I was close to the front center stage for most of the show, which I'll never do again. I'm too old to be kicked in the head by crowd surfers, or have beer spiiled as over me by slam dancers. Next time I'll retreat to the lawn, and have a seat there.

I did all that three years ago this week in Dublin. Taking up slam dancing at the age of 49 is pretty surreal. Even more so when you're a shortarse.

Is that the case also in Europe????

Blank Frigging Stare

I've seen them three times. Once in Dublin (2012) and twice at Shepherds Bush in London (2011 and 2015). Hard to make a generalisation from the Dublin crowd, but in London it was predominantly older punks and skinheads.

I was seated at the London shows, but from what I saw before, during and after the gigs, they seemed a much friendlier bunch than their appearance suggested.

They tend to mostly play festival dates in Europe though so I guess its not really 'their' audience.

Some quality mentalists at this German festival from 2009, though.

I flew over to London to see them at Shepherds Bush Empire two months ago. They were utterly brilliant as always.

Agree totally. Just simply one of the best bands on the planet. Any rock n roll fan who doesnt know them is really missing out on something special.

The cover of 'Wild Horses' they did that night worked surprisingly well.

Here's the tour dates. Go and see them if they play anywhere near you. You're in for a treat. Great rock 'n' roll.

I've never even heard of them before, not ever! How bloody bizzare. They seem to be well known in UK & US. I must investigate.

They seem to be a bit more popular in places like Germany. A bit of a cult act in the US I would presume - especially in California. Here's the last album they did :
