Review of Battles, etc in Vicar Street 12149 37
Started by AstonishingSodApe
The review I've just read by Daragh Murray on Cluas (of last night's Battles gig) is one of the most ridiculous I've read in years. Is he taking the piss Does he honestly expect a BOUNCER to appreciate Battles And what's this toss about 'Exaggerated emotion, tossed scarves, and sweaty, meaningful stares' WTF The gig was incredible - the band was lost in the music, as always, completely dedicated and performing faultlessly. He admits he knew nothing about the band before going - even the smal...

Primavera 4378 2
Started by mixtapepublicity
Anyone over in Barcelona for this one What a damn excellent weekend.
My favourites were Public Enemy, Sebadoh, Les Savy Fav, Caribou, Midnight Juggernauts (what I can remember of them in the haze), Devo, Devastations, Okkervil River, Notwist, MGMT. I don't think I got to see half as many as I should have but what can you do.
Portishead were dreary, as was Rufus W without his backing band.

Musical Mystery Tour in Carlow - Did anyone else go to it? 3627 0
Started by Iambeave
I was at a rave that had so much potential the other night: a huge warehouse, funky little marquee, and no cops.
But where were the people
We were told to keep it hush hush - but when that means that you have an empty warehouse with about forty people dancing, then what's it all for Apparantly PLUG (the organisers) had a license for 1000 people. I think there were about 300 people there.
What did everyone think of it, if anyone went I'd a great night dancing, but like ...

The National in the Olympia 5645 11
Started by Quint
Seems only yesterday that they last played the Olympia but last night's gig not as good. Started well but far too many slower songs which led to a long mid-set slump...they blew the roof off with 'Mr.November' at the end but all in all, not the most memorable of gigs.

American Music Club - Whelans last Sat 3682 2
Started by Quint
Great, great gig last week- Mark Eitzel in great form. Lots of funny anecdotes and one incredibly filthy joke from the great man. Neil Hannon popped up on vocals for one song. Amazingly after 25 years they are sounding better than ever, the two new members seemed to have given Eitzel and guitarist Vudi a new lease of life. Unusually, for an Irish gig, no morons in the crowd and no stupid heckles.
What the hell have they done to Whelans though, bit more space alright but it seems a bit sou...

I just want to say that they rocked like an absolute motherf^*cker! There is something to say about a gig where you nearly get your head taken off by a spoon while standing near the back.
What did everybody else think

Alela Diane & Mariee Sioux 4429 1
Started by dermot_trellis
In Crawdaddy last night.. anybody head along Two talented backwoodsy folky gals from the same Californian town that Joanna Newsom is from. It was a very pleasant evening, and they're both very sweet.. though I think I may have hit my quota of 'nature imagery in song lyrics' for the next six months sometime fairly early on. I think Alela might make a few waves with her second album when it comes out later this year, if the quality of her stuff to date is anything to go by.

This Will Destroy You @ Whelans 4533 2
Started by Quint
Sublime, Mindblowing stuff and Very, very, LOUD!! They just pummel you with the most incredible guitar assault but it's all underpinned with some very subtle and deeply moving guitar lines. Mogwai's true heirs. Marred somewhat by groups of complete f**king morons talking loudly during the quiter moments however.
