PsychoFest #2

donc ce magnifique festival, samedi de 15h a 3h...

des bons groupes de rock de dublin, du bon son plein les oreilles, de bonnes performances plein les yeux, une bonne ambiance, tout sur place, la boisson, le coin fumeur, les parts de pizza, et encore une fois le bon son!

petite preference pour Humanzi, Stagger Lee, The Mighty Steph, et bien sur les stars du festival, les createurs de l'evenement, les magnifiques organisateurs de ce psychotic mouvement, les betes de scene, les originals compositeurs d'un style bien a eux, j'ai nomme:

The Things (a decouvrir sur scene en premier, a ecouter sur cd ensuite)

 

petites anecdotes de la nuit:

le chanteur du premier groupe a saute devant avec sa guitare, s'est casse la gueule, et a balance sa guitare dans le public pour faire style, resultat;je crois qu'il a defonce la main de quelqu'un qui a du coup fait tomber sa pinte...

je me suis pete le genou gauche pendant le dernier groupe, enfin c'etait les dj the leather girls, mais l'alcool aidant, je n'ai eu mal que le lendemain...

une biere a chaque groupe... ca fait beaucoup...

j'aime beaucoup le voodoo et sa clientele, des gens cools, originaux...

je trouve le chanteur de the things fascinant...si passione, energique, en transe hypnotique sur scene, et l'air si calme hors de la scene...il m'epate!

 

 

 

so this wonderful festival, on saturday from 3pm to 3am...

good rock bands from dublin, goo sound for the ears, good shows for the eyes, great atmosphere, everything near, smoking courtyard, drinks, pizza, and once again good sound!

my favourites: Humanzi, Stagger Lee, The Mighty Steph, and of course the stars of the festival, the creators of the event, the great organisers of this psychotic movement, gods on stage, original composers of their very own special style, i am talking about:

The Things (to discover on stage first, then listen to their songs on cd)

 

little stories of the night:

the singer of the first band jumped from the stage with his guitar, badly fell, thew his guitar in the public to try to "respond", the result is that i think he hurt someone's hand who dropped his pint...

i badly hurt my left knee during the first act, well it was djs the leather girls, but the alcohol was helpful as i only felt the pain the day after...

each band one beer... it's a lot...

i quite like the voodoo and its customers, nice people, original...

i find the singer of the things fascinating... so passionated, full of energy, in a hypnotic transe on stage, and he seems so quiet out of the stage... he amazes me!

The Things

The Things have become notorious in their homeland for their high-octane shows and have touted their sleazy garage rock n roll across the globe, including an appearance at the SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas. Theyve played with The Warlocks, The Hives, The Fall, Peaches, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Arctic Monkeys and Baby Shambles among others. The frenzied live antics of deviant front man Neilo Thing set this band apart from any other. These misfits want your bones! They release their new single Some Kind of Kick on the 23^rd June 2006, available to buy at Psycho Fest 2006.

Humanzi

Humanzi join the ritual as high priests of hedonistic new-wave and punk. Having recently won the Best Newcomer award at Irelands Meteor Awards, they release their latest single Diet Pills & Magazines on July 3, followed by their highly anticipated debut album, Tremors on July 10 via Fiction/SFR. Humanzi support the Strokes for a second time in Londons Hyde Park on the 21^st June prior to this nights revelry, as well as Oxegen 8^th July, T In The Park 9^th July, Leeds Festival 25^th August and Reading Festival 27^th August, so catch them while you can.

Metro Riots

Heavy retro, life-enhancing, maximum energy rock that is blacker than the Sabbath, flashier than the Clash, out-swims the Strokes and out-shouts a Primal Scream. Influenced by the likes of Leadbelly, Blind Willie McTell, The Stooges, and New York Dolls, Metro Riots released an EP And Now the Tyrants are Loose in November 2004 on Genepool Records. New single When You're Gone is released 17 July 2006 on Eleven78 Records.

Stagger Lee

Stagger Lee bring their distinctive tincture of rocknroll noir and twisted feral blues in the spirit of Robert Johnsons devil-at-the-cross roads and Mavis Staples sultry gospel cry. Theyve supported the Kills, the Duke Spirit and the John Spencer Blues Explosion to name a few and have recently recorded with renowned producer Leo Pearson.

