..seem to be playing Limerick next saturday.

In the Dadhgha Space, St. John's Church.

They're deadly. Saw them last time in that Bank of Ireland gaff. Annoyingly creaky chairs almost drove me bananas though.

I found myself nearly passing out with boredom, think I left after the first half of that bank of ireland show. apparently the second half was better
and from the sounds of it I was in the minority.

saw them in the project 5 or 6 years ago, it was good

 

[aoifeimc]

would love to got to this...are they only playing Limerick?

 

[Franco]

Yeah the start was really....really.....slow. 45mins of shite all. Second half was better. I was zoned out for the whole thing and enjoyed it.

Score, a five euro gig .|..|.|..|.|..|

Besides, anyone that goes to Soundings gig will know that usually never end up charging in anyway. KK Null was supposed to be 15 quid and about 5 of us just walked in and no one at the door.. No one else coming in after us got charged either

[ratmonkey]

I thought it was about Henry Rollins and his ilk.

made it after all. amen to the above. thought the first set was a bit slow to get going - first third felt like they were feeling around for a common direction which finally materialised in the middle third which was sublime, esp. the bowed bass. second set was spellbinding (though i detected a couple of bum notes from the bass, no?) and as rocking as anything i've heard them do.

made it to limerick on saturday, too. if anything this was the best of the three sets, but they did only play one 60min set there, as paul smyth opened the gig. nothing against paul, but i'd have preferred two from the necks. but what it lacked in quantity, it made up for in quality - maybe the best i've ever seen them and their use of the churchs resonance convinced many in the audience that there were samples, electronics, etc. at play - you hear a two-note bass figure and realise its coming from the (tuned) drums, or a ringing piano note actually coming from the bass, or a flute coming from...? magic stuff.
