    I challenge people to an all you can eat competition before hand.

    They never once gave me concern for my bowel, probably cause there's a lot of belly to get through before sound gets there. Fat is not a good conductor of sound it appears...

    That said, I've been flattened by the wall of sound produced at a Sunn0))) gig, it's the business :D

    I saw them in a place the size of Crawdaddy, maybe smaller, last year. They weren't that loud. I'd be happy to partake in an all-you-can-eat contest beforehand! :)

    I saw Justin Broadrick on his own this summer and he was louder than Sunn O))). Now that the two are combined...

    Pyrofog??? Sounds lethal!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 456 ✭✭Scratch Acid


    Still unsure as to whether I'm gonna go to this or not. I really like the band, but I have a fairly weak stomach and the possibilty of spontaneous bowel explosion is depressingly real.

    If you sit upstairs in Crawdaddy you'll be out of the line of destruction of the amps


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 185 ✭✭damomeasa

    SUNN 0))) is the heavy rock equivalent of an institutional-size dose of Largactyl; when you finally get down, you stay down. SUNN 0))) makes sounds of weather formation size meditations, as monolithic as a brick of monosludge. SUNN 0))) music is huge and simple, like a future race of technologists who forgot how to build microchips so had to return to factory-sized computers. Its shamanic appeal is considerably enlivened by the sub-bass disfigurations caused to all bowels in the immediate proximity, whilst the lead guitar clings to your torso like a butter knife spreading Philly Lite first on a piece of toast, then on the bread board, then across the counter over the fridge and up the walls into adjacent rooms. Live line-ups for the current tour include Mark D- Melvins, Justin Broadrick- Jesu, ex-Napalm Death, Bill Herzog and Tos Nieuwenhuizen amoungst others"

    Oh yeah, love the wizard! Dopethrone is right up there in my top ten albums I think. That band Mongolia seem pretty alright as well. shame they're not going to be at the Dublin gig.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,135 ✭✭✭✭John


    Any idea who is supporting at the Dublin gig? Wreck of the Hesperus?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 185 ✭✭damomeasa

    I heard Justin Broderick has a solo project, something with the word "Final" in it, and that he'll be playing support before joining Sunn O))) for the main set


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 185 ✭✭damomeasa


    would have thought that if final was playing it'd have been billed..

    I think Justin (as Final) are playing two of the gigs in England as support and not in Ireland as far as i know.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,135 ✭✭✭✭John


    I saw a few minutes of Final in Birmingham and it is two people when done live (I don't know who the other bloke was). It's wall of sound stuff like Sunn O))) but warm and cuddly. It would be great if it was the support, I'm still sorry I didn't go in and watch the whole performance.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,325 ✭✭✭Frankiestylee


    I'd love to cuddle a wall of sound


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,217 ✭✭✭Matthewthebig


    My mate made up this name for the gig. I love it

    "Atilla the Sunn o)))"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,110 ✭✭✭Mr Rivers


    Reply from u:mack is that they don't know the deal with the support slot for Dublin yet... hopefully they'll post or I will as soon as more is known :)


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 28,633 Mod ✭✭✭✭Shiminay


    Wreck of the Hesperus aren't gigging for a few months, they had an announcement on MySpace. I think their drummer's off to the UK for college related things.

    Anyway, are we meeting for a pint or something before?

    JUSTIN BROADRICK (EX NAPALM DEATH /GODFLESH) HAS JUST BEEN CONFIRMED TO PERFORM AS FINAL AT TUESDAYS SUNNO))) CONCERT!

    Listen to Final at www.myspace.com/officialfinal

    FINAL serves as an undefinable and experimental interpretation of Justin Broadrick's more recognised music ; encompassing the brutal and the dark to the beautiful and the melodic, the term 'ambient' is often used to describe the sound of FINAL, but the music is not at all intended to function purely as background as the term 'ambient' generally implies.....
    Before Justin Broadrick was in Napalm Death and way before his Jesu,Godflesh and Techno Animal projects, he had FINAL, this was the first music that he made and the first concerts he ever performed; initiated at the tender age of 13, inspired by the true old industrial music of Whitehouse, Throbbing Gristle, Ramleh and Maurizio Bianchi etc, Justin used his step fathers primitive musical equipment to forge his own sound influenced by the aforementioned artists and attempt with like minded individuals and friends to establish his own sound and vision. Basic recordings were made and this led Justin to form a cassette label in early 1984 (Post Mortem Rekordings) releasing his own cassettes and eventually other artists too, this tape only label lasted from early 1984-86, releasing over 50 cassettes of confrontational hate noise/power electronics and Throbbing Gristle inspired electronic psychedelia.

    By the time Justin joined Napalm Death in 1985, he had already become interested in creating music outside of the 'industrial/noise' genre, even FINAL itself around this period briefly became a band using 'rock' instrumentation. Once Justin had become busier with Napalm Death and the pre Godflesh band Fall Of Because, he slowly moved away from what he was doing with FINAL and eventually shelved the project in late 1986.

    After the first 3 years of the existence of Godflesh, Justin became interested in wanting to resurrect FINAL, recognising the open ended area FINAL worked in and yearning for more experimentation particularly within an area without the trappings of 'rock' music. Justin began recording new pieces, utilizing guitar,tapes,synths and samplers. The result was the first ever CD release by FINAL simply entitled 'One', this was released by Sentrax in Europe and Bill Laswells label Subharmonic in the U.S.A in 1993. 'One' collected Justins first new work as Final in over 6 years, also included on 'One' was a long piece that compiled small edits of some of Justins earlier work as Final from 1983-86.

    The influences on FINAL were now much wider than the earlier 'industrial' influences ; sombre and textural ambient sounds had a huge bearing upon the early 90's incarnation of FINAL, Justins exposure to Brian Eno as a youngster had made its impact. More releases followed - FINAL '2' on Sentrax once more, the full length CD - 'the first millionth of a second' (in collaboration with Godflesh's GC Green) which was released on U.S experimental music giant Manifold, Jesu bassist Diarmuid Dalton also began to collaborate with Justin, both on Final '2' and on the 'Solaris' CDep released on Alleysweeper/Invisible, later re-released as a full length with a 30 min extra track. After two 7" singles and numerous compilation apperances, Justin continued to record FINAL material but without a planned release schedule due to being so busy with other projects.

    In 2001 Neurot recordings approached Justin offering to release FINAL '3', Justin set about slowly recording and accumulating material from then until early 2005, some in collaboration again with Diarmuid Dalton. Bringing us to the present day, FINAL '3' is finished and due for release on Neurot Recs. in Feb 2006, its a double CD set compiling various recordings from 2001-2005.

    Since forming Jesu, Justin has become very active with FINAL inspired by his new works on '3',recording has already begun for forthcoming releases, and now Justin is preparing to perform as FINAL, his first performances as FINAL since1985. FINAL is more active than ever....

    FINAL collaborators from 1983 to the present day - Andrew Swan,Guy Pearce,Nicholas Bullen,Kevin Johnson,Paul Neville,GC Green,Diarmuid Dalton.
