Hello Darklings in Manchester, Newcastle, Cambridge and Dublin. Just a few words to let you know that those shows are virtually SOLD OUT now! Dr Rad & Nurse Wendy inform us that there is about 20 tickets left for each of those gigs. If you are looking to come to any of them, and you own a pair of skates, we recommend you strap em on and get yourself sorted sharpish! x x

Got a bit of a scare when i checked my ticketmaster order history and it said i had bought a ticket to the Savoy date instead of the dublin show:eek::eek: but luckily i checked my email confirmation and it said i got tickets to the Dublin date :D

Anyone recieved their tickets?

G-Money

Wouldn't mind going to this but only if I can get a standing ticket. Any idea if they will release any more? I've been searching several times each day with no luck.

StaticAge11

Tickets arrived yesterday, Boom.

G-Money

Anyone else go to see these guys? I went to see them last night in the Olympia, great concert. They said they will be releasing a new album next year and are coming back then and mentioned doing two gigs.

The Olympia is a great place to see gigs, I don't know why I like it so much but I do

The show was amazing, their version of street spirit was fantastic

Loved the gig from start to finish . I was glad that there was not pit so you could move around and have a decent view instead of being stuck behind the pit barriers. The new songs sound good aswell and extremely happy they played Christmas Time :D

There was a pit though - it was wristband access only and only given to 150 people. He was carried around it when he got on the security guy's shoulders at the end of the last song!

Anyway, here's some photos of it

Really?

I was about 3 feet away from him when they were carrying him around and I had no wristband of any description. I didn't see any on anyone else or anyone checking either.

You got lucky then!

There were at least 5 security guards checking bands. The first guy who crowdsurfed was at them all night to let him in and he didn't have one - he nearly got a hiding for not letting it go.

It's the same in every gig in the Olympia. First 150 people there get the band and can get up front no questions asked.

Yea same , was i just inline with where the pit "usually" starts and there was none . People were walking in and out all night it made it a lot better . It was'nt as squashy as it usually is

G-Money

I suppose its impossible to get into one of those private boxes without some sort of VIP pass?

Lpfsox

saw some of the lads from Dead Cat Bounce in one of the boxes.

It was a fantastic gig, better even than their gig in the Point a few years back. Can't wait for their next tour (as promised!!)

The pit was further in, it's very narrow in the Olympia.

Great gig, they're well and truly back. Crowd was great too. I agree with the poster who said it was better than the Point gig in 2006, but then that gig was a large bust (ho ho ho!)

Was a great gig on Sat, really fun and a good atmosphere, looking forward to them coming back again next year......

here's a vid I took of Get Your Hands Off My Woman for anyone interested....

Cool video, although just reminds me how cringey the olé, olé singing at the end was. Fúckin hate how people do it over here as if it's somehow part of irish culture.

It's just bloody pathetic at this stage.

G-Money

Looking forward to these guys coming back. Hoping they come to the Olympia again. I went to see Noel Gallagher in the Olympia in October and I have to admit, I think these guys were better and Oasis have been my favourite band for years!

NIBBS

@Lpfsox - sorry, only the one video - was really enjoying the gig.....

@G-Money - love the pics, great shots, will try and post a few later if I get a minute...

@everyone - comepletely agress with the hatred for Ole Ole........does my head in....
