edited February 2010 in The Porch
It's almost been a long year since our last shows, who woulda thought it'd be so hard to get 6 guys together at the same time for such a good cause?! Anyway, the dates are as follows:

Jan 23rd: Spirit Store, Dundalk, Co. Louth
Jan 29th: The Backroom, Navan, Co. Meath
Feb 5th: The Spring and Airbrake, Belfast, Co. Antrim http://www.ticketmaster.ie/search?tm_li ... search.y=0

I think doors are 8 for an 8.30 kickoff, but i'll confirm that closer to the dates, just as with admission prices.

If and when PJ announce their Euro tour and a Dublin date, we'll look into booking a Dublin gig ourselves. The thing about Dublin is the venues charge a fortune to hire. Even though there was 200 at our last gig there in the Academy in May 2008 and it was severe fun, we were still paying for it 6 months later! So a decent Dublin gig requires overseas fans too, which would be awesome!

Anyone unfamiliar with the band, which is everyone apart from a few hundred, here are some videos from past gigs:

    I'd love to be able to report another Waterford date, the forum is a serious venue. All that's booked at the moment is those few dates above but we're trying to get into some places we haven't done before like Galway, Limerick and Cork. I'm sure we'll manage to get another few dates on the list and i'll be trying my best to make Waterford happen, I fucking love me some Waterford!

    Crowd: "UUUUUKKK!"
    Eddie: "I see you've acknowledged the Ukulele"
    Crowd: "UUUUUUUUKKKKK!!!"
    Eddie: "Too bad this is a mandolin you uncultured bastards"

    Always a great show with pearl jem, seen them 4 times (i think!) in the spring and airbrake. Well worth checking out guys! Don't know if i'll make it this time though, funds are abit low what with the belfast and dublin gigs and the current work situation over here! ( self employed joiner say no more!) . Never say never though, maybe i can drum up some pals to split the taxi costs. I'll do my best! anyway if you are going have a great night. :)

    No 71step, did you not hear about the craic that's going down on July 21st?! Ok, there's no covering up my error :roll: But Jen (or anyone) do you think it'd be worth organising something along the lines of a Pearl Jem gig in Dublin for June 21st?

    You should come, it's the Spring and Airbrake! I don't even wanna play, I' just wanna be down on the floor throwing shapes for that gig! Though I totally understand the bane that is 'lack of funds'.

    Cheers satansbed, maybe a Joy Division tribute isn't beyond our capabilities, I'm just happy you didn't say it's like Right Said Fred doing LBC :mrgreen:

    Incidentally, we'll be playing at least 5 from BS, can't wait, and anyone who's been to a show before knows that at least 2.5 hours, it is more than your average tribute!

    Thanks to any 10clubers who came last Friday night, it was packed full of genuine Pearl Jam fans, it was so much fun to play those songs again. This is our maiden attempts at the Fixer and Unthought Known from the gig:

    Anyone with the intention or ability to travel to Navan for this Friday's gig, doors are open at 8.30, we're on from about 10-12.45, admission is 15 euro.

    As always, apologies to all non-Irish Pearl Jam based fans who unfortunately these posts are totally irrelevant to!

    Roll on June 22nd :mrgreen:
  • JennytreeJennytree Posts: 5,340
    The new stuff sounds really fuckin' good - I'm impressed how ye's managed to get them sorted in a pretty short amount of time!

    Gonna try to get to the Navan show - but logistically it'll be a pain without a car and no ability to steal one this time :lol:

    And I've set up a bit of an aul facebewk group to gauge interest on the 21st June - it'd be great if we could get a Manchester-esque thing goin' on!

    I like the idea of that, heard the craic in Manchester beat all last year, there's no reason a memorable session can't be had in Dublin. Unfortunately Nigel is gonna be in Nashville with D.O.D. in June so that rules out a Pearl Jem, but I know a guy who sings quite well and even sounds like Ed ( http://www.youtube.com/user/edvedd#p/u/14/X7tPMxPsm8M ) so if I can round him up and the PJem musicians we will happily supply some sounds for the night.

    Cheers again for braving the cold and lack of in-car heat to make the trip to Dundalk, sure if you can't make Navan there's always Belfast the following week :D . 2 evenings it took to rehearse the BS songs and go back over the rest of the set. Fair play to Andy Quinn driving the band on the drums there, cause he doesn't really listen to PJ outside of whatever he learns for the gig, but BS has him listening more and he's looking forward to having his PJ virginity obliterated in June.

    I think I must admit defeat and not go to Navan! :(

    Not a hope of the Meath crowd being as good as last week but no doubt they'll give it a good lash anyway!
