    Pogues on the 9th December ..with special guests . Would think the Mary Wallopers (or part of ) would be some of the guests ? Look to be free that night .

    So maybe get your hit of MW that night and go to Madra Salach the night after ?

    I decided Boko Yout deserved some more promotion. Here's what everyone here said after they played Borderline in Feb...

    Me: Boko Yout were something else though, absolute blast!

    Stillill42: Oh Boko Yout out of this world! What a front man!

    Gloomtastic: Boko Yout put 120% in and got 110% out. What a set!!!!!

    Pudsy33: Boko Yout were fantastic. After the first song I didn't think it would be for me but jesus I was wrong, their infectious energy just pulls you in.

    Trust us 😉

    Fair play to The Mary Wallopers and hope it sells well for them, there 'act' may be that of 'the stupid culchie' but there no idiots. Only ever saw them at the Pogues thing in 2024 and the crowd loved them.

    December is the new June, have Shinedown, Interpol and Sex Pistols within 2/3 weeks of this gig. Love to go to it but simply not affordable atm. I'll see them fully someday

    I'm not sure the lads would go along with the 'stupid culchie' characterisation of their act.

    I mentioned the term 'May Be', It's just my opinion on the type of 'banter' they portray etc

    Didn't mean any offense

    Madra Salach sold out pretty fast, I missed both the presale and the general sale. But maybe they'll be the special guests on the 9th.

    Just flew back after two nights of A Perfect Circle.Absolutely worth it. Great band, great venue, great crowd. One of those shows where you walk out thinking "this is why I should get out more"

    Met plenty of Irish over for it as well. Cork, Galway, Belfast, Dublin. We certainly love to travel for shows from my experience. All left the show amazed.

    Did leave me thinking again how badly Dublin needs a proper mid-sized venue. Brixton felt tailor-made for a band like APC. Meanwhile we're still stuck in that awkward space where too many acts either skip us entirely or everything gets funnelled towards the 3Arena. Still think we missed out by not getting to experience bands like Turnstile in rooms that actually suited them before the arena leap, although promoter greed and ambition is another subject.

    Shame APC didn't make it here, and given the age of the band and how rarely they tour, who knows if we'll get another chance.

    Anyway, no complaints from me. Two nights of A Perfect Circle, cheap flight, and back home to clock back in before anyone notices. Looking forward to David Byrne at the weekend. Have a nice Friday all.

    Anybody who is going to David Byrne and didn't catch him at the 3 Arena, you are in for a treat

    And if you did catch him at the 3 Arena you don't need me to tell you you are in for another treat 😉

    I'm partial to your abracadabra
    I'm raptured by the joy of it all

    Was at APC myself for the two nights, never been to Brixton Academy myself and what a band to see in such a venue, they were just unbelievable from start to finish changing up the sets both nights as well, just one of those bands who we all deep down know will never play here so we've to make the journey,

    Like previous poster, was very surprised at just how many Irish actually flew over for both nights, I suppose it genuinely has gotten to the stage where certain bands are just never gonna come over here due to promoters not taking a chance and the lack of a proper mid sized venue, always feel with the 3arena if it's not packed it's very noticeable, and does at times feel like a aircraft hangar... (I'm an Olympia man myself)

    Both setlists were absolutely top tier as well and the no phones/photography was actually a breath of fresh air for once, it does get jarring seeing the sea of phones at some shows, I get the photos but recording entire songs is pure distraction,

    Brixton academy 10/10 venue anyway the sound and the slope for standing made it the ideal venue to see them in, if they ever come over here it's a must see genuinely

    Agree about the mid sized venue for Dublin .

    I may have one spare ticket. Sometimes finding a mate available to go to gigs can be difficult

    No judgement but is there not a bit of irony in posting three pictures while lauding the no phones rule?

    Anyone else for Aldous Harding tonight? Vera Ellen the support, don't know her but a few tunes in on Spotify and she sounds great. Should be a good one.

    I'm toying with Annie-dog , Affection To Rent and For Nina in the Grand Social tonight. But, at the moment, I think cans on the sofa is going to win 🤣

    Last two songs they let you record/take a photo which in fairness after 90 minutes is fair enough, I'm more on about people who will record the entire thing,

    There's a healthy balance which I think is one or two songs at the end, fair enough some people absolutely hate it and want to document and post everything

    The forecast isn't looking great. Will be a lot of Slippery People in attendance.
