Do people think the Arena “can ban”, will be in place for Thursday night, surely not ?

Theres some music & comedy happening Thursday night, but its on within arena boundary in Hazelwood & Salty Dog.

If it is, I'll kick every teenager around the place.

You seem to be a lad that goes to gigs around Galway, were you at a punk gig in a warehouse 2 weeks ago by any chance?

Fever Pitch, yeah. But rained off after twenty minutes. Swirling winds made the stage too hazardous for electrics. Great set up until then. And excellent at Leisureland last December.

When I was 17 I saw Mick and Ash play a trad session on a Wednesday in O Cuiinegans? On shop street.

Nah, literally a punk fest in some warehouse, my young fellas band played and he's organised limericks first ever punk fest for tomorrow.

Very proud daddy.

The Wha playing twice at EP and just announced as support for two door cinema club in belfast and dublin. Their stock is rising since appearing here.

The band used to do jam sessions in The Quays pub a couple of times a week when they lived and recorded in Spiddal in the later 80s to early 90s. A big presence in the town whenever I visited at that time.

Any idea of the name of the place? I didn't spot that being on.

And kudos to your kid.

Lad, I'm so happy about it it's unreal, myself and the missus spent about 3 hours picking albums for him when he was 12, stone roses and Smith's were first 2 in the basket, SLF was a discussion I won and now pays dividends.

My toddler already brainwashed with Suspect Device. Seems to be working.

And you sure this punk warehouse gig was Galway city? I keep an eye on gigs and it hasn't registered. What's his band called?

Touts also doing two sets - Salty Dog & Rankins Woods. This doubling up may account for fewer acts if no more announced.

Poorside · 23-08-2019 10:52PM

Now they are actually taking the piss out of me in the bar Tame Impala Elephant is on,.
So happy I left Florence to see them last time,Let it Happen was just sublime.

Peterd66 · 23-08-2019 10:52PM

The 1975 on now from Redding on BBC iPlayer, Jesus they are crap.
Not a great fan of Charlie XCX style music but she was at least entertaing earlier.

Lad, suspect device is the greatest punk song ever.
Could have been a little bit outside, held about 60 people and was a sweat
box.
Called The Turn, very heavy punk, headlining in Fibbers next Friday.

From the greatest punk album. Better punk bands probably but none made a better album than Inflammible Material.

Wish them luck. If playing Galway again I'll check them out. And who said guitar bands were dead? Never gonna happen.

I was a bit pissed of with them changing salty dog and LBT to can free zones. I think that having a few cans at the salty dog on a Sunday afternoon or at the last gig belting out pogues songs made it a success.
But getting rid of the Heineken cold rooms is too far. I liked having ice cold cans at mid day and getting ready to start the day. I can’t handle warm cans anymore. I will always spend the same in their bars and like the lads said before I’m sure I’ve been robbed before the days of revolut.
I also don’t trust tesco to have unlimited ice. All the talk last year of contactless payments and I remember feeling like John snow at the battle of the bastards at the atm.
Still buzzing for it but this will be my last ep for a long while until they get their **** together and I’ve been to the last 3 and started going in 2009.
Only way they could make it better would be to announce alabama shakesðŸ˜‚
Got a great Pink Floyd dark side of the moon tshirt I will try to fit into!

Haven't done that many gigs in Galway, usually jump on the Citylink to Dublin for the occasional gig, more about festivals these days for me.

Florence has on her website that they're playing on Sunday and Christine & The Queens have on their website that they play Saturday.

I'll never forget the first time I heard that album, the only things that compared for me as a 16 year old were The Stone Roses and then Ten.
Haven't seen SLf, but seen the other 2, my kid has seen SlF and if I could I'd be in Belfast toady SLF and New Model Army are amongst my top 5 bands ever, feck this grown up shïte

I've tried. I've really tried. But they are not good. I am a bit obsessed with Mitski at the mo so whoever recommended her, cheers!

Also I will either be wearing kiss, iron maiden, guns n roses or Otto from the simpsons

23-08-2019 11:26PM

One more for Stillill42. Yet another Irish punk band on the Picnic bill but unsure which stage. The NME did an article on the Irish punk scene in December, focused on four new bands - Fontaines, Just Mustard, Murder Capital and these guys. Worth checking I reckon.
