From a gig review post: Support:80s Matchbox B-line Disaster Hung out with Alex and Shonagh before this as I’ve seen 80s Matchbox before (2002 supporting Alec Empire) and didn’t like ’em. Got there just before 9 and… Read More

Worst.post.ever
Woah I’ve been pretty busy lately with gigs (reviews below), volunteering (it’s great craic no matter how weird it sounds), the gym (I didn’t get this figure by eating shedloads of chocolate, oh wait I did that was the problem) and Sarah was over for the last time before I return to Ireland for Xmas.… Read More
Gig Review – Imperial Leisure, The Metro, Oxford St, 19th of November 2007
Support:Didn’t catch their name as speaking clearly seemed to be beyond them The support was OK but someone should tell them that Kurt is dead and to stop fucking his corpse. This is Imperial Leisure’s single (In a letter) launch party. Now this is an official single, there are only 1,000 pressed and they are… Read More
Gig Review – Foo Fighters, The O2, 17th of November 2007
Support:Serj Tankian This is not a mistake, this is the same day as the Imperial Leisure gig. We knew they’d be finished by 7:30 so we decided to go to both :-). This obviously means we missed the support but it was only Serj Tankian who’s old day job SOAD haven’t released anything of worth… Read More
Gig Review – Imperial Leisure, Notting Hill Arts Club, 17th of November 2007
Support:The Trophy Really nice small venue with armchairs and coaches to chill on while you wait for the band you came to see. The Trophy were meh, don’t bother. Imperial Leisure have a single out now, put out by Organ ‘zine and this was a free gig for Organ’s 21st birthday. Despite this being free… Read More
Gig Review – 3 Inches of Blood, Camden Barfly, 13th of November
Support:Chthonic Oh yeah, I love 3 Inches, their 2nd and 3rd albums are cheesy classic metal crossed with thrash and black metal. Their 1st album could be great but the production is dire and lets them down. So I tried to miss the support as I just wasn’t in the mood but I did catch… Read More

Support:Iced EarthLamb of God Well I only got the ticket for this on the day thanks to an guy on MetalIreland had a spare one and spent most of the day hanging out with Astrid and Brian as I wasn’t pushed to see IE or LoG. Then I get a text at 6pm "You going… Read More
Gig Review – Will Haven, Islington Academy, 7th of November 2007
Support:Mirimar Disaster As I mentioned in a previous post I got these free (twice actually). I’m not a fan of Will haven but I’ve seen them before actually. Before a UK tour supporting One Minute Silence many years ago they played a few Irish dates with Sugar Coma (ugh) and Cyclefly (yay) and Al was… Read More
