. For punk records, best bet is at gigs where there's distros...find out about gigs just by lookin here.

What kind of punk are you into?

Welcome to Ireland by a fellow foreigner (even tho i am of the stinky kind) and come to Belfast from time to time. There are some good gigs going on there every so often.
