Last night in Whelans was awesome. €14 for 4 bands, roughly 200 minutes of music. The Vinny Club instigated a robot train and utilised a Guitar Hero joystick to generate 8-bit sounds. R.S.A.G aka Jeremy and his virtual band was superb as always, like a man with ADD that makes him bang drums incessantly. A total pleasure to the ears. Ponytail meanwhile, jeez… mental. The singer was possessed. Just look at this:

Love the random “Oh no I’m late for school” moment towards the end!
Really was a deadly evening’s music, Ponytail being the icing on the cake for me. Hope you’d a good night!
I’d like to know the name of that singers chemist.
