Balls: Have to work tomorrow...won't get in until 7 at the earliest. Do you guys reckon that'll be too late?

lordgoat

doors are at 8. I won't get there til after 7 either...

johnny_ultimate

Wonder if it will be packed. Aiming to be there for seven too, think that's safe?

lordgoat

Tickets are on sale now from WAV. Get them beforehand if you can.

7 should be grand johnny

TwoCanDan

That was brilliant...thanks again for the heads-up lordgoat...

Without a doubt the best Quality:Cost ratio of any gig I've ever been to...(€5ticket, €4pint, 80c hula hoops on way home).

Can anyone tell me what the song he played after The Power of Love was?...I'm ashamed to say I didn't know it, but I knew TPOL from the first few notes...

Oh...it was also nice to see Corey Feldman back at work, albeit on drums!

That song is called Trouser Minnow.

johnny_ultimate

What a ****ing gig. Two hours of awesome for a fiver. Couldn't off the top of my head think of anything he missed out on setlist wise, plus a tonne of surprises. Was almost disappointed when he stopped playing covers :P Some unusual but excellent additions from his earlier stuff - He Poos Clouds! Was a bit concerned about the band at times but they really did add a lot to songs like Lewis Takes off His Shirt (I love being reminded how straight up awesome that song is), even if the drummer tended to go a bit mad :pac:

Thanks LG for heads-up and JL for the tickets Most bitchin' hour long encore I've ever paid a fiver for.

That was really fast, thanks!...I was going to hazard a guess and say it sounded a bit like a Big Black tune...sorry to go off-topic, but do you reckon Two Nuns and a Pack Mule is worth getting in it's entirety?

johnny_ultimate

Oh, forgot he didn't play the Butcher. The selfish bastard :pac:

It was by Rapeman - but they're also a Steve Albini band so you're nearly right. I just knew it was Albini, had to look up the band name.

Albini's stuff is always worth checking out I think, although I go through phases of liking it.

Rapeman was Albini and the rhythm section from Scratch Acid, there’s a few songs on the record that get tiresome after a few hundred listens, but it's worth checking out to hear how well the three of them play together. It's less relentless the Big Black, a smaller band and all human.

If you like Albini pick it up.

I think there is a song or two missing off this...

My main problem with that list is that they think 'Power of Love' is a Celine Dion cover.

lordgoat

I know, but i think it stems from him playing it at a show the first time when Celine had some big show on in Canada...

Interesting fact about The Power of Love. It's the only song to be number 1 in the same year by three different artists (Same song title not actual song). Bonus points for the year and artists.

Hackysack

Found these online. These are some tracks from the Owen Pallett gig itself.

No sign of Wilco playing in Ireland any time soon? I saw they're touring... They're usually good for a stop in Vicar St.

There's more european dates to be announced. They'll play next march i'f guess, either before or more likely after the UK leg. Also i'd expect them to be at primavera.

this friday:

Present
The Magic Band
Friday December 2nd
Button Factory
Doors 7.30
Tickets €25 From Sound Cellar & Tickets.ie/umack










The Magic Band make their debut Irish appearance this friday. Reunited in 2001, the band will be performing music from all the albums they created with Captain Beefheart (who retired from music in 1982, and sadly passed away in 2010), from 1967's "Safe as Milk" onwards. Don't miss this rare opportunity to witness this incredible event.
This preformance will feature:
John “Drumbo” French, Vocals, harmonica & drums
Denny “Feelers Rebo” Walley, Slide guitar
Mark “Rocket Morton” Boston, Bass
Eric Klerks , guitar
Craig Bunch, drums


check out this incredible footage from 2006
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bsr7YQj4b00


Some other People's thought's on the reformed Magic band:
For those who have yet to experience the Magic Band's truly ambitious weirdness, these shows will astonish you. And for tried and true Beefheart fans like me, these are deliriously momentous occasions with maybe a nostalgic, avant-garde sniffle or two
Matt Groening (creator of The Simpsons)


John Peel was initially skeptical about the re-formed Magic Band. He played a live recording of the band recorded at the 2003 All Tomorrows Parties festival on his radio show; afterwards he couldn't speak and had to put on another record to regain his composure..

Captain Darling

Gig tonight in Roisin Dubh Galway tonight with the Frank and Walters, the Deprivations, Elaine Mai and Rams Pocket Radio. Apply through Hotpress.com for free tickets. Just after getting two there. Handy out.

notnumber

This might prove a useful thread.
Tips for upcoming gigs/discussion and reviews of gigs attended welcomed.
Obviously we want to avoid mass duplication of the Gig/Events forum so keep on-topic which I know most will.Those gigs where you pay a ten or twenty quid and see something great are by far my fav type of Gig.
Anyway first up am curious to hear How Animal Collective gig last night went down..Anyone go?

I was there, immense.
The entire place sat on the floor for the intro of My Girls, then lepped up when it kicked off. Amazing.

Easy Rod

Going to see Matt Corby next Weds in Whelan's. Ozzie dude, think he came 3rd on Australia X factor a few years back but has slightly reinvented himself as an excellent singer/songwriter. Not sure what sort of crowd is going to be there.

This song, in particular, is amazing. One of my favourite songs over the past year.

Stompbox

Yeah, the Animal Collective gig was excellent. The songs off 'Centipede Hz' translated really well (particularly the spikier, beat-driven tunes like 'Moonjock' and 'Today's Supernatural) and while the musical interludes between songs did drag at times, the soundscapes they produced were astonishing. There was a bittersweet realisation though that the gig only really took legs when they played the MPP cuts ('Brothersport' was spectacular).

Nissim

Were Prince Rama supporting when you guys saw Animal Collective? If so, what did you think of them?

Miguel_Sanchez

Threads merged.

Irish Aris

I have a very busy gig month ahead of me!
-Passion Pit at the Olympia 11/11
-Citizens! at Academy 2 12/11
-Keane at the Olympia 21/11
-Shearwater at Button Factory 28/11
-Purity Ring at Button Factory 29/11
-Wild Nothing at Workman's Club 01/12

The last two are those I anticipate the most: I've half-seen Purity Ring at Forbidden Fruit and found them quite interesting and Wild Nothing's Nocturne is one of my favourite albums this year.

Exitmusic playing Whelans this Saturday 10/11. Cracking little band!

The Dirty Three are playing The Button Factory on Nov 23rd. Guaranteed stormer of a gig.

Xavi6

Got tickets for Turn's last tour. Unfortunately I'm only in Ireland for the Cork date on Dec 27 so have to travel to bandit country for it

Ah well, just glad I can catch them on my trip home and at 15 euro it's a snip. One of my favourite ever Irish bands.

From what I've heard Deakin thought it was rather cool and was blown away by it.

Shockin easy to embarrass you. Did you stand at the back, arms folded appreciating the time signatures?
