Unsane - Cork, Cyprus Avenue - 11.05.2023

[StoutAndAle]

Unsane are making a welcome return to the island. I haven't seen them live in nearly 20 years.

Dublin and Belfast gigs too. Not my gig to promote. Just heard about it earlier (and probably wouldn't have heard about it at all otherwise).

Meh!

Considering spinning down and back for this, would like to see them live.

You've a shite (I cannot emphasise how shite it is) couch to crash on if you don't feel like the drive

Lol you're really selling that couch to me.  Sound as a pound, I might take you up on that, I see it's a Thursday though so I won't know until the week before (but I'll be on to you regardless)

More interestingly Boris are playing

Just checked the price €17.50, bargain. Will be hitting this for sure.

This is only a week away. I've been playing their first couple of CDs for the last while.

Forgot how solid much of their early stuff is. Everything up to and including "Blood Run" is worthwhile. Tracks like "Body Bomb", "Over Me", "Concrete Bed" "Trench", "Hazmat" and "Scrape" (of course) are hardcore classics by any measure.

I don't own anything beyond "Blood Run" but the later albums are decent enough.

My nephew really enjoyed Boris and Pupil Slicer, some clips looked the business. How'd you enjoy it Ollie?

I must check out Unsane yet but will likely head in anyway next week. Cronin's Cider in the Long Valley for starters 😋

Sickened I missed Boris, and it is now panning out that I won't be able to make Unsane either.  Downer.

[StoutAndAle]

Photos/videos of the Boris gig in Cyprus Ave. looked good. Have to weigh that up with how many people were stood there with their phones out of course!

I didn't go to Boris myself (seen them twice before and was bored beyond belief at their last Cork gig - also in Cyprus Ave.). I have yet to hear a first hand review.



Back on topic:

Fuck sake - I was going to find you and roar "chorus pedal" in your ear for the duration.

I deserve it at this point.  I nearly have the PCB for my delay done, I had two overdrives to do up before I order all my next/new circuits but fuck it I'll have a look at a Chorus design next instead, it's about time lol.

Also back on topic - try to catch Worn Out at this if you can, great band.  If anything changes (work/life eases off enough for me to make it down) I'll message ye too.

Is that who's supporting - didn't see a mention of support anywhere? I've seen Worn Out before (on a bill with Bailer perhaps...) but I'll definitely see then again.

Boris gig was unreal, wasn't quite ready for what they did. Not too bad on the phone front tbh!

Looking forward to this now and Worn Out are on a roll at the moment, just keep getting better and the sound coming out of their rehearsal room the past few weeks is vicious.
