Informative. Bought a ticket for the Dublin gig.

In. What would be the optimal mind opening substance to best enhance this gig? @feck_it @PoisonousMisanthrope

You haven’t heard any of your music really until you listen to it on acid.

First tranche of Forbidden Fruit acts released today and it looks great already. Tame Impala, Underworld, Groove Armada, Battles, Maya Jane Coles amongst others.

Heading to Foals in the 3Arena tonight, which I’m very giddy for. Saw the band in the Foggy Dew at lunchtime, and they appeared to be in convivial humour.

I’m going to see Suede in the Olympia this evening. I’m not familiar with them at all so having a listen now. Not really my thing but they seem ok.

The Cranberries “broke” America while supporting Suede who never “broke” it. Darlings of the music press and new album is OK. Animal Nitrate is a great song.

40 year olds who used to read the music papers tend to like them.

glasagusban · February 10, 2016, 5:23pm

I knew they were gushed over by music scribes. Never got it. And to be honest, after a solid 45 minutes or so of listening to them, I still don’t. Informative @Fagan_ODowd, I wish to confirm that I am neither of those things.

farmerinthecity · February 10, 2016, 5:37pm

Butler is hardly playing with them again?

glasagusban · February 10, 2016, 5:46pm

Who? Why are you asking me i know nothing about them?

Midshipman_Asha · February 10, 2016, 5:49pm

I saw them 20 years ago approx in the SFX with a group of friends who are now exactly as you describe.
I can’t remember much about it. I saw Primal Scream a few weeks before that in the Dame venue and they were brilliant

farmerinthecity · February 10, 2016, 5:51pm

Holy fuck. You didn’t know that Bernard Butler used to be in Suede? And you’re off to their gig?

glasagusban · February 10, 2016, 5:52pm

Yes and yes.

Fagan_ODowd · February 10, 2016, 6:00pm

I hope you don’t fail the Suede quiz on the way in.

Ralphie · February 11, 2016, 12:51am

Suede at The Olympia - now that was a proper band putting on a proper show.
First half interesting, second half all the classics.
Is it just an Irish thing that some yahoo had to shout out something very stupid during gig.

Suede was good. They played their new album straight through first. They had a light screen hanging down over the stage on which they projected a movie which was filmed for the album. The screen was more opaque at the bottom so you could see the band in behind playing live and by fiddling with the lighting they brought the band or certain members more or less into focus at different stages. It was a cool effect. The subject matter was very bleak but as a piece of art it was impressive. Then they had an intermission then lifted the screen and came back on stage and played the old stuff (I presume it was the old stuff anyway). Not really my kind of music, I imagine it would be much more @farmerinthecity’s thing, but the band were very good and I’d say the proper fans lapped it up.