The Mighty Stef

The Murphy fella with the vocal chords of a young Johnny Cash, brings his wayward band of rowdy men and their raucous live show to Psycho Fest #2. The Mighty Stef spent early 2006 recording his debut album in Toronto, following the release of his debut single 'Prayer for the broken hearted / Liars' in June 2005.

Porn Trauma

Their infectious debut EP 'Sunrise' reached number 21 in the Irish Charts in June 2005. Their energetic live show is fuelled with blues and country influenced rock and theyve supported Ian Brown, Babyshambles, and The Coral. Porn Trauma release their new 7" single Casanova Blues on June 29th.

Mainline

Alongside rocking gigs with Sonic Youth, the Morning After Girls and Spiritualised, Mainlines now sold-out, 7 single Black Honey was released on Loog Records in 2005, as well as the fantastic WHO MADE Who remix which took dancefloors by storm. If the nights proceedings werent dark enough, expect Mainline to make it just that bit darker.

Zealots

Well versed in the canon of blues, new wave and insurgence, the band have gathered an immediate following from their untameable live performances. With bad hangovers come the fear of god, and a sideward glance towards oblivion. Bringing maximum R & B into the 21st century, Zealots are never to be missed

Sickboy

Influenced by The Clash , The Stooges, Primal Scream, Joy Division, and The Smiths, Sickboy are a  four piece with a passion for music, drink, drugs, smokes, women and avoiding the rat race at all costs. Supports have included The Bravery, The Coral and The Paddingtons.

The Motorsounds

Formerly known as The Blues Experimentation Society, The Motorsounds is now Andy McGibbon and whatever drummer he can get his hands on, creating a two piece punk-blues monster. The BXS supported The Soledad Brothers, The Immortal Lee County Killers and Mudlow, among others. Andy is currently preparing a full length album.

The Childish Thoughts

Northern Irelands favourite sons of garage, The Childish Thoughts, are the self-styled Kings of Frug Rock. To see this band live is quite an experience. They count the Reverend Beatman among their fans.

 

Band on an Island

Hailing from Newbridge, Band on an Island can lull you into a warm sense of security with their stark, folk-tinged balladry, then rip your face off with their red-raw punk rock tunes. They put blood, sweat, heart and soul into every tune.

The Leather Girls will round up the night by spinning some discs and adding some much needed glamour to vamp up proceedings. Theyve played with Marc Almond so dont piss them off they have whips you know!

soiree cremaillere

une soiree tres ennuyeuse samedi dernier

le probleme n'etait pas avec le mec qui nous avait invite car il est super sympa

mais plutot avec les gens qui etaient invite, une bande de personnes francaises et jeunes qui ont passe la soiree a se plaindre de dublin et de l'irlande, son manquede bonne nourriture, de bonne musique, disant que les irlandais etaient juste des branleurs et paysans qui buvaient de la biere toute la journee.

sympa, non?

j'aimerais leur dire, rentrez dans votre france cherie et amusez-y vous bien!

 

a very annoying party last saturday

the problem was not with the guy who invited us because he is really nice

but more with the persons who were invited, a bunch of french and young persons who spent the whole evening complaining about dublin and ireland, its lack of good food, of good music, and saying that the irish were basically just scumbags and farmers drinking beers the whole day.

nice, isn't it? 

i'd like to tell them, go back to your lovely france and enjoy it!!!

CROKE PARK

j'habite juste a cote de croke park (www.crokepark.ie) et vendredi soir, robbie williams jouait la-bas...

nous avons donc decide d'y aller pour ecouter le concert a cote du park, on a d'ailleurs trouve un super spot, une petite ruelle tranquille, juste devant l'entree des VIP.

pas mal, tout le public chantait, robbie williams ne chantait pas trop mal...

bref c'est a refaire...

 

i live just near croke park (www.crokepark.ie) and on friday night, robbie williams was playing...

so we decided to go there to listen to the gig from outside, we found a nice place, a little street just in front of the VIP entrance.

not bad, the entire audience was singing, robbie williams was not singing so badly...

a thing we're gonna do again...
