    Not sure if they are worthy of a thread, but anyone at this last night?
    I thought they were f**king unbelievable. For their genre of music, I think they have to be one of the best in Ireland at least. The energy they gave off on stage was unreal.

    Usually, I find with some instrumental music, the interest wanes after about 30 mins, as it's kind of the same thing over and over. But just when the thought of "maybe I'll tune out" came into my head, ASIWYFA slapped you across the face and screamed "NOT YET! HERE'S ANOTHER SAVAGE RIFF".

    The support bands weren't my cup of tea to be honest, but ASIWYFA were on a different level altogether. I can only imagine what they must have been like when they played up in Baker Place.

    Face melting, and I have to see them again somewhere....

    I suppose there' s only so much you can do as an instrumental band, but it didn't stop sigur ros even with the made up vocals.

    Their 2 albums are top notch. Interesting to see what they do next, but last night was as good as it gets for heavy instrumental stuff for me....

    I saw the redneck manifesto in there before, and these lads are on a different level.......

    Saw them at Indiependence last year. Really good live. You should check out God is an Astronaut as well. Went to see them at Dolans last year, really good gig.

    Phenomenal gig. ASIWYFA were absolutely top notch. Missed them when they played bakers, so wasn't really sure what to expect (as far as a live show goes) but it ended up being excellent. Nicked a poster, and It'll stay on my wall. Won't forget that gig in a while! I really should start going to gigs sober more often. :P

    We Come In Pieces were great as usual, I though. Really fun band to watch.
    I missed Former Monarchs - ended up chatting to random people.
    Race the Flux were alright, not great. I saw them before in Bakers, and they were class. Was a little disapointed with their set that night.

    The bouncers in Dolans never change too. Muppets. :pac:
