I was due to see King Kong Company perform in Naas recently, but unfortunately, that festival got cancelled. So, when I was asked if I'd like to go see them in Dolans , Limerick, I obviously said yes! I hopped in the car after work last Friday and hit the road. A few stops alongt he way, and I was there by 19:30, in plenty of time to make the show. I've seen King Kong Company plenty of times now to know what to expect. I was curious to see how Bobby Fingers would perform though, what with him have a dodgy leg. I needn't have worried though. He bounced around the stage on one leg, waving a cane in the air like a mad man! Support on the night was from local hip-hop artist, Citrus Fresh , a new name to me, but I really enjoyed his set. Anyway, on to the photos:
I headed over to Judge Roy Beans in Newbridge last weekend for the inaugural Bandamonium show. What's Bandamonium I here you ask.
Well, on Saturday night, it was all about three young bands, The Hex, Barrfite and Ritalin. I'd heard of The Hex before, but the other two bands were totally off my radar and I'd no idea what to expect.
The stage, normally at high level, was moved to the floor to allow the crowd interact more easily with the bands, and it worked out a treat!
So, the bands, were they any good? They were indeed. They were all loud and rocking, but I think my favourite were The Hex and their fantastic track, Ethanol.
All in all, a good night of Rock n' Roll, and I'm looking forward to Bandamonium 2!
