nialler9’s Ridiculously Long Gig Calendar
Mar 24 2008Taken from my Myspace page, which is the only reliable gig calendar tool I have. These are all the shows I’m planning to go to until early June and it’s still probably missing a few.

What do you say? Care to make some more suggestions? What did I leave out?

Republic of Loose should also be good, Mick Pyro is King
1Yo, SEBP in razzmatazz!that place is off the chain…sunset rubdown are playing the nite after animal collective in whelans,that would be worth a look.
2Weird, i did the same thing the other day too. i’d forgotten bout m83,cheers.There might be one or two on mine you left out
3http://www.myspace.com/adamlaceygalway
milosh on the 9th april and crayonsmith on the 19th april?
Xiu Xiu in May as well.
4God you’re so indie it hurts
Cant understand what the fuss about Battles is. Never could.
5You’re missing out on Red Snapper in the Sugar Club on Sunday April 13th. Excellent reformed band who I had the pleasure of seeing at the Bloc Weekend in Eng-ger-land recently. Still have the power to amaze. Their drummer is the core of their groove I think, he just lays down this looping beat and the others work around it, I was transfixed by his skills.
(Incidentally I wasnt mad impressed with the Kode9/Spaceape performance at the Bloc either… bit pedestrian and repetitive in places)
And of course the kingpin Ricardo Villalobos is playing in the Tivoli on the Sunday of the May Bank Holiday weekend. I reckon that’ll be lots of fun. The crowd will be an interesting mix of bleedinmadoutofits who saw him in Ibeeefa last summer, minimal nerds in t-shirts and square glasses standing around the decks all night, fashionistas who read about him in whatever glossy magazine featured him last, and general pissheads caning it because they have an extra day off at the weekend. I dont want to sound like a mouthpiece for Remedy here (and if I am, would they please fire a free pass my way??) but I think that is one not to miss.
Oh the music that night might be worth checking out too.
The National?
6I can’t even comment. I’m too busy seething with jealousy.
7hmmmmm wat about the SEBP gig in the bridge???not cool enough for ya Mr. B?lol
8Ween in May.
9Red Snapper I would have dismissed out of hand just because it’s a nostalgia buzz. Maybe a mistake so.
I also forgot Jamie Lidell - 3rd May.
10The Notwist on June 7 in button fac.
11Man Man on May 11th.
12master byrne,
13might see you next month in london if i’ve the time
you should check out Declan Nerney, hes playin @Spa Hotel Tempeloague thurs 3rd april, think uve got a free slot then
14Tucan on Thursday in the bleu note. Its free you see
15On strong recommendations from everyone who saw them at ATP last year - gotta try catch Chromehoof this Friday in Whelans before booting it up to the Vaults for Kode 9 / Various Productions gig…
16Why are SEBP playing at Ginglik? Surely they could play a better venue?
17Milosh playin Dublin in a couple of weeks with Donal Dineen, shouldn’t be missed!
18Know nothing about the venue, do tell…
19Brasilintime on May 2nd in Tivoli
Comanche Mamao Madlib Tony Allen JRocc DJ Nuts
bring it on…unreal lineup
20dude that’s about 2 years worth for me……..
21Jonathan Richman - Deerhunter.
22Get some
oOOoH! Just spotted the Chromatics are playing on April 24th in Andrews Lane Theatre, has anyone been to any gigs there since it opened back up? What’s it like?
Not forgetting Acid Mothers Temple on the 29th in Whelans,,, gah! so much stuff
23Aílo, think that’s the first week it’s open. I could be wrong though
24Jaysus, that’s some list. I’m aiming to get to the M83 gig, and if you like that you might like Ulrich Schnauss, in the TBM.. err, Button Factory, 2nd May.
25ah I see,,, yeh the Crystal Castles gig is on there that week too
more venues, can’t be a bad thing I reckon as I really haven’t taken to the Button Factory or this upstairs in Whelans malarchy!
26Quantic Soul Orchestra in Sugar Club this Sat - essential viewing.
27Ooh, and as a reply to x, Gui Boratto is on the same night as Villalobos, and I for one will be attending the former. His Chromophobia release was one of the best albums of any genre of 2007. By the by, unless I have got something very wrong, it seems that Remedy are running both the Boratto and Villalobos nights? Can anyone confirm this, as it makes absolutely no sense to me
28What about us??
We’re playing our (pretty much) debut gig upstairs in Whelan’s on Friday April 18th, Jimmy Cake or no Jimmy Cake. And we’ve got Jimmy Behan as support. Gwan the town!

29i passed andrew’s lane the other day
30outside looks finished but inside it’s a mess, just a building site!
i sh&t u not!
hope they get the bloody thing done in time for those end of april gigs!
Why are SEBP playing at Ginglik? Surely they could play a better venue?
Know nothing about the venue, do tell…
Well that’s just it, nobody i know knows anything about the venue. I’m sure it’s fine but i was just presuming that SEBP would play somewhere more established.
31Damon & Naomi from galaxie 500 are playing 25 of june. galaxie 500 are top notch, not sure about the solo stuff
32and well before that Magik Markers on 21 April. Deerhunter are playing again and so is their singers side project, atlas sounds not sure of dates but both are around the same time as the almight HEALTH.
It’s a new thing apparently.. in Sheperd’s Bush
33They are playing in Hope& Anchor, Islington the next day too.
I don’t think they’ll be expecting much of a crowd! First gigs abroad and all that.
34“…They are playing in Hope& Anchor, Islington the next day too…”
islington… ugh…
35at least i’ll get to be stand in the same place as the stranglers did in the 70’s
The funny thing is I have 18 gigs in the same period and only four are the same. Although I think I may stump up for Why?.
Point being, there is amazing choice out there.
36leigh - what’s wrong with islington?
37i lived and worked around there for a while and loved it (the area as opposed to the work)
the angel area and upper st has some wicked little cafes and restaurants, some cool music shops and indie cinemas and some deadly bars and one off shops
dublin has nowhere to compare with that
though admittedly it does get a bit ‘walkabout’ish as you head towards highbury & islington station
i’ve found it the opposite experience to be honest - it’s been rather nasty-ish to me, but right now the fact that i was chased for my life down the road by crack heads in wycombe a few minutes ago may cloud my judgement of this retched place even further
