What time will you guys be on stage. Have to put the kid to bed first, so need to make alternative plans if gig starts around 8 - i.e. couple of laps around Phoenix Park in the afternoon to tire her out early. I'm just so rock n' roll!!!


Can't wait for this.

Good man Flasher! As far as I know for our gig in the Academy there is a strict curfew of 10.15pm in place in the venue, so that would mean we'd have to go on about 8pm to get the full set done. So maybe you'll have to do a few laps in the Pheonix Park or get out the Calpol!

Hope you can make it in anyway, should be a good night.

One more gig to add to the line-up:

On Tuesday December 30th we'll also be playing The Palace on Ludlow Street in Navan, 10pm start time.

We just saw that the Deputy Editor of Kerrang Magazine attended one of our U.K. gigs and had some very kind words to say about the band...

George Garner @Kerrang wrote:

“Pearl Jem are not only the greatest Pearl Jam covers band I could ever expect to witness, they are the greatest covers band I ever expect to see full stop. But that word, ‘covers’ does them an injustice. Pearl Jem are not a mere ‘covers band’. They don’t simply cover Pearl Jam’s songs or imitate them. Everything they do seemingly stems from a profound reverence for Pearl Jam’s history and the art of live performance itself. Pearl Jem tap into Pearl Jam’s spirit.

They honour their complete discography. They play far past the point in the night where many bands fear to. They have a razor-sharp understanding of what these particular songs mean – both to themselves and their audience. They know – like any 10 Club member – that the deep cuts matter as much as, if not more than, the hits. They know it’s ultimately the crowd and their response that will determine the spontaneous new shapes familiar songs will take on any given night. That’s why Pearl Jem are, without a doubt, as close to the real thing as a Pearl Jam fan could ever dream of.”

Hope to see a few of you along the way at our upcoming gigs.

Cool. Thanks. Will definitely make it.
She's only 2 and a half, so Phoenix Park laps would prob be a bit too boot camp ish. But will formulate some cunning plan to get there by 8.
Can't wait.

Getting a gig in Cork since the Cruiscín closed years ago is proving to be a tough task for us Mushy. Been trying for a good while now with no joy so far. We keep sending emails regularly so maybe one of the venues will take a chance with us sooner or later and I'll be posting it here and everywhere I can when that happens.

That's shít to hear Mickey, if it makes any difference the curfew for us on Saturday is a strict 10.15pm so it won't be too late of a night. Have a good one wherever you end up Mickey.

Sorry about the lack of Brain of J, hope you enjoyed the gig anyway zweton.

Just a note for anyone planning on coming to the Academy gig tonight, it is now sold out. We'll be onstage at 7.45, should be a good one.

Tristram

Delighted for you guys that ye sold out. Disappointed I don't have a ticket. Have a great night!

zweton

not at all, savage gig and band.:) was a great night

flasher0030

Wow. Just got my ticket yesterday. Hadn't even thought of it being sold out (no offence intended to the band)– would have been devastated. I feel the excitement as if I will be heading to an actual Pearl Jam show. Only saw Pearl Jam once in the O2 – and was way up the back of the seating area. Still was one of my favourite gigs.

Anyway, will defo be there at 7.45 to rock the evening away (and then head home on Dublin bikes to catch a bit of Match of the day, as only a true rocker would do).
Would love to hear Black live. PJ didn’t play it last time in the O2.

niallam

Awesome.....

That is all.

flasher0030

Jesus, that was the best €12.50 I ever spent. What an enjoyable 2.5 hours. Awesome vocals and instrumentation. Tool a while for us in the crowd to loosen up, but we eventually did.

Anyway, would defo go again to next Dublin gig. Alive was just brilliant.

Mental Mickey

Any videos from the gig?

UsedToWait

What time are yiz on stage at the Spirit Store stankratz?

Keep smoking Billy....
He's the only original member left, bit of an Axl ego I think, PJ and Foos still filling stadiums while Billy, well who actually has heard anything from him in years


On another note I'll see ya's in Navan
