[Dizzy Storm]

thought i'd put all this in one thread now...keep things neat and tidy!! hopefully 'dudley' will post again so we can still have the reviews in his signature as info....

this is gonna be some gig....!! yes a small error on my part means we're combining what would have been 2 separate gigs...but its gonna be a night of great music!!

MAN INC
Meet an in-your-face punk minimalist - one man in a suit, a bass and a kick drum.

Man’s one-dude punk show can be positively alarming. It’s inflexible, in-yer-face minimalism in the most stringent sense of the idea. Employing heavy downstrokes, Man hammers out bar chords on his bass — six-string style — keeps steady thump-time with a single kick drum, and his gnarly scream-shout vocal offers up lyrics fraught with good old-fashioned Marxist fun (I don’t want to wear your colors/ I don’t want to hold your grudge … Fuck the Team). check www.beerforman.com for more info/sounds/pictures

'In Love With...' is the 2nd LP by Dublin's The Dudley Corporation. Taking their cues from Pinback, Queen, Drive Like Jehu and a little Northern Soul, Hot Press describes the Corpo as 'subtle, bolshy, smart, unpredictable cerebra pop with chords that haven't even been invented yet'. Since the first album they've cemented a position as one of Ireland's favourite live acts, playing with Low, Pinback, Rocket From The Crypt and Steve Malkmus as well as touring in the US and Iceland. The new LP was recorded in Scotland at Chem 19 with The Delgados' string section and features artwork by Atsuo from Japanese sludge rockers Boris. It received stellar reviews on it's Irish release and contains the band's first top 30 single!

"Buy it. The ghost of Chet Baker meets the ghost of Kurt Cobain on a sleepover at Burt Bacharach's ranch." - Evening Herald

"Masters of gentle, wistful songs and lush soundscapes." - OK! Magazine

"Sounding like they're playing their instruments while falling down a flight of stairs, then dusting themselves off for a brief moment of introspection, something special is not far off." - Q

"Complex, edgy, stop-start rushes without becoming too convoluted to jettison their tunes. Super-smart stuff." - Irish Times

"It is a John Cusack of a rock album: the songs full of a robust, boyish energy, an I-can't-stop-myself hyperactivity, a tremendous intelligence
and a tendency to go off without any notice on fantastic, mind-boggling tangents." - Hot Press

"There is so much greatness in this album that it can't be explained in mere words, a little like love itself." - Alternative Ulster, #8 LP of 2003

"a classic is born" - O2 Observer

If i'm right, and I'm rarely wrong, this could be the best thing since tinned yams or cured hams.

Hot dog!

Is there a rough running order for this as I'd have to come along after my STINKING work

[Plato the Greek]

News just in:

King Liar and the Brutes are not turning punk for anyone.

This promises to be the best night of your short tawdry life. The only two bands in Ireland playing with the only American left alive, alongside The Kings of Brutish Caveman Stomp. I just heard that Drakes will have to close down after this gig because there will be nothing left for them to achieve after this dynamic tour de force.

Get there or get hair you scuzzballs.

[Lester Burnham]

I'm there.

Joss, you fool. You better go! I'll beat you with your backpack... a backpack... honestly.

My aim is to have a superior quiff to all the Brutes... even Project S.A.M.

Death befalls you.
