NEVER UNDERSTAND

Smaller crowd this time than to DEVENDRA BANHART. People have bad taste. But I like a smaller crowd anyway, so... CLOUD NOTHINGS even more of a Nirvana/grunge vibe to it than on record...and of 90's indie rock of course. Well played. Good songs and all. But it felt that they were just doing their job and that they were bored to death by it. Liked the drummer though, he was "there".

Let me do what NAS did and tell this shit in reverse. DISGUISE ended the night in a great manner. The most furious and raging band I've heard from Ireland. I'm definitely into this. Like the reverby vocals as well, which made me think of Japanese hardcore for sure. They were just...awesome. Good closer for the night. Wish I was more drunk. Wish I could've got more d-beat banged into my head. This is the first dose of real d-beat bliss I've got since arriving here in Dublin. Thanks. Loved how a "gay hardcore band", STRONG BOYS , is playing at something as "macho" as a football club and hang their banner over some football-photographies like "this is the new era!" or something. Like a political statement. Although it probably wasn't. Loved how one in the crowd had a leather bondage mask on and had to hold it in place on his face while he was moshing away. Again, this was really good, and I'm sad that FUCKED UP can...
