I went last night for the first time, but to be honest didn't think too much of the music played. (personal opinion and all that).

Having said that, I'm delighted to see somewhere that at least tries to play alternative music.

StandnDeliver

what music are you into?the requests determine the nights music whatever the crowd asks for really.
Most people are afraid to ask for requests but the djs do listen.
thanks for going along though

For anyone that is cheap (like me) there are purgatory fliers at Other Realms. They are located at the Paul Street shopping centre (upstairs but next to tesco). They are worth 1EUR off admission, I believe they are still good for that anyway.

So is it seperate nights for seperate genres or all mixed up like Freakscene? I thought Purgatory was opening up near Mangans.

purgatory takes over cyprus avenue (above the old oak, entrance is on caroline street, go up the stairs that are there) friday nights 11:30pm to 2am. If you go earlier there is something else that is going on, which is seperate from purgatory. Also if you try to go in too early you will have to pay additional for whatever gig happens to be going on, but its normally only 1EUR extra, which is probably why you see people waiting outside until near 11:30

http://www.purgatorycork.com is a good place to go for more info.

StandnDeliver

it was going originally going to start in the pav(club renaissance) but they cancelled 2days b4 launch,bad form and are time wasters i might add!!:mad:

purgatory

i have every intention of stealing mel's cloak (huzzah for the great outer clothing swap on fridays) AFTER she does my eyeliner

Jack B. Badd

I have every intention of actually asking the dj to play Scissor Sisters for me next week :rolleyes:

Fysh

Hehehe, I wasn't sure if that whole conversation about coats actually happened towards the end of the night. Or the fraggle rock thing, for that matter. (Mental note : do I have an mp3 of the South Park underpants gnomes song?)

Also, if anyone goes asking for Scissor Sisters I'm forcing the DJ to play an entire Strapping Young Lad album (even if I have to bring my own copy along with me).

I dont recall fraggle rock, although I do have really bad hearing and couldnt hear much of what was being said. The clothes stealing comments were made a few times, your coat was threatened about midway through, where someone elses was threatened at the end

I have no idea what either of those are, and somehow feel better about myself for it

Jack B. Badd

But...but...the Scissor Sisters are so damned good!

Yeah, I vaguely recall admiring someone else's coat and noticing the...interesting straps on the back of it and speculating what they might be used for. Heh.

Scissor scisters - the latest fashionably gay disco-pop-rock band eveyrone seems to love for no easily discernible reason.

Strapping Young Lad - pretty much the only heavy metal/industrial band worth listening to from the last 5 years or so.

(My opinion only, of course, but then again everyone knows I'm always right about everything )

Gay?! Holy crap, I'm putting my immortal soul in danger! :eek:

As I recall, all but one of the band members is either gay or bi. Not that this is anyone's business, but it seems to be of more concern to their record label's marketing people than the actual tunes, which is something of a shame...

Whereas Strapping Young Lad are just about making your eardrums bleed. Plus they've been known to open gigs to Blame Canada from the South Park movie (they're canadian). What's not to like?

Well, so long as they're nice, straight, Church-attending, young men. For the sake of my soul, you know...

They were asked about that on T4 this weekend - and they basically said it's not an issue for them anymore, they'd rather just be known for the music.
I think it's finally working like that too - proper order.

Ear bleeding is bad m'kay!

Hmm, gonna have to differ on that one I guess. There again, I seemed to be the only person at Purgatory the other night who likes Ministry so it seems that I'm relatively alone in my appreciation for industrial type music...

purgatory is a bit tame compared to a place I went to in New Jersey in the 90s. Course they had live bands which added to it, sacred reich played there, athough you may not have heard of them (they arent together anymore either), propane played there (really doubt anyone heard of em), type o negative was the biggest band that played there. They had 2 stages and a bar in the middle (3 stories). The basement was the really unknown bands the upper stage was the more popular ones. It was mostly death metal and very little else, and we liked it
