The Strokes

lyrama · 16-02-2006 02:55AM #1

Can't wait to see The Strokes this Monday! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I just wish they'd picked a smaller venue like The Ambassador and a better support act... aaaaaargh Adam Green ah well:rolleyes: ! It'll still be an amazing gig tho! Good news, they said that they'd be coming back for a European tour during the summer:D ! Just wondering, what time's everyone planning to line up at?

X-SL · 16-02-2006 02:22PM

wait, who's supporting?

honru · 16-02-2006 02:57PM

Adam Green of The Moldy Peaches.

Mushy · 16-02-2006 09:28PM

I heard Humanzi are supportin. Maybe they playin aswell. Hmm.. a European summer tour i.e. Oxegen! No coincidence

rubadub · 17-02-2006 12:07PM

Anybody know when the strokes are due on? I want to spend as little time as possible in that disgraceful hell-hole.

Adam Green is a mile better than The Strokes.

X-SL · 17-02-2006 03:04PM

not from listening to Carolina and songs like that lol

HarryHoudini · 17-02-2006 04:12PM

He was miles better with the Moldy Peaches.

Its good to see that they are still touring together. I remember seeing the Strokes in the Temple Bar Music Centre all those moons ago with the Moldy Peaches in Support. Class gig.

That's weird, I heard Humanzi too. I couldn't get a ticket though, so it makes no difference to me

Redegg · 18-02-2006 01:47AM

Yea Humanzi is listed on entertainment.ie. Not really that pushed. Adam green should be good. Jessica simpson ... and all that.

I would like to second this!! The only reason I'm going to this gig is coz I heard Adam Green was playing support so I ran into town yesterday and got the tickets! I missed him in Whelans so I'm thrilled I get to catch him now!

Yeah afaik Humanzi are playing support too!

Jonny Arson · 18-02-2006 12:54PM

Yeah, Humanzi 110% supporting The Strokes.

Maybe ya are, maybe ya aren't...depends if I give ya the ticket

Nimrod's Son · 19-02-2006 05:59PM

I saw Humanzi at Lansdowne last Summer and they were brutal, quite frankly. I won't be going out of way to get in at 7.30 just to see them.
I don't know much of Adam Green's material but I'm told he's good so I'm looking forward to seeing him play.
Oh and The Strokes should be great as well.

Redegg · 20-02-2006 02:43PM

wow their setlist on NME is quite amazing. so long. Dont really want to see the support band just going early so im not seeing dots on stage.

Mr Rivers · 21-02-2006 03:10AM

Adam was great but didnt suit the venue or the crowd I thought. Strokes were cool, really enjoyed them

Just held it up with my arm

Aw loved Adam Green...he didn't play no legs but it was great to see What A Waster...

Here's a couple of my photos...

Redegg · 21-02-2006 01:43PM

Excellent videos.. thats for them! Great show. Support bands were not exactly amazing. Adam Green was quite good though.. Humanzi were so forgetable. Strokes had a really long set. All that jumping nearly killed me,..

SxE Punk · 21-02-2006 02:37PM

Was anyone else in the huge pit in the centre of the pit area last night? I was surprised by how good the moshing was there last night, I love The Strokes and all, but I didn'tt hink the moshing would be that good! Don't ya love it when a band surprises you that way? My favorite song of the night had to have been New York City Cops.

I was the guy with the busted nose wearing the Clash shirt and the red 'Sixers jersey by the way.

Nimrod's Son · 21-02-2006 03:00PM

Great gig, impressive set. So good my trousers damn near blew off. :v:

Suaimhneach · 21-02-2006 04:06PM

I was sitting in the seats above looking at all the moshing/bopping. Nearly killed me!! I really wanted to be downt there, looked amazing.

Strokes played the perfect set. And suprisingly well and sober!!

Though, it was cool to see an aerial view of the place with people crowd surfing and stuff.

Loved that they played a ramones song as well.

Great gig.

lifegamer · 21-02-2006 04:23PM

I was there.

In my opinion:

Humanzi - v good band, enjoyed their set a lot

Adam Green - someone I would not go see again! :eek: OMG he sucked

The strokes - I'll be there at oxegen! They were great

Highlights of the show were the amazing lights used and "last nite"

V happy man leaving the point I was

magpie · 21-02-2006 04:46PM

Cracking gig, for me they lost some momentum by doing "Life is a gas" which I thought was a bit pointless, but an extremely impressive live act, and its only when you see them you realise how many killer tunes they've actually got.

Keep up the good work gentlemen.

The Strokes
