A bit of a let down to be honest. Holy Fuck were briefly excellent last night though it took them about 20 minutes to hit their stride and when they got there they were only on top of their game for quarter of an hour. Before that the most impressive thing about them had been Matt Schulz's barefooted drumming and Graham Walsh's Big Black T-Shirt. To call it a bad gig would be completely unfair but considering the reputation that they've got as fearsome dance noise terrorists they didn't get me to do all that much dancing. In a festival with the dynamics of the set changed a little they could be epic but last night, not so much.
Far more entertaining was the soundtrack to my drive to and from the gig. I returned to an album by one of my favourite that I'd not listened to in about a year. So in honour of Graham Walsh's clothing choice here's my favourite song about fucking.
MP3: The Wrens - I've Made Enough Friends from Secaucus.

Were you at This Will Destroy You last night?
I was at Whelan's last night but missed the gig. I went to a friend's birthday party so didn't get to Wexford St. till after midnight.
Any good?
Yeah, they were pretty good. They can get quite heavy at times, and it kinda surprised me. The only downside was that it was a Bud Rising gig, so there of course were ads plastered over every available bit of wall, and you could only get Bud if you wanted a beer.
But I won't complain about that too much, since it was only €7.50 in!
