Buck 65 is coming back with a few Irish datesOver Oceans
Lovers,
Is it just me, or has North America gone completely insane in 2012? It’s bonkered. I need a break. I gotta get out of here for a little while. Europe! I’m returning to your embrace! I’ll be playing shows in France, Ireland and the UK in November. Here’s the rundown:
Nov 06 La Maroquinerie – Paris, France
Nov 07 Cyprus Avenue – Cork, Ireland
Nov 08 Roisin Dubh – Galway, Ireland
Nov 09 Sugar Club – Dublin, Ireland
Nov 11 King Tuts – Glasgow, United Kingdom
Nov 12 Deaf Institute – Manchester, United Kingdom
Nov 13 Institute – Temple Bar – Birmingham, United Kingdom
Nov 15 The Haunt – Brighton, United Kingdom
Nov 16 The Garage – London, United Kingdom
I can’t wait. I am currently recording a new album, so these shows will be my first chance to road-test some of the new material. I’ll also be taking your requests. Anything you want. And you’ll get first crack at some exciting new additions to the merchandise table.
As for the rest of Europe – I want you to know that I miss you very much and I’ll be back when the new album is released. I won’t make you wait too long, I promise.
Meanwhile, be sure to follow me on Twitter (@buck65) to stay on top of all the latest developments.
Hint: some special US dates in October will be announced soon.
See you soon.

Travelling up from Waterford ticket-less... I'll get there early, so hopefully someone will be selling a spare.
If anyone here is selling one or two, PM me!

For Macklemore and Ryan Lewis tomorrow, if the doors open at 7, what time should you start queuing up at? Also, would you recommend trying to get up the front in the Academy? I've never been to a gig there before... It's just sometimes when you're right next to the speakers etc. the sound isn't great.
Thanks.

I wouldnt worry too much about q'ing too much. The Academy is normally quite good at filtering people in, I've never had to really stand in a Q as far as I can remember.
Try get in the middle of the floor, its the best spot there. My ears can be a bit sensitive at gigs, and that's my spot there.
It's sold out as well, should be a great night.
...now to get on to my people to try get a spot on the guest list

He jumped into the crowd twice, the second time was from the balcony thing above! :pac: got to meet him and Ryan Lewis afterwards too, a great, great night. You can see how much it means to both of them
Absolutely unreal! The mans gonna be huge. Can't wait for the new album.
... btw anyone who didn't make it to Tower Records missed out bigtime!

I agree with everyone else, the gig was beyond CRAZY. Really amazing show, they're great live.
The only problem was my friends... First, they didn't want to go to Tower Records because then they "wouldn't have enough time to drink"
In hindsight, I should've just went there by myself and that's what I'll do if I'm ever in that situation again, but still...
Next, I wanted to be at the Academy for 7, when the doors opened. I was laughed at for wanting to be there that early and was told that the earliest they were going at was around 8 because, apparently, nobody would there be 'til then and that there was no point in being there at 7... There was no harm in being there for 7 like I wanted, I just didn't see the point in risking getting a bad spot or being down the back. My friends didn't seem to understand this at all Also, I couldn't have just left them and gone to the Academy early like I wanted, because I was the only one who actually knew where The Academy was. In the end, we got there at about 7:50.
I then discovered that the first 100 people through the door got to meet Macklemore and Ryan Lewis after the show (Not us). And through talking to people who got the wrist band for the meet and greet, it was clear that if we had got there at 7 like I wanted, we would've got to meet them. :mad: And when I told my friends that it was their fault, I was to told to "Get over [myself]" and they were coming up with all sorts of sh!t, like saying they would've left whenever I wanted, which was completely untrue. :mad:
I'm a HUGE fan of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis and I would've REALLY REALLY loved to meet them and got a photo etc. Bear in mind, I was the one who introduced Macklemore and Ryan Lewis to my friends, I was the only one who knew where the Academy was and I was the one that bought the tickets and booked the train and the hotel (We're from Cork).
I shall move on, I've learnt my lesson. It won't happen again. As Guru once said "My only crime, was that I'm too damn kind."
As I said already, the gig itself was incredible. Their live show is really great. The best concert I've ever seen. For eg. I went to Wu Tang last year (In Cork), and I love Wu Tang too, but Macklemore and Ryan Lewis was a far far better show. I would definitely recommend going to to see them the next time they come.
Sorry for the long essay and all the CAPITALIZED WORDS. I just wanted to get that off my chest. I'll now look forward to "The Heist" and to getting this.

Thats why I like going to gigs on my own. You can do as you please without worrying about anyone else. Plus more often than not you end up talking to people around you so its not like youre some loner.
Had a nightmare at Noel Gallagher (my favourite artist outside hip hop) was with a few mates who decided to stay in the bar until he came on and then decided to queue for beer when we got into the arena, missed the first few songs. In hindsight I should have just said f*ck yas and went on in myself.0 -

Glad to see others had as good a time as myself at it. I queued up at 6, was second in the queue, doors opened at 7:15....wouldnt let me in without ID, my own fault i suppose even though its been a while since i needed it. had to leg it all the way up o connell street and back for the ID which was in my car and back. went back and had to queue up at almost very end, still got up to the barrier exactly in the middle as most people were at the bar :rolleyes: . the second time Ryan was standing in the crowd he was holding my hand. got to feel the sh!it out of Mack both times he went crowd surfing too. then i remembered in the video for Victory Lap Mack was outside the Academy on a cobbled lane, so after the concert I ran back there with my buddy and met Ryan having a smoke and got to shake his hand and thank him. we then realised we had the meet and greet bands so we ran back again, queued up downstairs with everyone else and got to meet them. got my driving license and ticket signed
fantastic concert, no doubt he'll be back again soon enough.
have the heist pre-ordered a few weeks, got the shipping confirmation yesterday
hella dope!
