Bossanova trudges for me after The Happening which is one of my favourite Pixies songs.
Trompe Le Monde is pretty much non stop quality throughout.
They were struggling to maintain the albumās flow from the recording as they had to switch guitars etc but they made a great attempt at it. The Sad Punk into Head On was maintained.
Iām not a big fan of the Olympia in comparison to other places but the sound was incredible in there last night.
I met this lad back in the late 90s when I was living in Glasgow. I met him at the Celtic connections festival at the late bar. He was an absolute gent even though he was really quite famous at the time. This is awful news.
Ham Sandwich playing an acoustic set in Whelanās tonight. ā¬25. Bargain for todayās ticket prices. Brilliant live act.
Hard to believe theyāre still at it. Hadnāt heard of them in an age. Fair play I guess.
Yep, new album released this month I think. Live album. Another Irish band who didnāt make it outside our shores. I suppose they get a few bob for playing the domestic festival market and one off gigs now and then to pay some of their bills.
DIIV tonight in Vicar Street.
March-May before the festival season kicks off is always the best time for gigs.
ā¬138.50 to buy a standing ticket to see a 75 year old Stevie Nicks.
Youād want your head examined.
Very ageist.
Tickets got for nick cave. His gig in kilmainham a few years ago was one of the best concerts Iāve seen ever, the three arena is soulless and shite so I donāt think it will be as good.
Will he sell out the 3arena? Probably will.
Iāve seen him three times at this stage, and itās always an excellent live show. I got in early for that Kilmainham show so got one of those pit passes. Great night.
Iād have thought he could sell it out a couple times. Kilmainham much bigger surely. Patti Smith was there too but he was the main draw.
Were you up on stage? I saw him there and at ATN. Heās the best live performer Iāve ever seen, he has an incredible presence.
I was at it with my buddy who wanted to head early to Ty Segall in the Tivoli the same night.
He had ants in his pants for much of Cave.
He got me the tickets so I couldnāt complain.
I really liked Patti Smith.
No. I didnāt go on stage.
I saw him with Grinderman as well before but didnāt enjoy that at all.
I was at gorillaz and LCD sound system that week also. Took the week of work and it was scorching. It was brilliant.
Wow! Thatās impressive.
Just booked Nick Cave in Krakow, 11th October
