The Murder Capital, Vicar Street, Feb 27th

What's the deal with this, lads? Appears to be sold out on Ticketmaster but I can't find hide nor hair of it on Toutless or even on Adverts. I thought I'd be ok for a late ticket but it appears their upward spiral has got the better of me. Has it sold out?

Band announced that all tickets were sold a few weeks back. Guess best bet is to keep an eye on Toutless.


I'm looking forward to this gig, seen them four times already and always class.

Cheers. Yeah, I've seen them 4 times myself. I love a lot of their stuff. The last time I saw them was at ATN, though and I'd love to see them lose the amateur dramatics, the fags, the sitting around the stage etc. Anyway, I'll keep my eye out.

Fontaines DC tickets were surprisingly easy to get outside on both nights recently, I don't think these will be too extortionate*

*Not a recommendation for people to buy from touts, just a personal observation

Theyre set at ATN was insane. Was studying in germany past three months so wasnt spending alot of money. Assumed could pick up ticket easily noe theyre sold out. If anyones has spares let me know

Was actually a bit let down by them at ATN. Big fan but they were a bit flat. Although maybe that was the crowd in general cos of the traffic. Much more suited to an indoor venue tbh

Just started listening to their album 2 weeks ago. Wow, First listen or 2 was a bit meh. But I kept at it; figured that there must be substance to it. What an album. Best album I've heard by an Irish band for some time now.
Love Feeling fades. What a tune. Hope to pick up a ticket for Vicar. Will head along on the night anyway to see if anything going outside.
Lovely to listen to an album where there is no real filler.
Fair dues.

If you're on facebook there's a group called "feeling fades", I've seen a few tickets for Vicar St advertised there.

Will do. Thanks.
Had a look at previous setlists. They only play 9 songs?? Shortest headline gig ever ??? In any case, I'm more for quality over quantity.

Three support acts in Vicar St, their set probably will still just be the 9 songs but hopefully the crowd will be appreciative...

Spoken word act. Played before the button factory gig. Very good and funny, especially if you're from the same area.

Stillill42

Well the good news is I'm sorted. This should be a great night. Junior brother on at 7.30, it seems. A full 2 hours before the lads hit the stage.

Shout out unorthodox coolock. He was brilliant at the button factory

Yeah, had a look at him on YouTube, looking forward to seeing him live.

I always get a bit anxious at spoken word acts, hoping arseholes don't ruin it. The crowd has alot less power when they can be drowned out by drums or guitar if necessary

Stillill42

**** me.

Those boys are getting better. Mental gig. People won't believe me when I tell them I saw Junor Brother crowd-surfing. Brilliant night, every act great. What a varied evening's entertainment.

I may have been the only one there who didn't crowd surf at some point.

Missed these lads this week but hoping for a good show from them at the Rock Against Homelessness gig on Tuesday. Like another poster, the album gets better with every listen.
