I had planned on going to see King Kong Company in the Olympia Theatre earlier in this month, but it clashed with a photoshoot at charity gig and, when the charity gig is for a friend, there was only ever going to be one winner. So, arrangements were made to head to Dolan's in Limerick to see them live over the Bank Holiday weekend.
I hit the road late Friday afternoon. Not an ideal time to travel, made even worse because it was a bank holiday weekend here in Ireland. I made it in time though, 15 minutes before doors opened! Happy days. I only wish I'd made it down a bit earlier, I was starving and the food there is always superb, but alas, it wasn't to be and I starved.
Support on the might was from a local band called T.A. Narrative. How can I describe them? Well, picture the style of Human League, the attitude of Sisters of Mercy all mixed with sweet synth pop sounds! I really enjoyed their set and I'd love to see them live again.
Then it was time for the headliners, King Kong Company. There have been, as I said on other posts, a few changes in personnel over the last couple of years, but they are still on top form and superb live. Bobby Fingers makes one hell of a front man when called upon!
Anyway, was it worth 350 km road trip, sitting in rush hour traffic on a bank holiday weekend, just to catch them live again? Oh hell yeah!
Anyway, on to the photos, first T.A. Narrative:
