The Village (previously Mono, Mean Fiddler) has a incompetent layout and suffers from poor sound.

No matter where you stand you cannot avoid being shunted out of the way constantly by people on their way to the bar or the toilets (appallingly positioned).

As a wise lady once said
'It's a godawful, overpacked hellhole and people should be ashamed to put gigs on in there, or even ask human beings to darken its doors.'

would love to see him, seems to be only a Dublin date in it

, Illinois is a great album

Prezatch · 22-08-2005 9:02pm

Ah crap. I was really looking forward to seeing Jimmy Chamberlin there this Friday. Bad sound for JC and his kit is not an option

All agreed that Illinois is a fantastic album say "I".

We should Hallowe'en theme the gig. I'm definitely going to this. The Village isn't great, but it's not like we have a choice, unless you wanna go see him somewhere else in Europe. He'll be playing a good few in England, presumably, take a long weekend?

treefingers · 23-08-2005 4:28pm

no chance of him in cyprus avenue, cork i suppose? it was nice of devendra and a few others to venture down this way...

A Cork date would have been class, doesn't look like its going to happen unfortunately

treefingers · 23-08-2005 4:40pm

anyone know if hes bringing his full band (the illinoise makers!)
and these 2 in particular

COCK · 23-08-2005 5:31pm

is the village in finglas?

I also heard its not all ages?

comet · 23-08-2005 5:47pm

on Wexford Street, over 18s

sweetoblivion · 24-08-2005 11:52am

anyone know when tickets are on sale? I'm desperate to get to this and live in cork so must book them online! tried ticketmaster but they're not available yet, and the mcd link is a bad link!

the new album is A-MA-ZING. I'm loving it as much as seven swans at the mo, although it's obviously much closer in form to Michigan/A Sun Came.

casimir pulaski day is a ****ing sad song!

shuushh · 24-08-2005 7:53pm

oh HELL YES

Great song, my favourite off Illinois

Anyone know when tickets are on Sale? And is the Village really that bad? All standing?

ps He's bringing his full band!

devendra banhart was great at the village even if there was a random drunk in the corner shouting abuse. Noah got slightly offended.

think I might go to this gig too even if the village does suck. From what I've heard he is really good, must listen to his album a bit more.

I was pretty near that guy, he was fairly annoying.

tywy · 10-09-2005 5:47pm

I was up the front and Noah really scared me when he gave out to the drunk guy. His eyes got really big.....shudder!

Pacifico · 10-09-2005 8:57pm

smackbunnybaby · 11-09-2005 12:26am

HarryHoudini · 11-09-2005 6:38pm

I actually noticed the album was in the top 5 in Tower's own chart a while ago and thought it strange. I had never heard of him untill he was mentioned in Uncut

Winter Slide · 12-09-2005 9:35pm

the village is a great venue. good thing he isn't going to the ****hole that is cork. can't wait

I can tell you Cork has much better venues than the Village

lordgoat · 13-09-2005 12:23pm

anyone got a spare ticket or two for this? really didn't think he'd sell out so early...

Er...Douglas Hyde Gallery last year/year before?
Do extrapolate though - what difference would it make???
