For a while it has seemed that gigs in the capital city had taken a break of sorts. There was a time a few months ago (I think it was around the time No Age played Whelans) when there was at least 56 gigs a week for 2 months straight. I tried to blag as many as possible and it worked out well enough but fuck me by the end of it I was more tired than a Guardian reader at a horticultural & organic produce market doing a weekly shop.
And now the gigs are back. Back hard.
Tonight you could go to Ministry (Tripod, supported by the legendary Giveamanakick) or Johann Johannson in Grand Canal's CHQ building.
Tomorrow you should only be going to Analog's Efterklang/Tortoise/Liars triple whammy deluxe, although you also have Silje Nes in Grand Canal Square or Ministry in Tripod to pop along to if you can bear missing an Efterklang show. Monday sees electronic buzz-makers Storkboy Choons at the Byoom Byoom Ryoom.
Tuesday is Jim White in the Suicra Club.
Wednesday is Antics (if you have the chutzpah to brave it, old man/woman) with New Amusement playing.
Thursday is crackers coz it's the fucking Butthole Surfers (I'll be naked at the front) or Dry County if you like (and by 'if you like' I mean 'why are you not at the Buttholes to sing along with Cough Syrup??').
You could then round it all off with a dose of Robotnik (who was great supporting Laura Marling a few weeks ago) who graces Crawdaddy on Friday with his skills.
So there you have it: a gig plan for the week (for those of you in Dublin).
I'm off to grow a moustache and sprinkle fairy dust on my winkle-pickers for the Efterklang gig and then sacrifice some doe-eyed baby animals for the imminent industrial aural molestation of the Buttholes. I'll squeeze everything else in too, if possible.
Enjoy it. And a shout out to Brendan who asked me to mention him in this post.

wish i had the cash to make butthole surfers and with the added bonus oh Pez on the bill as well bound to be an interesting night to say the least
I want to know what was removed
i fucked up and delete my comment is all
Cha gettin paranoid that the gov't removed a subversive comment hah? ;-)
no, just what merited removal as you permitted by sexual swearwords and the like. Curious not paranoid. I know Echelon is having a look...
i didnt delete the comment, Dr Hook.Anyone who leaves a comment can delete it too if they fuck up a word or sentence or whatever. I love Oliver Stone too much to dabble in censorship.
Yea, just being lazy and skimming the text didnt take that in at first glance. ad just come from the Guardian comment is free about conspiracy theories blog and noticed the removed comments, forgot go shift my mind into this context where, of course, Backwards Scran (theres one for the xtra-list) wouldnt engage in that
efterklang were good but need their own headline to really shine.
i can't help but love them no matter what. i wish they'd gotten to plsy longer and i was surprised they weren't the headliners but anyway..
