    I presume ticketmaster? Can't seem to find any details apart from a vague hot press article.

    And yes, yes it is. I realise now that, taken out of context, it actually sounds slightly creepy if the 'easy' bit is viewed as descriptive, and so i appreciate when someone gets it!

    Yes ticketmaster.

    As long as there's no repeat of the school bus or Dimfus burger we're ok.

    Apparently Supertroopers 2 is getting made this summer...

    yeah, they've been class since the first album. about time they blew up. don't think they'll be playing much from them though. saw them in workman's club in 2010 and they played most of on the water and beach foam and little dreamer from the first.

    Were they good?

    at that gig they played pretty much In evening air and some songs off On the water as it wasn't out yet I think? Memory fading....

    They played pretty much all of On the water at their whelans gig in 2012.


    It will hopefully be a killer show, I can't wait for it.

    Second gig is down to it's last 500 tickets too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭StickyMcGinty


    Here's a pretty cool performance from them in a record store in LA - was shot in 2010 so nothing from the new album, gives you a good idea of their earlier stuff



    By the way, that Coachella video was taken down from YouTube, if anyone knows where there's a rip of it or another link let me know would love to give it another watch!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,751 ✭✭✭MyPeopleDrankTheSoup




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭StickyMcGinty



    Nice one, was having a serious scout for that with no joy!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,033 ✭✭✭who_ru


    Got a ticket for the Monday night earlier today.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,064 ✭✭✭poundhound


    Ticket acquired.

    Really looking forward to this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,951 ✭✭✭dixiefly

    thanks

    well you could try Toutless and a few prayers. I'd love a ticket also but I wouldn't pay above the face value for a ticket no matter how much I wanted to see a band.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,064 ✭✭✭poundhound


    Toutless is inundated with people looking for tickets for these shows.

    What I would say is given the low ticket price for these gigs €25, it would still be worth paying over the odds.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭StickyMcGinty


    Only a week and a half till this...

    Was checking out their fantastic 4AD sets today, couple of Islands songs with a brass and string arrangement...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,026 ✭✭✭whatever76
