kirkt Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 well how ace were Broken Sunshine...it's always better seein them play Drakes cos sounds always better. First time I've seen em since april (I've had good reason tho, you know I do!) and i reckon this was the best they've played...that song number 4 was a great song and even the older songs they've changed around, some nice time changes and soundin a lot more punk...Gilman Street also played best I've seen them (cept the string mishap). I loved that song they played 2nd to last...a right good hardcore tune...shame on anyone who left after them (like most people) cos The Hunchbacks kicked ass and were really funny too and Panic! were also good for that matter, both bands sounded different to the stuff I'd heard but great nonetheless...one of best punk gigs this year methinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scott cs. Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 yeh, it was dissapointing that most of the people left after Gilman Street. i thought The Hunchbacks were the band of the night, i bought their split with The Battledykes and The Waukess and it's pretty damn good. Panic! were abit samey, but they played well, just a pity there wasn't a bigger crowd. any chance you can get The Hunchbacks to play here again sometime Kirk?

kirkt Posted July 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 well Panic! are back with the wonderful Manda and the Marbles (Go Kart Records) but you'll have to ask Sharon bout that. As for The Hunchbacks, I thought they were band of the night too and I'm going to speak to them about me sorting a tour out for them and Regal Beagle (an ace American band who The Queers cover!)

Guest WalkingOnGlass Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Uh...Okay..Broken Sunshine and Gilman Street were both okay, nothing fantastic, but nothing terrible either. The thing I find about bands of these ilk is that they pay little or no attention to their actual sound. If these bands had spent a little more time on beefing up their respective guitar and bass sounds, I'm sure it would've been better.I like Gilman, but sometimes I get the impression that they just try and go way too fast, as opposed to actually working on the songs and keeping them in time, and Stu tends to go out of time a fair bit as a result.The Hunchbacks were pretty dull, in my opinion, but their drummer was fucking awesome!

Camie Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Firstly I was pissed off about the huge delay before the first band came on which meant I missed Panic but these things happen:).Broken Sunshine in my opinion arent that great but do have potential. Their 1st and 3rd songs are songs that if improved on can be very good. Also more confidence is need but im sure that will grow as they continue to gig.Gilman Street were good but played much better at Kef supporting Uncle Brian(the one where hardly anyone bothered to turn up). Had a fue technical hitches(like aaron breaking his string and his guitar being too darn quiet:P) but it was still a good set. Digging the cd a lot:).Hunchbacks were good but I wouldnt say they are an inspiring band but good nonetheless. Their banter was very funny and their drummer is a crazy one. Some of their songs kinda reminded me of Dropkick Murpheys and some of the guitar melodies had a similarity to some of the Pogues melodies.like i said couldnt see the Panics as I had a bus to catch.(same with a lot of people hence why some people left early).Great gig and great atmosphere (oh and loved the djing:)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkt Posted July 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Great gig and great atmosphere (oh and loved the djing:))ill take half the credit for that! unless it was all Alex's songs you liked... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
