are playing the village on the 10th of may

oh yes....

do they have a new album coming out or something???

Damon_Kind

No new album. I heard they are a bit ****ign broke after setting up their own label and need to tour to live and breathe.

Poor guys.

I'll be seeing you through a haze later mick.

knobbles

new album out in june according to pitchforkmedia.com

i like having a listen to the material before i see it live
but then again there was that sigur ros song that blew
everyone away - may not have been as exciting if we know what
happens next!

anyway, the little mean fiddler was great for big gigs,
should be deadly, here's that article

Mewzel

whereaboots is the village?

knobbles

formerly known as Mono, formely known as The Mean Fiddler.
the one beside Whelans

Tyrrial

i was also wondering about the village...
how long has it been there?
do people know what the venue itself is like?

BrianD

Hasn't opened yet ... the hoarding is still up around it. Supposed to be two venues in one. Live and club.

knobbles

what do you mean two venues?
bar downstairs, venue upstairs?
or
it's gonna have clubnights as well as gigs.

that mono club was a load of bollox

Damon_Kind

In its day, the Mean Fiddler was ****ing great.

Monkey

I was in the Mean Fiddler in London the weekend before last and it was brilliant.

It really showed Whelans as the pile of ****e that it really is.

Kali

this should be a good gig alright.. and Yo La Tengo 5 days before it

Damon_Kind

Tickets are seeling very fast, apparently, so best not be sitting on your trickle tubes much longer.

Mewzel

knobbles

o sleep

sound cellar it is then ... anybody know why there are such differences in the price?? i mean between road and sound cellar

Tyrrial

maybe road need the money?

Reno Raines

bring earplugs fair friends for they are the loudest band this side of roscommon. two rights make one wrong.

well, if that were true, i'd buy them from road, but (a) i already buy most of my stuff from there anyway and (b) i'll bet they make **** loads more than sound cellar (which is a good thing)

i don't know what all this talk of ear plugs is for. they're loud but they're not *that* loud

knobbles

i heard that a main stage act at one of the british festivals complained about the noise from one of the small tents in another field during their own set.....mogwai were the guilty party.
now, don't say you weren't warned!!!
apparently they sell earplugs at their gigs anyway.

polarbelly

i got my tick for mogwai today

22 eurons at the ticket place in st. stephens green

yay

Tyrrial

well, maybe road don'y need the money but i think that they should still have it to promote more great dublin bands!

so in conclution i like road and i'll pay the extra few bob there:rolleyes:

Reno Raines

saw them last time in the olympia and i swear to jasus my ears were ringing for bout 2 days.only joking though, wouldnt bring ear plugs. they ended on "my father my king" and there were actually people dancing to it (the francis begbie bad ass heavy part that is). these people truly were masters of the get down.
