Fuck yes. They're excellent live, will likely head to this.

If they did Limerick I'd definitely go, but there's very little would get me to Dublin these days

I've just found out they're playing Cork on the 23rd as well! Thank fuck

Just saw the cork gig online there too.  Lethal definitely driving down for that.

Lovely hurling. I've seen them a few times over the years - always good - they played Cyprus Avenue once, if not twice, that I recall as well.

I wonder if the sound system in The Pav is up to this though?

[Carnage]

Do they play the recent stuff live, or the drone stuff? The last album of theirs I liked came out in 2008.

Should be fine. They regularly host dance nights and any time I've stuck the head in those have been fairly slamming, that stuff is pretty demanding on the system. Last (only) time I saw Earth it wasn't outrageously loud, and it wasn't PA limitation because I saw The Body in the same venue and jeeeeeeesus that was heavy. They've space to run amps loud to carry it anyway, just need a touch of reinforcement.

It's not the volume that would concern me - it's more the nuance.

The Pav used to have an infamously small sound sweet-spot of about 2 square metres on the centre left-hand side of the main floor. 

I saw The Buzzcocks there years ago, it was loud as all Christ but you couldn't actually hear anything.

That may have been a bit ahead of my time, but haven't noticed any major issues at any of the iterations of the place I've been to in the meantime - every single one of which used a different sound system, as far as I'm aware.

They can play through a tin can for all I care anyway, I get to walk down the road and see Earth

This is true, of course. As usual I focus on the finger and miss all the heavenly glory.

Earth down the road, coupla' two or five pints and home on a ten minute bus.

Tickets don't appear to be on sale yet.

What is age limit in Pav for this I wonder

What is age limit in Pav for this I wonder

I would imagine it's 18+ but there's no mention of it on the listing. Doors are early too.

You could always message Michelle @ Tinnitus Promotions - she's fairly quick to respond.
