The Magic Band make their debut Irish appearance this friday. Reunited in 2001, the band will be performing music from all the albums they created with Captain Beefheart (who retired from music in 1982, and sadly passed away in 2010), from 1967's "Safe as Milk" onwards. Don't miss this rare opportunity to witness this incredible event.
This preformance will feature:
John “Drumbo” French, Vocals, harmonica & drums
Denny “Feelers Rebo” Walley, Slide guitar
Mark “Rocket Morton” Boston, Bass
Eric Klerks , guitar
Craig Bunch, drums

Some other People's thought's on the reformed Magic band:
For those who have yet to experience the Magic Band's truly ambitious weirdness, these shows will astonish you. And for tried and true Beefheart fans like me, these are deliriously momentous occasions with maybe a nostalgic, avant-garde sniffle or two
Matt Groening (creator of The Simpsons)


John Peel was initially skeptical about the re-formed Magic Band. He played a live recording of the band recorded at the 2003 All Tomorrows Parties festival on his radio show; afterwards he couldn't speak and had to put on another record to regain his composure..

Gig tonight in Roisin Dubh Galway tonight with the Frank and Walters, the Deprivations, Elaine Mai and Rams Pocket Radio. Apply through Hotpress.com for free tickets. Just after getting two there. Handy out.

This might prove a useful thread.
Tips for upcoming gigs/discussion and reviews of gigs attended welcomed.
Obviously we want to avoid mass duplication of the Gig/Events forum so keep on-topic which I know most will.Those gigs where you pay a ten or twenty quid and see something great are by far my fav type of Gig.
Anyway first up am curious to hear How Animal Collective gig last night went down..Anyone go?

I was there, immense.
The entire place sat on the floor for the intro of My Girls, then lepped up when it kicked off. Amazing.

Found that kind of embarrassing myself.

Going to see Matt Corby next Weds in Whelan's. Ozzie dude, think he came 3rd on Australia X factor a few years back but has slightly reinvented himself as an excellent singer/songwriter. Not sure what sort of crowd is going to be there.

This song, in particular, is amazing. One of my favourite songs over the past year.

Stompbox

Yeah, the Animal Collective gig was excellent. The songs off 'Centipede Hz' translated really well (particularly the spikier, beat-driven tunes like 'Moonjock' and 'Today's Supernatural) and while the musical interludes between songs did drag at times, the soundscapes they produced were astonishing. There was a bittersweet realisation though that the gig only really took legs when they played the MPP cuts ('Brothersport' was spectacular).

Were Prince Rama supporting when you guys saw Animal Collective? If so, what did you think of them?

Threads merged.

I have a very busy gig month ahead of me!
-Passion Pit at the Olympia 11/11
-Citizens! at Academy 2 12/11
-Keane at the Olympia 21/11
-Shearwater at Button Factory 28/11
-Purity Ring at Button Factory 29/11
-Wild Nothing at Workman's Club 01/12

The last two are those I anticipate the most: I've half-seen Purity Ring at Forbidden Fruit and found them quite interesting and Wild Nothing's Nocturne is one of my favourite albums this year.

Exitmusic playing Whelans this Saturday 10/11. Cracking little band!

The Dirty Three are playing The Button Factory on Nov 23rd. Guaranteed stormer of a gig.

Got tickets for Turn's last tour. Unfortunately I'm only in Ireland for the Cork date on Dec 27 so have to travel to bandit country for it

Ah well, just glad I can catch them on my trip home and at 15 euro it's a snip. One of my favourite ever Irish bands.

From what I've heard Deakin thought it was rather cool and was blown away by it.

Shockin easy to embarrass you. Did you stand at the back, arms folded appreciating the time signatures?

Desperately wanted Moonjock as the opener, with the "This is the news...9-8-7-6.." intro. Chcked setlist fm before the gig so I was ready for Rosie Oh, odd choice I think.

Looking forward to this one

Where'd you hear that out of interest? I did see a smile break over his face during that start of the sit-down.

It was actually class. Unexpected and the band obviously enjoyed it.....as did the majority of the crowd. An it was a brilliant gig.

The Ambience Affair where excellent as the support band,the trio from Meath had a lot of stage energy,great vocal delivery and a very 'enthusiastic' drummer. Exitmusic where a real tour de force. Aleksa Palladino has an amazing voice,passage was my highlight of the show.Finished too soon is my only real complaint.

Anybody going to Destroyer in Whelan's Thursday night?
Haven't seen them mentioned on this forum ... Kaputt is a fantastic album

Gonzovision

Looking forward to Fr. John Misty tonight. Should be a really good gig.
