anyone go to the Village gig on Saturday?
8 bands each playing a mini set, very impressive stuff.
place eventually filled up but was over half empty
for the first couple of acts and two of my faves on the night.
definately recommend catching these live:
Soviet Filter, f**ked-up indie-pop,

Lotus Lullaby, catchy electro rawk!,
http://artists.cpu.ie/bands/453/
8Ball, a lot of cool layered sounds(7 members!),

I doubt the bands got much, if any, soundcheck and
i think Dry County were let down there. Lost Now was still class.

8ball are really good. But, I didn;t know you got to play the IMRO showcases when you're already signed...?

Cant say i thought much of the betamax format, too repetative for me, but the delerentos were pretty good

8ball are good, little too gentle at times.
betamax were ok, ponies were pretty good.
for me delorentos were by far the best of the night, they'd some technical s**t going on with the mics or something though.
it must be mental to organise that many bands.

Ponies were my favourite on the night - do they have a website, or any material recorded?
Followed by 8ball, last song was particularly good, look forward to hearing their album.
Dry county were badly let down by the sound. Would like to see them at their own gig after a decent soundcheck though.
Delorentos performed well, have decent songs, but just didn't grab me.
Betamax Format were alright too, not as good as on the Sugar Club IMRO night though. Lluther sucked. NIN-lite.
