Hey Sinéad, I can confirm that Bob really liked the poster you made and he took it with him when he was leaving…

Yeah the Point gig was good but it was still the Point, I was a good bit away. Surprised myself to count that I’ve seen them 9 times; Dolans is now my favourite gig of theirs. Took it easy the next night and watched from the front row balcony in the Olympia.

a few thousand standing is what requires pits and bouncers.

it was the most comfortable pit i’ve EVER been in! *that sounds weird*

I only had bruises on my arms this time! no ribs broken hahaha. less than…100 in it!

i’d have LOVED to have gone to Dolans…400 people? soo intimate!

this was wayyy better than the point too.

Ditto the Bob for President Sinéad, he’s cool.
Olympia gig was great but no comparison to Dolans the night before. Who needs bouncers and pits?

Yeah agree about the PP singer, voice didn’t quite cut it, swallowed up a bit in all the synths.

Hockey provided some good indie-pop, sort of like MGMT in Electric Feel mode (both in terms of music and appearance), catchy stuff though fairly generic

Ah yes! Makes sense.

I missed Hockey myself. I thought PP were good but the sound was well dodgy. The guy’s brittle falsetto occasionally fell into a falter and it seemed like he was jsut screaming rather than singing. Enjoyed PP though.

What were Hockey like? I interview them for the site earlier.

That Wogan reference is probably a take on their lyrics in ‘Dark of the Matinee’

“So I’m on BBC2 now, telling Terry Wogan how I made it”

Nice photos! Which did you prefer of the Hockey / Passion Pit show?
