RAG Week

SilverScreen

Is anybody actually excited about RAG week this year?? I think it's the weakest lineup i've seen yet, who seriously wants to see Killers and Kings Of Leon cover bands? There's plenty of original acts in this country that are well worth anyone's attention and it shouldn't be so hard for the AITSU to bag a few of them. The only night i'll probably go out is on Thursday night to see Frantic Jack, who are a good live band and throw in plenty of original songs.

I guess for 1st years, and maybe 2nd years, RAG week will be a novelty so they will probably make the most of it, but after that it just gets repetitive and a bit tiring. But still it's nice to have a week off college.

I'm staying well clear of the town the night the Rubberbandits are on. Not only will every wanker in AIT be there but every scumbag in Athlone will be outside Karma trying to get in and starting fights with people. Fun for all the family

After four years here I'm not excited about it at all. Maybe if the line-up were better and I didn't have the same financial issues I would feel differently, but the S.U. people can do far better than this! LYIT regularly have the Vengaboys playing during RAG week, so I'm sure that whoever is really in charge could easily get someone decent in. And I do NOT mean Jedward or Crystal Swing, or the McCaul eejits, or Big Generator, or anyone else who has some sordid/forced novelty factor about them.


Anyone else remember Inflatable Twister two years ago???

Hey guys,

I completely agree... what a waste of time! They don't even use local talent like the two lads in Galactus, they're an amazing up and coming dub step duo but instead they choose has beens like Alex Gaudino etc. The hardy bucks & Justiy are plying on the Wed night in Karma so at least that'll be some craic

Ha! Way to bump a two year-old thread I saw this years line-up a couple of weeks ago and it looked terrible.

Actually, if people are looking for something good to do this Wednesday night I strongly recommend coming to The Prince Bar for a great night of music and craic.
