Flyer : The Things

Love or hate ‘em, there’s no denying what a scream-out-loud, psychotic rock extravaganza this will be for the black-bedecked crowd in Iveagh Gardens tonight. I was there for The Fall on Tuesday night and it’s a really lovely location for this year’s fringe. Be sure to catch the Dagger Lees, my favourite of the three, before they hit HWCH this weekend….

    Hah, yeh, The Fall as in ‘doddery, embarrassing uncle about to Fall over’…

    pfft “doddery, embarrassing uncle about to fall over”??? Thats Mark E. Smith of the fall your talking about!
    As in : Mark E up there with Ian Curis and Morrissey Smith.

    I understand that but Curtis was saved this kind of indignity and Moz…well he was on fire at IMMA a few weeks back. I don’t think rockstars should be on stage when their top speed is 5mph. Let the old days speak for themselves.
    Smith eventually made it to the stage 45 minutes late with a sheaf of papers clutched in his paws which he read from: I could see those papers and they were scrawled like a toddler’s imitation of handwriting…it’s just Time, gentleman, please!

    He was never really any different, so I don’t see the problem

  6. nay says:

    LOL what problem? I just didn’t think he was much cop the other night, I’m not dismissing his entire career!
