    I heard about this yesterday, I heard it was only rumour though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,832 ✭✭✭CountingCrows


    You could be right - I think there might be a DJ setup with the same name, hopefully not...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,589 ✭✭✭Hail 2 Da Chimp


    I heard it was the singer of Snow Patrol with a diferent band or summit...

    Snowpatrol make the most mind numbingly dull & depressing music I've ever heard. If Coldplay are a poor man's version of U2 in 'over the top stadium-rock mode', Snowpatrol are a poor man's version of Coldplay.

    If they come to Sligo, I'm moving to Bundoran.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,206 ✭✭✭gustavo


    It's them but just a d.j set by two of the lads apparently

    Someone with no taste and wanting to move to Bundoran.... sounds like a match made in heaven :rolleyes:

    I'd rather be impaled than move to Bundoran, but if it were to get away from Snowpatrol, I would do it.

    Maybe we could cordon off a no-go area of Sligo were Snow Patrol would be forbidden to enter.

    Exile to Bundoran is a fate worse than death..

    I'm sure they feel the same!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,676 ✭✭✭✭smashey


    Right, listen to me and listen carefully.

    If you Sligonians get in a huff, Donegal isn't your wee bolt hole.

    Okay? :D

    Or just send them to Bundoran - their depressing music would suit the town to a tee. :D

    No.You.Wouldnt.

    Anyone notice the Weekender giving the impression that it's an actual gig rather than a d.j set

    *fervently starts praying they're coming to Sligo! :rolleyes:

    Does anyone know if it's true or not yet?

    I live in town but I never hear anything! :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce

    Just an idea...... why don't you just ....ehm.... not go to the gig? ;)

    From the Weekender:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,195 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Heard about this day... thought it was horse-crap to be honest!

    If they had a new album and they were promoting it.. fair enough. They'd play some smaller gigs to get in the news but they're still only writing their follow up to the last album.

    Odd but judging by the Weekender, it is simply a DJ set by 3 of the members but i'd expect a few Snow Patrol tracks thrown in alright.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,632 ✭✭✭SligoBrewer


    I would go but meh, too much hassle.

    I already thoroughly enjoyed the Futureheads and I must say that since the Clarence re-opened I'm suprised by the calibur of act coming there. Even if it just a DJ-set, I suppose it is some of Snow Patrol playing in Sligo. If it was by a more dancey indie band like the Klaxons, then fo' sho' I'd try and get in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,023 ✭✭✭il gatto


    Didn't Snow Patrol play in Sligo before? In McGarrigle's. I don't care. I haven't liked them since the first album anyway. Apart from "Chocolate". That's not bad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,195 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Yeah, they played McGarrigle's around the time 'Final Straw' was released.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 341 ✭✭nicolaonfire


    It is a DJ set.
    It will Be Gary Lightbody (singer), Tom Simpson (Keyboardist) and Jonny (drummer).

    Can't wait


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,164 ✭✭✭Konata

    If they were playing a live show I would definately be there but I'm not to keen on a DJ set so I wont be going.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 341 ✭✭nicolaonfire

    Anyone going?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,632 ✭✭✭SligoBrewer

    No. Too much hassle for a Dj set.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 341 ✭✭nicolaonfire

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 341 ✭✭nicolaonfire


    Well they actually played a really wide range, something for everyone really. Best music I have heard in any venue in Sligo before.
