My sister Niamh, Ian, and I went to the 2fm 2moro 2our show in Electric Avenue in Waterford yesterday. No photos, I’m afraid; Niamh had meant to bring a camera, but when we got there, she realised she’d left it behind. Ah, well.
First up were the local band who were playing, The Siam Collective, were weren’t bad, but weren’t quite my cup of tea. The sound was rather muddy too, which didn’t help. I discovered that Niamh was friends with, and went to college with, John Leech, one of the guys in the band.
Next up were Ham Sandwich, who had a great set, and we’d the craic with Podge afterwards. Sound man.
After that were Concerto for Constantine. Sigh. I can’t believe I subjected my eardrums to that shite. Think Muse with a better drummer trying to play Tool’s backcatalogue. Yup, that bad. The world doesn’t need another Muse. The crowd they pulled consisted almost solely of groupies there to fawn over Mark Greaney.
Because of how bad Concerto for Constantine were, we didn’t bother hanging around for David Geraghty, which may, in hindsight, have been a bad idea.
Tonight, Ian and myself are heading to see Director in The Forum, which ought to be a good gig.

Just back and I must say you missed out by not hanging around for David Geraghty. He was a class above the rest of them. Concerto for Constantine had some good points but when they did the same thing in every song it got mega boring. And my ears are still ringing from them!
