What gig did you go to last night? (2 Viewers)

Not last night, it was Friday, but saw Il Sogno del Marinaio at The Grand Social, with the deadly Hubert Selby Jr Infants in support. Good to catch up with Bushie before the gig.

Watt’s got a gammy knee and is playing from a chair on this tour but still brings the fire. Had to leave before the end to catch my bus home, alas.

I had a lot of the same feelings when I saw the big band and the drum solo was pants. It was all good from there on, they might have been waiting on you to leave before letting rip.

dammit. Though I was running out of steam anyway, my wife was eager to hit the road and my son was still quite sick, he has a cough he can't shake (not covid).

Sometimes you’ve gotta do what you’ve gotta do. And unlike me, you got your money’s worth from Weezer at least.

Weezer and the Pumpkins. I'm the opposite to Cornu. My night was all about weezer. They were greatEven though it was billed as a double header it felt like a support slot. Minimal production, minimal chat, just power through the tunes. It's always sad to have to hear Beverly Hills and Island In The Sun but they packed the set with a good spread of songs. Could have played another song instead of the 3 guitar noodles (Fururescope, the outro to Run Raven Run and Only In Dreams). One would have been plenty, could have played Run Raven Run in full. We had introvert Rivers again last night, much like at Vicar St.

Pumpkins on the other hand... We left during the DRUM SOLO in the THIRD SONG which was a U2 COVER!

I admit I struggle with not liking SP for the very reason I like Weezer. That being that they forge ahead and keep making music and doing what ever the hell they want to. You all know I love the SZNZ albums.
I lost interest in the Pumpkins after Mellon Collie and only like the first 3 albums the same way a lot of people ditched Weezer after Pinkerton and will say they only have 2 good records despite never hearing anything else. Have I heard anything after Mellon Collie? no. Do I presume it's all rubbish? yes.

Plus I hated that there was 6 or 7 people onstage, it's all a bit GNR.

I actually like Beverly Hills and Island in the Sun. Especially Island in the Sun.


I didn’t go last night.

Yeah. Loadsa great songs from all three. Never saw any of 'em before.
Great to see them all, inc. young lad Petesy Burns, still having fun.

I am still waiting for a 12:15 am bus home from George's Quay.
Loads more people around than normal 'cause there was a shit concert at Point Depot - Killers?
Thankfully the traffic jam has just eased off in the last few minutes.
Won't be home until about 3am.

I couldn’t go. I’ve seen them a couple of times so I don’t feel so bad.

 

[nuke terrorist]

Never go to the likes of Brujeria or Cattle Decapitation and bands on labels like Relapse, Metal Blade etc.
They're just now raw or noisy enough for me. I only like noisy underground stuff with short songs as far as that goes.

, with the deadly Hubert Selby Jr Infants in support.

I think they're good.

I didn’t know they were playing till after. I’ve seen them too so I’m good.
