Gigs: The Europeans are coming..
Two gigs on two consecutive Fridays. dEUS in the Ambassador on Friday 4th followed by Sigur Rós last night in The Olympia.
I'm not overly familiar with dEUS, I do own a copy of their 1999 album 'The Ideal Crash', but the CD spent about 3 years sitting in my desk drawer at work, I only dug it out to listen in the car in the week before the gig.
We were a few minutes late in the door, the beer in Conway's being much preferable to the not-worth-the 20-minute-wait muck they were selling in the Ambassador - so much so that we spent most of the gig sucking back G&T's.
The band themselves, well, they looked the part, and sounded it mostly, but it was a bit uneven to my ears. Some of the slower stuff was verging on the boring, and while the faster stuff really got the crowd going by the end of the gig, I did leave a tad underwhelmed.
Thoughts on Sigur Rós to follow...
