thats a damn shame...what is it with cork and punk rock attendances??

they were awesome in dublin as usual

poor crowd, but that is down to the fact that punk rock people won't go to the academy anymore i reckon....will be bringing them over to play with us in the new year hopefully

I'd say there's only about 10 of us around anymore, and half of us were busy...

ya to say the punk scene here is shite is a drastic understatement!

 

[tebbles]

i find Cork to be the most enjoyable place to play in ireland, people are deadly and always a great crowd

It might help if we got some decent FOH engineers at gigs - my wife was blown away by the sound at the gig we played up in galway last week, she reckoned we'd never sounded better. She's used to hearing us in Fredz where the guy for some reason drowns everything in reverb and sucks out all the low end...
I'd swear in the Pucan Dan just gave me a mic, and maybe had one in the kick, but that was it - no half hour sound check or nothin, just plug in and play, and it sounded great
Also, there's absolutely no need to be miking up guitar cabs in Fredz, especially with 100W heads on stage. The room is too small to need it.

The Cruiscin Lawn is a completly soul destroying venue. Oi Polloi were pretty cool there but every other time i've seen a band play there it's put me off.

 

[MikeReins]

What would metal gig attendance be like down there?

 

[CITY BABY]

went ta bolt thrower there it was jammers, sound wasnt great though

ya, it's a bit Cork Rock City at times there.

Fair bit of 'alternative/indie/instrumental' kinda thing going on too...

Sonic Boom Six probably didn't get good attendances because they're actually bollocks like. I went and saw them in Belfast, and they are crap really.

Not the best either judging by the last couple of gigs I was at there

went ta bolt thrower there it was jammers, sound wasnt great though

They changed the PA down there a bit after that, Napalm Death was amazingly bollox in there, I didnt go there for 18 months after that but the re vamped PA has made the sound a lot better in there

yep that about sums it up,saw them in the voodoo andwondered what all the fuss was about!!!

 

[Tony Ramone]

what was the average age of the crowd? about 15/16, adolescent boys perhaps? that might be a pretty easy equation to figure out...

Id agree with that 100%. They were rubbish in Galway too. Some poeple loved them though.

Bacchus played in Cork twice & both times had good crowds & atmosphere.

 

[Tony Ramone]

Awesome music = good crowd

So the fact that they were crap didn't stop you going? !ninjaaaa

 

[Cormcolash]

I wanted to make sure in this case, and stare at the singer for a bit

 

[D0njo]

More of the former or the latter?
