I LOVED the Deerhunter gig. And Bradford was so nice to talk to, despite the cold he had.

hugger!

We’ve never met but I’d love to meet you, first off hugger.

I missed HP, White Williams were OK, hardly incendiary, Deerhunter meh, seriously not that impressive.
I understand that perhaps the Butlins thing came into it. It wasn’t that great a set from Dan that I’ve seen but the energy happening was too infectious to care otherwise. It’s not about drink, the first time I saw him I was sober as a judge. Why do people keep equating drink with a good time. Annoys the shit out of me.

And just for the record my highlight was hearing ‘Killing In The Name Of’ by RATM during one of the breaks……

Wow, I seemed to have the polar opposite experience at this gig. Thought High Places were the perfect opener and would do well to get to EP as they are the perfect festival band. Was impressed with White Williams, eclectic and fun. Was blown away by Deerhunter though, was not expecting them to be so good. Dan Deacon, arrrgggh, loved ‘The Crystal Cat’ but after that it was Butlins on speed for me, fine if you are celebrating you’re 16th birthday but way too much novelty going on there. Maybe I wasn’t pissed enough. Agree on the worryingly small crowd though.

I was at LOW in ALT on Friday and it seemed pretty full and a pretty incredibly show too. There was just too many gigs on around the same time I think… I am completely gigged out really. Dan looked like fun!

Gutted, just gutted that I missed this gig having heard so much about it today and seen the video’s of the shenanigans. I will have to find a way to clone myself.

Re the ticket sales, there was Hot Chip (shockingly priced) in ALT and Mr. Scruff ( 6 hour set) in Button Factory that might have had a slight impact on crowd numbers at Vicar Street. Can’t imagine the carnage of trying to do the pyramid thing with a full house in Vicar Street though! I hear it went all the way down the jacks downstairs.

Sincerely hope the promoters made a profit.

That, kids, is the very definition of a pimp-ass motherfucking ‘tache.

Saw Jape play down in Waterford a week back. Richie Egan’s an awesome bloke.

It is a pity they couldn’t shift more tickets, Dan Deacon was worth it alone.
Maybe Dublin has a smaller indie fanbase than we thought. A lot of my friends thought I was referring to Robert DeNiro film when I told them I was going to see Deerhunter.
