    im going to see them too, should be a class gig, last chance to see them on irish soil too,

    i saw them when they played the music centre last time round, great gig, but i missed way too much of it by being stuck up in the smoking place trying to lie down without holding on

    yeah the music centre gig was fantastic, there was such a great vibe there!
    Hope the Ambassador gig sells out! I'm going to see them start the tour in Glasgow next Friday, happy days.

    Gisli who's supporting them is great as well!

    Blurb
    "An Icelander who lives in Norway; a drummer who now sings, Gisli has been compared to Dinosaur Jr, the Beta Band and called “the Icelandic Beck,” but lists his own heroes as people like Eels, loads of hip-hop and Leonard Nimoy’s Spock. Gisli’s ‘How About That’ album is out now through EMI."

    You gotta be kidding, they suck !!!!

    But then again my flatmate likes them so each to their own.

    Saw them last night in Glasgow, they were fan-****ing-tastic! Played for two hours and they had the 2 drum kits, wha-hay.
    Didn't see the support band though.

    Saw them in the red box years back and they were great. I hope to record it if I can get a decent microphone for my iRiver. If the recording comes out well I'll be emailing the mp3s to my mates so you can pm me your email if you want a CC, no promises though, have to find a microphone first.

    That would be cool, rubadub.
    Have you got your ticket yet, I heard there's not a lot left


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,386 ✭✭✭✭rubadub

    They didn't sell out the last gig in the summer til a few days before the gig.
