    I saw these guys when they supported The Cure in Hyde park London last year. It was a big outdoor event but boy were they loud...I have never experienced loudness like it, especially at an outdoor gig....I can only imagine what they will be like in the confines of The Village ...bring your earplugs boy n girls !!

    Jaysus, loudest band outdoors as well (the Olympia and Red Box gigs left me ears ringing well into tomorrow)
    Think they sell ear plugs as part of their merchandise.
    Can't wait!

    Stuart's guitar is especially loud...I suspect because its his birthday he may be one more louder on Saturday!


    I have my earplugs

    didn't like that venue.
    one of my fav ever gigs was deus in the mean fiddler 5 or 6 years ago but they've levelled out the whole floor and unless you're over 6 foot you can't see much of the band if you're in the back half of the venue where the bar is. worse still you can't hear much in that back half when the band are playing quiet stuff cause of all the chat and banter around the bar area.

    mogwai were great though.
    Gwan The Bhoys!!!

    Yes it was an excellent gig,usually when at a gig the first bass drum attacked is the most fatal one but every tap was like a punch to the heart,the guitars when you thought they couldnt get louder they did,and when yer fighting for air against a very bassy bass you know yer ears are in trouble,well worth the sacrafice of that small percentage of hearing but nextime bring earplugs,i hope yis all know that if your drunk going to a gig your ears are more exposed to the music thus increasing your chances of damaging your hearing?
