ps. if u were near the fornt i may have cuaght u on camera as i tried waving round the crowd! nice

Definitly a great show… I thought Lagan Live was better, but then I wasn’t working before that one, and I wasn’t forced to suffer through The Thrills this time (which obviously would have made T? incredible by comparison). And I didn’t have a heavy fucking jacket on, which I left with a friend’s jacket so as I didn’t get incredibly hot during the gig… that was about 6.30pm. Later, I’m sstanding in the crowd after the raffle and my same friend BRINGS my jacket to me, saying it’ll avoid the rush after the show. Grr… tied it round my waist and it ended up round my ankles, which isn’t great in a pit.

I had that for 4 straight days after Misfits.

So, no-one has the gig? :(

By the way, what did they play after Potato Junkie?

Technically nothing… but they played Femtex and a little bit of a Kyuss song, I’m told (something off Wretch), in the middle of it.

Anyone got their hearing back yet?

used to work with johnny. Cool bloke.

8 o clock sounds like a fairly decent time to enter. I wouldnt fancy standing about in the S&A from 3 in the afternoon. Maybe come in at 6 at the earliest.

Do what I did at the Aid For Asia gig- start off with a double Absynthe on the rocks, and let the night progress from there.

I don’t get nervous :D

So, I have a chance of getting in?

Search ‘Novely ID’ on the net. If you have a valid ticket, they will WANT to let you in. Although, posting your picture online and then saying you’re 14 wasn’t, strictly speaking, tactical

Tell me they didn’t deserve it.

Belfast is no good we would have change our hard earned Euros for sterling for a fee craziness

Post office? Use the Euro dispenser at Central Station when you get in?

C’mon- we have to go to Dublin for good gigs all the freakn’ time!

I was there

I was talkin to a mate who works for AU last night and he says this is part of a 12 hour music marathon for Alternative Ulster’s 3rd birthday party. Tickets are gonna be a tenner (i think). Should be a top day.

Ah, right. That’s why it’s the S and A, then. They’ll open up the SA, Limelight and Katy Daly’s all day with bands playing in different venues, like the Aid for Asia day they had.

But the Spring and Airbrake? C’mon. Mandella’s the best venue in Belfast. Spring’s not bad (better than the Limlight) but Mandella’s so much better. Better sound, far bigger and no fucking big dirty pole in the middle of the mosh pit!

Pity it’s not the mandella, though.

Of course its a joke! :D

Voodoo Doll on the set-list should give that away.

Andy-

‘Have you ever been to Belfast zoo?’

‘Have you ever been to Belfast zoo tripping on acid and gone to see the polar bears?’

‘Have you ever put the acid into the polar bear’s drinking water?’

‘Don’t look at at me…’

Kicks into Polar Bear.

Wow… Corrigan are one of my favourite bands, and I would have missed that! Not to mention T?, my joint favourite band of all time. I’ll fuckin’ be there! Thanks for drawing my attention.

…I love it when people vote ‘I don’t care in polls’ …if you don’t care- DON’T VOTE! Especially whe it’s a phone-in one, and they atually have to pay to tell people that they don’t really mind one eway or the other…

They playied it in Belfast in the Aid for Asia gig… it was great.

Well, if it makes you feel any better I got to see them 4 times in the last year…

Ah, yes. Mr. Cooper, how could I forget?

I’m just going to come out and say it; He’s better than Fyfe.

Definitly a great laugh. Laya were background music, really. I liked The Revs… not the ‘The’ band I was expecting. The Undertones were a lot of fun, had a great time when they were on. When Teenage Kicks came in, it was awesome. Lots of jumping, a little bit of moshing.

The Thrills were ironicly unthrilling. I was bored senseless with 2 friends, who were at the time talking to some girls. I sat patiently waiting for an end to this tedium. My friend threw a toothbrush a the singer between songs for total randomness, but they didn’t awknoledge it. I thought that at least might have been a laugh, but no such joy. You know that fluff that sometimes forms in the pockets of jeans? That’s better than The Thrills.

But… Therapy?… jesus, it was good. 4th time seeing them, and this was probably the best. The pit was the most intensly fantastic I’d ever been in, so of course the bouncers decided to come stand in the middle of it and ruin it for everyone. They were on top form, truly incredible performers. Some woman was on with them doing 10 year plan… no solo, which is a pity because screwing about vibratoing and sliding all over the fretboard sounds great in that song… ah, well. Utterly fantastic night, maybe over a little too soon, but that’s OK because we went to see Underline straight after, and they are a very impressive band. Great night- sore neck.

My friend Mike ordered tickets for this ages ago (the day they ran out). They said they were gonna post him 4 (for him and friends), but as yet have not. Now THAT sucks.

OK, who fell for it? :)

I have my ticket, or rather a friend has my ticket for me.

Yeah, except its on the 28th, not 27th, its 30 years of radio ulster, not 25 and all the tickets are now gone. Glad I got in there early!

Only abuse you’ll get is pointing out that they weren’t the support band, they were the co-headliners. Besides, they were nowhere near as good for the Dangerfields, and that’s just from that one night.

I know the story of 2 of his guitars. The one made by Lector… well, you work it out or look it up. The telecaster he used to play, however…

During the early days, Andy played a Fender telecaster. he also used really heavy stings (as he still does). However, he was tuned to E at the time, putting the guitar under reall stress, and warping the neck. Unplayable.

Also, if you’re interested, the les paul shape one is tuned to E, the SG shaped Lector is tuned to C, and the white SG is kept, I think in D (but it could be Dropped D).

I thought Winebago Deal were fantastic. I bought their CD as a result of this, and it is great. Tokyo Dragons were also great to nod your head to, sit back and enjoy.

YEAH! I be gettin’ me one of those.

Oh, and when you said that there was a black T-shirt with the ablum cover, and one with the title, are you sure that wasn’t the reverse of the same T-shirt?

Ummm… this is the 3rd time they’ve played here in the past few months- it WAS awesome!
