I'll more than likely be reviewing this gig. Really good line-up. Hopefully it attracts a large crowd.

Mully, if I added a fiveoh to your name would I know you from another forum? Always meant to ask.

I've no idea of costs, but it is venue that should/could be used more often by local acts. I remember seeing Tyco Brahe play a Midnight show, & it was pretty cool. I liked the idea of meeting my friends first then going to a gig, as opposed to leaving a venue after 11 & letting a bouncer decide if I can meet up with friends or not. Have done some PR work within the olympia for bands in my past life and am guestimating here but i reckon this is probably costing jove close to 5 figures. I for one am excited about the prospect of seeing these bands on that level and how they perform and cope with the night. I hope they pull a crowd as I think Mully said it in a way and so did you flipper with your thread, if it worked it may well open up more doors for Irish Acts and promoters. Yes i'm going and so is me missus though she does not know it yet!!!

I think it's about €15 to get in on the night which is pretty decent a price if I'm right. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm not....

Hi all Yes we've added Jenny to the bill. We were talking about the night etc etc and kinda went .."oh f**k, we've no female representation on the bill" with the exception of the Alphastates Katherine, so we thought it was important to bring in a female act and we think she is great too. "Illyad" your fairly spot on, its 14:50 standing and 17:50 seated including booking fee. We are going to go for a 7:45 door time with first act on about 7:50. Four weeks today... a few nerves but sure would not be normal if there were not, hope as many of you can make it as possible. Cheers Jove

so how did this go? i was unable to attend...good night had? have Jove proven that you dont need big media hype to play a big venue?

well we'll certainly be there....

Sorry!, but excellent, for once in my life gettin dates wrong is proving positive! how embarassing all the same, must have been all that beer i had for breakfast yesterday morning! hah, nice one, will be there and spread the word! sorry about that again! best of luck

good luck with the gig lads....... I hope it's a BIG success

Ally curtis is a nice name change from the usual names, dont mean that in an offensive way anyone!! Often get to hear good acts on the last splash. nice one.

i am. whats the full line up now?

Full line-up is Karl Vincent, Jenny Lindfors, Delorentos, Alphastates, 66e, Jove. - There is an interview with Jove in the current issue of the Event Guide.

i presume there's going to be a review of this on cluas? incidently someone said alphastates have changed their sound slightly.... true?

Flipper i think i might have to cough up a few pennies... 16 people is a fair whack! lol Just to answer your question Kierry and sorry took me so long, to my knowledge, their are a couple of Cluas boys/gals coming down for a look see so there should be a review, best review though would be your own review... he he... tag along if you can! Talk soon Jove

I'll be scribbling in my notepad tomorrow night so expect a live review over the coming days.

I thought it was a great night. Very good crowd. I missed the first act but really enjoyed Delorantos. Some very catchy guitar licks and memorible hooks. It is rare to see two really strong singers in a band . I would say they will get snapped up faily soon because the music is really "now" and they have the look too (preppy cool thang). I love the 66e and really enjoyed the set. They even played a couple of new songs which came off very well. I never liked Alphastates just not my thing i guess. I really enjoyed Jove's set someone here said they where like Muse mixed with melaton and that is spot on. The singer has a great voice and holds your attention like a front man should. The sound is very layered with three guitarists,strings,keyboard etc etc and thats alot to take in. I would imagine Jove are a bit of a "grower". I look forward to getting my hands on a cd and going to another gig so i can sing along with the masses. Great night defo worth the 15 euro.

Highlight of the night for me was Delorentos (again). Jove are not a band that I'd be a fan of but they're very good at what they do and I can see them doing well.

Sorry i missed delorentos as i think theyre rather good. same goes for jenny lindfors. I arrived in the middle of 66e, never heard them before, singer went out of tune a few times, must have been an off night. Never heard them before either but thought alphstates were great, the sound was terrible for them, whoever is responsible for the sound at that point must have been having a laugh. really disgusted at that after payin 14 euro i expect all bands to have a decent sound from the engineer at least. was pretty drunk by the time jove came on but liked it alot, much better than the stuff i'd heard from the website, the live setting seems to suit them better. They certainly seemed to be having a ball. overall the main complaint was the soudn quality, nice atmosphere, good bands

hey, as a matter of interest,what was karl vincent like? i heard him in the voodoo lounge a few weeks back and liked what i heard, but was too busy a sky-festing to go saturday night fire-works and fights,dublin can be heaven!

What was the turnout like?

6 -7 hundred? hard to tell, was downstairs ...and very merry.

928... cheers all
