Final Fantasy is coming back!

catch--22 · 30-10-2007 11:53am #1

Leagues O'Toole announced on Phantom 105.2 last night that Foggy Notions are bringing Final Fantasy back in the next month or two. Sorry but I can't remember date or venue!

I missed him at the Picnic but I won't be missing this one!

I'll update with details as soon as I find them!

MikeHoncho · 30-10-2007 12:54pm

I missed him at the picnic too. Will defo hit this if he comes over. I really hope he actually poos a cloud on stage. That would be funny as hell.:D

Zapp Brannigan · 30-10-2007 12:59pm

OMG! :eek:
Will definitely be there, he was the best act at the Picnic imo.
Just doing a quick look on his myspace and he's playing in America until the 20th of november, so hopefully he'll be over before christmas.

lordgoat · 30-10-2007 1:08pm

Once again, excellent

Toast · 30-10-2007 2:39pm

Anything more concrete on this? Internet has nothing.

garthv · 30-10-2007 4:31pm

Aye, a bit of evidence wouldn't go astray

catch--22 · 30-10-2007 4:40pm

I heard it from the promoter’s mouth...as far as I know press release was coming out today. So should be something around tomorrow. But rest assured it's true.

Mr Rivers · 31-10-2007 3:52pm

I haven't missed a FF date so far and this won't be any different!

Static M.e. · 31-10-2007 4:59pm

Cant find any more information on this online, might try and email Phantom and see what I can find out

Jim · 31-10-2007 6:44pm

Hope to god I'm back in Ireland for this.

Toast · 01-11-2007 1:02am

Its December 11th in Vicar St. €22.50.

Static M.e. · 01-11-2007 10:22am

Good work guys, thanks.

See you all then!

Zapp Brannigan · 01-11-2007 9:46pm

Coola boola, great venue for him!

honru · 02-11-2007 2:53am

I would have been interested, only it's on the same night as High on Fire/Pelican and A Hack and a Hacksaw...

Toast · 02-11-2007 10:11am

Hawk and Hacksaw arent really that good but its unfortunate about the Pelican clash but, having seen both, Final Fantasy will get my repeat custom.

Zapp Brannigan · 05-11-2007 7:29pm

Just a heads up. Tix are on sale tomorrow!

Aye, I bought my Pelican ticket as soon as they came on sale, wouldnt mind catching Owen Pallett again though. Sticking with Pelican after the performance at Primavera this year!

Tickets have been on sale since last wednesday from Wav ticket box on 1890 200078. Its also cheaper if you buy them from Wav and more money goes to the promoter rather than ticketmaster so everyone wins (you, the promoter, society).

Zapp Brannigan · 06-11-2007 4:09pm

Got my ticket, looking forward to this now! But am I the only one who'd prefer a table gig?

Toast · 06-11-2007 6:13pm

If by that you mean that it will be four seats and a table Im pretty sure thats what its going to be.

Jim · 06-11-2007 6:25pm

The tickets say Ground, Unreserved. Usually when theres tables it gives you a table number.

Zapp Brannigan · 06-11-2007 9:48pm

Yeah its standing. Still I was standing at the picnic and there was a cool vibe so it'll be good in Vicar St aswell.

catch--22 · 07-11-2007 11:14am

Got mine at last! Phew!

johnny_ultimate · 07-11-2007 11:24am

Thanks for the heads up guys. Just got my tickets there. I wouldn't be as big a fan as some of you guys, but I do like him a lot, and I have heard from numerous reliable sources that he is the best live act around.

Get to see for myself now

JustCoz · 07-11-2007 5:01pm

He was great at EP would love to see him again

He's certainly up there with the best.

Nope, it's unreserved seating

Really? I shall be there early so!

Toast · 11-11-2007 5:05am

Well done Rivers.. now they all know to come down early for good seats.. I wanted them for myself. :mad:

Mwahahaha, I'm gonna sit right next to you and talk during all the songs but the popular ones*

*if these such people show up I will kill them

honru · 19-11-2007 11:09pm

A Hawk and a Hacksaw confirmed as support; they've cancelled their afformented Crawdaddy gig on the same night.

Tempting now... so it's either this or High on Fire/Pelican...

Toast · 20-11-2007 12:37am

Miracle Fortress are still playing... Was worried they got bumped for Hawk and a Hacksaw. The addition is a nice bonus I guess though Im not sold on their recorded stuff which sounds like a poor mans Beirut.

I'll be expected cupcakes.

lordgoat · 04-12-2007 12:47pm

Cupcakes all round i hope!

Toast · 04-12-2007 1:03pm

Ground floor is sold out on ticketmaster. Pretty amazing stuff!

lordgoat · 04-12-2007 1:26pm

Assholes better send me out my ticket, i just emailed them a few mins ago, saying eh - where's my ticket like? (i ordered it about a month ago)

Doesn't sound too good, I got my three around 4 days after I ordered them. :eek:

Mothersuckers. I have a confirmation email and i'll give em a ring tommorrow.
IF not i'll be the angry boy outside looking to buy a ticket from anyone not a tout.

catch--22 · 04-12-2007 8:52pm

If they don't arrive they cancel them and issue you new ones which you collect using the credit card you booked the originals on. So no panic really!

johnny_ultimate · 05-12-2007 6:26pm

Actually getting quite hyped about this. Haven't been to a good gig in quite a few months, so hopefully this'll be a decent one.

Just out of curiosity for those who have seen the man before, what kind of backing band (if any) does he tend to travel with?

Zapp Brannigan · 05-12-2007 6:35pm

No backing band. It's just him and a loop pedal.

Jim · 05-12-2007 9:51pm

The best thing about him tbh.

lordgoat · 05-12-2007 10:11pm

sometimes a string quartet!

Toast · 05-12-2007 10:21pm

He hasnt played with the string quartet in quite sometime and apparently he was unhappy with them so is unlikely to ever use one again.

Occasionaly his boyfriend drums with him but hes really loud and unsubtle and usually subtracts from the performance so hopefully he wont show. Also occasionaly he has a projectionist who will use an overhead projector and acetate to make on the fly visualisations. Shes pretty fun to watch so I hope shes at this show.

However its most likely it will just be him at this date seeing as its a one off appearance that himself and Foggy Notions were able to arrange.

lordgoat · 05-12-2007 11:46pm

Have you heard the butcher yet? I think it's a relatively new song... trés good.

Toast · 06-12-2007 1:26am

Ive heard it but it doesnt come to mind. Ive quite a few bootlegs with several new songs on them. His cover of Paris 1919 keeps getting stuck in my head.

lordgoat · 11-12-2007 3:57pm

See ye all there. No thanks to ticketmaster. I hate them.

johnny_ultimate · 12-12-2007 12:53am

Wow. Pretty terrific gig. Didn't know if it would live up to the hype - my cousin actually said he wept last time he saw it. While I didn't break down in tears at any points, I was engrossed throughout. Really fascinating what one musician can do when he puts his mind to it. Kinda destroyed my anti-memory pedal bias as well, which believe me was quite strong up until this evening.

Highlights: the usual greats (This Lamb Sells Condos the natural highlight, because I adore that song) were actually often surpassed by the freshness of the new songs and covers. Thought the second encore Bloc Party cover in particular was first rate. Glad he played Cliqout too, as Im a Beirut fan as well.

And surprise of the night to Miracle Fortress. Id heard them on Myspace and liked them, but they were superb live (especially the double percussion). Picked up the CD and looking foward to giving it a listen!

Final Fantasy is coming back!
