Who do Germans class as "britpop" ?

blu_sonic

british pop i guess

britpop...difficult to explain...the usual english stuff (but not only from english bands) like belle&seb.,morrissey,the stills,oasis,feeder,the killers,the leaves,editors,supernaturals,pulp,snow patrol,weeping willows,embrace...whatever!

I had a look on the old thread about this kind of clubs...hope i will find what i am looking for!...

@ blusonic: I googeld for Whelans and found the homepage of this club.But they write only about livegigs...it seems as it is a concertclub or something like this? I thought there are DJ´s who play this indie stuff?...

Whelans does live music, club nights and it's a pub too.

I hear good things about crawdaddy these days too but yeah whelan's, village, maybe carnival... basically Wexford Street.

wexford street is prob the bes area for music in dublin, isaac butts was good but ive not been there in a very long time

doyles on a fri/sat night plays britpop along with some classic 80s tunes, a lot more fun than whelans. With whelans people are there just to be seen there....tis slightly annoying!

blu_sonic

seen by who?

tywy

ah you know what I mean...they think it's cool to be seen at whelans.

everywhere that plays good music is like that, its like they want a badge to say i can find these places. i wouldn't let them bother me. theres posers everywhere, when i was starting to stop drinking in bruxelles about 4 years ago it was strating to go that way too. now its all hip hop, rap, dance (rap so needless to say im not too bothered with there now

There's a good nite on next friday (april 7th) called Q+A,
it gets a good mix of straight/gay/bi folk and the music is great...

It's on in the temple bar music centre from 11 and there's a launch of the new morrissey album and theres a 'yeah yeah yeahs' giveaway too
