Alkaline Trio gig

Den_M

The Alkaline Trio are playing the Ambassador on Thursday February 23rd.
No idea who's supporting. Over 14's apparently and no bar.

Ro: maaan!

No drink at all? That's odd. Even more odd that it would be over 14's. Surely any age can go if they're accompanied...?

Den_M

Probably. That's just what it says on my ticket. I don't think there's going to be any 13 year olds getting worried about not being able to go.

It's probably true about the bar being closed though. I 'll have to get a few drinks in beforehand.

Ro: maaan!

It was done well at Green Day. Only drink allowed upstairs. And no underagers allowed up there.

Den_M

Would you need a balcony ticket then? Mine's standing. I wanna be up the front jumping all over the shop.

You've run into security at the ambassador before then?

Den_M

I've been there a few times now. It seems that they leave you alone as long as you aren't pushing people around or being awkward/dangerous.

was at biffy clyro in TBMC in december which was an over 14's gig, place was full of them.

show an id to the ticket guy, you get wristband and then you get served.

does it actually say no alcohol on the ticket? if so that's pretty ****ty (done in city wok owners voice)

Ah right. I took "jumping all over the shop" as meaning circle pit action. They don't like that at all down them there parts.

Ro: maaan!

They leave you alone if there are more than 2 people doing what you're doing.

Just to reference the Green Day comment,at that gig it was run very well,but i was only 15 and i was on the balcony so....

I have standing tickets for this and i cant wait

Ro: maaan!

Meh. Doesn't matter. All I was saying was that underagers could go to the gig, and people over 18 could drink if they wanted.

qz

Drink or no drink, should be a good gig. Wait, yeah I actually meant drink or drink.

xIsabelx

I'm going, but I'm not in to them that much :v: My friend is REALLY in to them and he got the tickets...we got numbers 5,6, and 7 lol

I was pissed that I didn't get to see them that time. Must have been great.

Ro: maaan!

Have had two of their albums for a while. Never listened to them. Listening now. Can't say I'm that impressed yet. But I've heard some very good things about them over the years, so I'll give it another while. I'd say it would be worth going just for Private Eye though. I had that song on my 64MB mp3 player for about a year when it first came out.

ferdi

they can take some getting into. i really like their energy,delivery.

great drummer and bass player.

I've only got into Alkaline Trio recently and I'm impressed by what I've listened to but the fact that there is gonna be tonnes of 14 year olds there turns me off going to it tbh. Lack of alcohol has convinced me even further.

I'm not looking forward to that either. The CKY gig last year was like a creche or something. I felt like the oldest swinger in town at 21.

So who all on Boards is going?

Well I suppose I was being a bit pessimistic there...they're not bad...I suppose...they better not be doing all that acoustic **** though.

StJimmy

Also...who the **** is supporting?

carpothepunk

A band called The Zico Chain,theyre crap to be honest

Yeah...see what ya mean. His voice is annoying.

Den_M

Carpothepunk, could I be a son of a bitch and ask you to get something signed also? I haven't got any of my Trio albums with me but a signed guitar strings packet or something else I could rummage up would be cool.

carpothepunk

ferdi

disappointing.

they murdered several songs, including radio.

the sound was brutal and not in a good way.

tbmc gig was way better

StJimmy

Pretty good gig, much better than I was expecting, just a pitty about the sound though.

I thought the high-lights were: Burn, Private Eye, This Could Be Love and Maybe I'll Catch Fire.

It sucked that they didn't play Armageddon though!
