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
