My friend Cynthia strongly recommended that we should go see J Mascis (of Dinosaur Jr fame and Cynthia is probably their biggest fan!) who was playing tonight in VoxHall. It was a real spur of the moment thing, as I didn't see her email about the gig until today at 1pm. So Esben and I decided to go, he bought the tickets online (very reasonable price too!) and we cycled into town after dinner. Neither of us really knew what the gig would be like - we had both had checked out the music on YouTube and thought it sounded good. The gig was excellent! The venue was intimate, they sold Murphy's on tap (Esben's favourite) and the music was brilliant. I don't think I've seen a guy play guitar as well as J Mascis did. And to share our experience with you, here's a video from the gig. Cyn, enjoy! (Dinosaur Jr. has two new fans :o) )

I am thrilled to death that you went, that you both liked him and that you posted such a great video. I'm living vicariously, because I don't think he's coming to Dublin this time.
ReplyDeleteWe had a blast! Really nice crowd too - thanks for the recommendation :o)
