What pisses me off the most, is that I’ve NEVER seen SY live!! Every single time they have played here somthing has come up… and this time I could have been standing in the same stage! Grrr
They played in Cork (city where I’m from, southern Ireland) about 13 years ago, I’m just flown back from a summer in the US… I asked my mother to wake me for the show (I had to sleep, I was jettlagged to fucK) I awoke at 3am… my mum said I looked to peaceful to wake!! aagh!!
This was the gig where Kurt Cobain famously slept through SY’s entire set on the steps to the stage… in a small club called sir henrys… a few months later, Nirvana released THAT single, and the rest as they say is history…
I think about a year or so later, there was a huge tour with Nirvana, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr, and a few others Documented in a movie called "The year that Punk broke", a brilliant film, anyone see the movie or any of these shows (theres a cool bit where Thurstin Moore talks to a crazy scooter guy on O Connell bridge in Dublin)xomo
sheesh, all those stars from just the one post???
Nice one. Feeling purty welcome…Theres probably noone awake on the bord right now is there?
Sonic Youth played a festival here in Ireland yesterday, I couldent go cos I had to work (fuckin saturday and all), on my way home I get a call on my mobile phone from my best mate who went to the gig, and I hear Thurstin Moores Voice thanking the croud! Then my friends voice shouting "we just watched sonic youths entire set from the side of thestage!" then he got cut off… Later on they hung out backstage… I could have been there! Instead I had to work… I’m feeling very depressed… very, v e r y depressed…
