Who's going to the SLF gig on Friday... I know I am

And I've just been listening to the Dangerfields for the first time and have to say they're pretty excellent so will be a good night.

ANarcho-Munk · 11-12-2005 06:26PM

*steals NotMe's identity*

Will be there.

0utshined · 11-12-2005 06:44PM

I'm going to the gig on Thursday in Naas. Looking forward to this one.

Frank Cronin · 12-12-2005 01:23AM

You know this will rock, Drummer-lead-singers only add to the mix - 2 nordie bands for the price of one, get there early as there is another show in the Village that night!

Later.

Stiff Little Fingers
+ special guests THE DANGERFIELDS

The Village, Friday 16th of December
Doors 7.30pm
€22.50 www.tickets.ie

Stiff Little Fingers (Jake Burns, Bruce Foxton, Ian McCallum and Steve Grantley) will ignite The Village on Friday December 16th when they unleash their punk energy, as part of their current tour.

Taking their name from a song by The Vibrators, Stiff Little Fingers were formed in Belfast in 1977 and have become one of the best bands to emerge from Ireland. With punk rock classics such as 'Suspect Device', 'Wasted Life' and of course 'Alternative Ulster', with their infectious energy and distorted guitar hooks, SLF have been a major influence on bands such as Green Day, Bad Religion, Sugar, Rancid and fellow Ulster band Therapy.

This is going to be an explosive night of punk rock energy - a night that should not be missed! Expect to hear some of the old favourites. There'll be 'no sleep 'til Belfast!'.

Buy online www.tickets.ie WAV box office, The Sound Cellar, City Disks and Road Records.

SLF are well well past it and the Village sucks as a venue.

Frank Cronin · 12-12-2005 01:24PM

Each to their own, there are issues with the venue though.

ShayHT · 12-12-2005 02:19PM

Shame on you!!

U know I speak thy truth

I mean the state of them in their makey up footy tops and they play really soft stuff now.
I watched the original Fingers and they were so more hard edged and Jakes voice was far gruffier.

Dangerfields are pretty good - seriously hard-edged stuff. Shame about the Stiff Little Fingers - I have yet to hear anyone who's seen them in the last few years say anything good about them, so I'm not going. Ignorance > Bitter Disappointment

I'm not a big SLF fan (never really heard any of their stuff) but I saw them in TBMC last year and thought they were pretty good.

tbh.

Anarchist · 12-12-2005 05:32PM

Yes but you never seen them when they were at their peak, also I still havn't found my duo card that u lost :mad:

Ro: maaan! · 12-12-2005 06:26PM

I've liked all their shows I've been at.

dregin · 12-12-2005 11:00PM

I have a DVD of a recent enough show in London and it's ****e. They were class last year in TBMC though. Didnt even know I had a ticket until this weekend.

My ****ing computer is spewing smoke..............

I'll dig up the log of me asking you will I buy you one and you saying yes if you want....

dregin · 13-12-2005 12:27AM

Oh. I nose I did. Just completely forgot about it.

So how many of the boards people are headin to this? Wanna make it a boards beer kinda thing? Just meetup and get to know each other...

By getting to know each other I mean everyone find out what anarcho looks like and beat the living ****e out of his sheep

Ro: maaan! · 13-12-2005 12:58AM

Yea. Make yerselves known. I'll be the guy with the **** mohawk hanging around the landmark.

ANarcho-Munk · 13-12-2005 07:05PM

I'll be the guy with the compass trying to locate the landmark.

Anyways.... is this gig an over 18's event?

Just like everything else in the Village.

ANarcho-Munk · 13-12-2005 07:50PM

Not being old enough to drink must be the crappiest excuse ever to not be able to get into a gig.

****

Ro: maaan! · 13-12-2005 07:59PM

I know. It's stupid.

ANarcho-Munk · 13-12-2005 10:46PM

Even if they put a big X on me forehead i wouldn't mind.

dregin · 13-12-2005 11:08PM

**** sake lads. Think about it. If a gig's all ages that means there's gonna be more people not drinking and therefor less space for those stupid enoug (me) to pay ****ing ridiculous amounts of money for complete piss.

Gimme the €3 Bavaria in bohs any ****in day. No matter what anyone says about bavaria, it's excellent down there.

Good gig. Not as good as last years. Also, Village is crap. Nice toilets though.

Why was the Basta Youth thread locked?

Frank Cronin · 19-12-2005 11:57PM

Great show, I have seen them so many times over the years, never fail to deliver!

Johnny Jukebox · 20-12-2005 11:35AM

Yes, thats how to do it alright.

Security was a bit OTT and frankly deserved a few thumps for their heavy handedness. They would'nt have got away with it back in the old days

Why I refuse to go to big venues, biggest venue I will go to now would be the size of The Voodoo

fck bouncers

NotMe · 23-12-2005 09:39PM

Was a great gig.. support band weren't great and I agree about the bouncer in front of the stage was a right prick. SLF were quality though.:)

Ro: maaan! · 24-12-2005 04:10PM

Danger ****in' Fields... They were good.

NotMe · 24-12-2005 11:22PM

Danger Fields didn't do it for me.. for some reason. And I'd been listening to their stuff all the week before and really like it: (see :P http://www.last.fm/user/NotMe_). But I only saw their last few songs and didn't recognise any of them.
