Recommendations for March 2nd

mrswalton

Please help.

I got my husband tickets for Killing Joke Friday 2nd March. He was delighted with them. Booked and paid for hotel.

Gig was cancelled, but we plan on still going to Dublin. Would love to surprise him with alternative punk evening.

Any suggestions?

Looks good but we're still looking for bigger live gig rather then for dj-party..

There're two bands playing at that. To quote the event page:

FOAD PRESENTS:
A NIGHT OF POST PUNK & ELECTRO EIGHTIES

BANDS: The Crows (UK) & The Statics
DJ: The Master Switch
ADMISSION: Free
TIME: 8PM

True..i saw that..but it still seems more like "dj" party rather then live band show..moreover i never heard crows or statics so i don't know what to expect..hope they are worth my visitors time;)
but from the other side i know that it may be hard to find good enough substitute for KJ

To be honest, I usually know about any punk gig going on in the city and there's nothing else on that night. He does list Killing Joke as one of the bands they DJ, so I'd assume that the bands playing live are along a similar vein

OMG, that is perfect!! Thankyou so much, i would never have found it. Were only travelling from Wicklow, not Poland.

Sure what have we got to loose....FREE. We'll drink the price of the tickets and have a nice meal somewhere.

If you go, look out for us, we may well be the oldest couple there, and i am likely to have earplugs in.

I might ring the venue and ask regarding timing of live bands.

Never mind...all in the name of love. Thanks again.

You're welcome.
at the moment i'm not sure if we're going for this gig..
one of my friends already postponed his flight and he's coming in april..
no killing joke = no pressure to come at this time..
the second one would like to go for some trip around ireland. don't know yet where and for how long.probably belfast or cork. he's already been in dublin twice...we will see what happens..
of course we can have a pint together if we arrive to sweeneys..

BTW.Dregin - nice collection of local bands!!!
