"The three bands that blew people away in the hard working class heroes were The Subtonics,Republic of Loose and Listo.These bands are playing on Saturday the 6th of september in the Soon to be opened The Hub, which is below The Mezzanine on Eustace Street Temple bar.As good a line-up as you will ever see imho.Honest ta jaysus rock and roll at its finest." Shut the f**k up! Jesus Christ I am sick of listening to this s**t. This forum is not just a means of promoting events involving these bands (and Hi:Rise, The Things and The Mouse). Promote your gigs properly by putting a bit of effort in. I'll probably get attached here by people saying how hard it is to promote gigs in Dublin but I don't give a f**k. If you would put a bit of imagination and (heaven-forbid) money into promoting gigs then you wouldn't be resorting to spamming message boards.

PEOPLE WILL DO AS PEOPLE WILL DARE.

That's a bit harsh monkey. the people who are interest in this thread are the very people I thought would be interested in this gig. chill for feck sake its only rock and/or roll

Ehh don't flatter yerself there monkey, do you really believe that the bands yer naming rely on this forum for exposure?...where are you going with the idea that none of the bands you just mentioned bother promoting gigs properly or don't put money into doing that but resort to "Spamming" this forum - can't speak for anyone else but when we've a gig we spend hours walking around town flyering, putting out posters in shops - pay for poxy bill board poster runs, radio ads, send all printed listings etc etc - i advertise gigs on the net cos it's another route - if you've a problem with reading a plug for a gig on this site, a music site for irish music fans - i suggest you find another site to go on. And besides if it was against net-etiquette to do so i'm sure the moderators would tell us to f**k off. I go on this site to see what bands are up to..who's gigging, who's releasing a recording etc - why do you come on here? Peace03 I have to say that we gigged our asses off all over the country and it didn't get us anywhere - sadly you can gig like a motherf**ker and it won't really pay off - all it did, apart from helping us to find a more defined sound when playing live, was to disillusion us to bits. The only way forward is to record record record - if you have some good songs - well produced, well presented recorded material you can push radio play and media coverage which will get more people down to your gigs when you do play and also may get your stuff on the desk of some one that just might start paying some of the bills for you - though that's a bit of a daydream at this stage! The proof is in the pudding as they say - put your talent where anyone that's interested can hear it and ignore the back biters - I'm not interested in reading about why people think this or that band is crap, who they hang around with, where they are from or what poxy background they have - working class, middle class, it's all b****x - let the music do the talking. If it floats yer boat buy it, absorb it and love it and if not then don't bother yer hole giving it another 5 seconds thought.

Respect!!!

Excellent! And so ends the discussion! Nice one Dromed.

Hi shewolf, I fancy you. Do you wanna go on a date with 50's america style? Na i think what your saying is 100% to the point, your rigth dublins crying out for another tony wilson to take this scene by the scruff. You seem to know your histoy so way dont you do it. By the way im the guitarist with Listo and i think the Liam Gallagher thing was a bit harsh. But im trying to get the c**t to get a haircut but theres no joy! p.s ill meet down the lane for a wear at 7.00

Ha ha ha ha Mulrooney your such a fukin chancer!!!!

I fancy you to dromed......

mulrooney..stop sellin your bleedin love online!!!! fair ball to ya though..your seriously honest to jaysus..yourself, neil moore, the late herald, shane walsh, funerals, john player blue, the gaa, damo dempsey..where would the republic of ireland be without yis!!

Shewolf are you really a hewolf i think you are.But thats ok cause you give me the horn oh you have to be a hewolf you sound like a big beast of a man.I think you and me should get in to each outher ya me and you gay sex with the things playing in the back ground to get really going. OH YA I REALLY LUST FOR YOU

oh you dirty thing! are you a pretty thing?, the charles atlas course will turn you into a beast of man- if you need direction,3 little steps to heaven, shake, rattle, and roll. cliche, cliche, cliche taking things by the scruff of the neck appeals to me all right but i think i'll prowl for awhile longer, getting hungry though, might just bite. you gotta have class though working or otherwise

Here here!

Oh ya shewolf fishface likes your talk and he shakes, rattles, and rolls with the though of your hairy shewolf ass in his pretty fishface and oh boy it sure is pretty- cum, cum,cum.

getting back to the aul gig, i got in late cos was only in dublin for a funeral and was out meeting a friend before the monday night gig... first band i saw were listo and i was really really impressed, particularly enjoyed the guitar sound( real chunky dist. but sweet chords), and i dont think the singer had much of a liam gallagher thing going on to be honest... i also thought hi-rise were brilliant (feel like i'm cheering on the board bands but i'm not) really enjoyed their set, i'd like to see them again to get a real proper opinion of them, see what the rest of their set was like. highlight of the night for me was nina hynes, she's just a f**kin legend... dickin around with wooden spoons and the like and not only lookin cool but soundin it too. was dissappointed with alphastates cos i usually think they (babelfish) are great but on the night i just thought they lacked abit of soul and had a very flat personality halite... not a fan at all... someone said if i had the chilis number would i ask them for a support, of course i would but at the end of the day it aint up to them, its up to mcd who the bill is, and personally i dont understand why halite were on it... bands like the revs or the walls who've opened in previous yrs at least had some releases under their belts, not that i'm a fan of them either. i thought woodstar werent at their best at the gig but still i disagree with whoever said they have their sound honed to

just cos they have interests and influences in the type of music that journalists seem to like to write about (sparklehore, mercury rev) doesnt mean that they set out to sound like that for that purpose and that purpose alone. i think its a real negative and pessimistic attitude to take towards them... one thing i'll say bout woodstar is that they are a pro band, really f**kin have their sounds and s**t together, even if they didnt play a good set that particular night. thats pretty much all i can remember bout the night, i remember enjoying the things but it wasnt the best i've seen them, and i dont think the sound did them any favours. it was really well organised night so fair play to peter and brian...

Mick fair play to ya thats the best so far god bless you and i hope you get your hole tonight and fishface means that.

GO ON THE FISHFACE!!!!!!! i hope YOU get your hole tonight.

i dunno about woodstar playing a weak gig you can hear what you're dealing with in 2/3 songs. obviously there's something for everyone but theres some people who like flavoured processed philadelphia and then theres people who know their Brie de Meaux. Easi- singles are made and sold because the companies know there are suckers out there who like to try digest that s**t and ruin their health. its the same with music, there are people out there who will swallow that s**t all blue tinted glasses and down on his stratigically placed knees i felt like picking him up and send him home to his mammy you ca be sure she's no philomena lynott, nope didn't light my fire.. so back to getting your hole

ah... different strokes for different folks i've seen them a few times and they've been alot better than that and just cos you dont/didnt like them doesnt mean other folk wont, same with every band

I like Easi Singles*. And to quote Jack Nicholson in 'As Good As It Gets' "People who speak in metaphors should shampoo my crotch." *Only on a cheese burger mind.
