29: Thanks a million

So I haven't been around much recently... I'll try harder to be there for you, honest.

Went to Kilkenny (Ireland) to see Low as part of the Kilkenny Arts Festival. It was a great day full of sun in a nice little town and City won too, which was great news. Low's set was cut a little short by curfew but it didn't matter so much because they were simply fantastic. Got to check out the sound check too and they played Words from their first album which isn't likely to happen again soon I wouldn't expect.

They played...
$20
Shots and Ladders
In Silence
Dragonfly
Monkey
Little Arguement...
Shame
Amazing Grace
Like A Forest
Murderer
Violent Past
When I Go Deaf

Mick Turner (Dirty Three) supported which was another great performance. Adam from Stars Of The Lid did the sound so that was obviously top notch too. We all went and drank at a pub after the show and watch match of the day so I could see City beat Blackburn and Arsenal destroy Everton.

After Kilkenny we went to Dublin for a couple of nights. No shows were seen there but we did manage to meet plenty of other tourists in our hostel and get mugged for alcohol. A holiday isn't a holiday without getting mugged, yunno?

Here are pictures of where the show was etc...
