Yup, really wish people would just put the phone the **** away, it's maddening

speaking of gigs, what's you's all looking forward to?

I might head to see Solstice in The Pint on Sat and considering going to Grand Magus next month.

When Cynic played The Village in 2011, there was guy standing a few rows back from the center of the stage with his camera phone attached to what looked like a homemade rod that hovered over the crowd recording for most of the gig o_O

I wasn't bothered that much, but it was inconsiderate of other people watching the show, not to mention how bloody self-conscious I'd feel if I stood there waving around a contraption like that .

At gigs in the past, I've taken literally a few photos at random points just to have something to look at afterward, but I've learned that their quality is always awful and not worth the bother. Better to soak up the moment while you're there and have good memories to enjoy I find.

On the subject of hoodies, I've been eyeing up a particular type of TOOL one online, but I'm wary of buying clothes without trying them on first or at least holding it in my hands to see what the material is like :-/

Anybody up to aught at the weekend? I might head to the Solstice gig in the Pint.

I'm 98% heading to that, also going to Fibs tonight to see a couple of bands. Well to have some beers while some bands are playing :pac:

Edit: Just ordered tickets to see Corrosion of Conformity in Berlin in a couple of weeks. This'll be my fourth COC gig and fourth country to see them in :pac:

Good man, Mr. Crumb. Sure I might see ye there.

Nice! Have you been to Berlin before?

I'm just going to leave this here: www.facebook.com/galwaymetalheads

Seeing as there's no metal happening in Galway, I want to start something up on a regular or semi regular basis, and having facebook page to get interest is the most logical conclusion

Passenger

Good idea, Links. A regular Metal night in Galway with bands/DJ might get some interest.

Links234

Well, fingers crossed something will come of it

My first choice for venue has said no

Jesus, they were sh*t hahaha.

Nah, never been before, but I've a few mates there so it shouldn't be too difficult to find our way around :pac:

Did you head to Brux after the gig? Didn't see ye there.

Aye, it's a good aul spot, Berlin. Plenty to see and do and a load of Rock bars too.

salacious crumb

Yeah, was there for a little while, but didn't stay too late at all. Trying to keep some cash for next weekend, it's gonna be a very, very busy few days :pac:

Ah yes, the big four-oh... Should I be even saying that out loud? I'll buy ye a pint if I'm there man.

salacious crumb

It's hardly a secret :pac:

Passenger

I'm gonna check out that Revolution night. It's downstairs in the Turk's Head on Sat.

I've been at the last three.

First one was great, but left both the others after less than an hour, and Turk's Head is also not somewhere I would go to of my own choice (last time I was there I had a fight with four bouncers, it didn't go well for me :pac: )

A lot of my mates love it though.

Passenger

Does there be many heads at it? Sure I'll mosey in for a gander anyway.

salacious crumb

There's usually a few of my crew there, but they better all be at my birthday this week or there'll be trouble :pac:

It's mostly dribs and drabs of the old Dominion gang. There's always hot goth girls there though, so you just have to figure out if looking at (not all that many) hot chicks is worth listening to sh*t music for five hours.....

In fairness though, the music was only really bad at the last one, but that was because it wa upstairs in Voodoo Lounge and trying to contend with the FULL ON RAVE that was happening downstairs so they just played the most dance orientated goth music they could to try (unsuccessfully) to drown out the cacopohony from downstairs.....

Passenger

Aye, it seems to be a successor of sorts to Dominion. At least it's only once a month and in a different venue which might retain some interest and keep a crowd. Like I said, I'll give it a gander anyway.

salacious crumb

Yeah, the first one in the Black Sheep was great, I think it lost out cos of the next two venues though, Academy 2 and upstairs in Voodoo, which are not great venues at all.
Still, I'd go every time just for Fi's sake (which is obviously why I went to all three of them to date). She's a super lady.

Passenger

I would've went to those if I had known about them. Only found out it existed a few days ago. So gonna make sure to check out the one on Sat.

Would I know her?

salacious crumb

Possibly. She's been around as long as I have :pac:

Agro-Fi of the Ministry of *Agro-culture?

*Not affiliated with Aggro-Culture, or indeed the Cork Street Posse

Passenger

I probably know her to see then. Seen those fellas a couple times at some Face Melter gigs. :pac:

Links234

I could be going to Revolution at some point in the future

Passenger

And sure why not.

Zwillinge

I only got to go to the last few Dominions, but Revolution was plenty of fun. I enjoyed the Academy one

After the Black Sheep Basement one, I walked upstairs and my glasses just fogged up and I couldn't see for ages :pac: They just kept refogging :P:cool:

Passenger

New song and artwork for the upcoming Devin Townsend Project Casualties of Cool.

In case Devin Townsend’s overwhelming popularity wasn’t already readily apparent: within twenty-four hours of launching the crowdfunding campaign for his Casualties of Cool project this past Friday, Mr. Townsend achieved 249% of his total goal.

Nice fusion of sounds and quite mellow which is not exactly surprising as Devy has been rather mercurial with his musical endeavors in recent years.

Somnus

Was listening to it last night. Absolutely love it. Looking forward to hearing the full album! And he said the excess money will go towards Ziltoid 2 as well, so that's cool

Passenger

Aye, kinda half surprised that DT needs to raise funds to record an album.

GLaDOS

New Devin song sounds great, bit of a Ki vibe about it. Look forward to hearing the album.

Nailz

Love the new track, love that sort of sound. Sounds like "Ki" DTP mixed with mid-era Massive Attack and Mr. Bungle's "California".

Saw Devin do an accoustic gig at Download last year and he was great. Missed DTP in the Academy though as I was away, would love to see him again!

Aye, I enjoyed the DTP gig last year more then the previous gig he played in The Academy. The setlist contained more gems imo.

Have you moved to Dublin btw, Nailz?
