Murder One Belfast 2003
If I remember right I was supposed to be at Sourvein in Glasgow the weekend of this gig but they cancelled. So I went to Belfast instead for some r&r

The Naut Wolfhound Cork 2003
Singularly probably the craziest gig I ever put on. Small bar, drunk crowd, up for the craic, messy all round.

Mastodon came on played their silly complicated rock and tried to look clever (they were alright but you know I was waiting for something else). The only notable thing they did do was cover ‘Emerald’ by Thin Lizzy which was pretty awesome, but the rest of their set was a bit, "music to do sums by." Then High On Fire came on, three men, shirts off, hair long, and played the most full on set of heavy rock I have ever seen. They had clearly decided to steer clear of the doom rock numbers and just played a set of songs that sounded like the most righteous hardcore band ever, discovering weed but not quite having enough to slow them down too much. Raging full on, they played most of the tracks off their latest opus, ‘Surrounded By Thieves’ and all I could do was stand there with my brain running out of my ears. It's not like they tune their guitars down to C or employ some kind of ludicrous techno know how, they just sound as heavy as fuck! I mean, come on, the bass player even had a flying V bass! Although Matt Pike is so fucking rock that he had to invent his own guitar amp to sound heavy enough (the black amp, by Matamp), but I just think that it goes to eleven. After the show we ate chips and cheese and shouted at everyone for the next three days. I think it was the best thing ever in my life.

The Naut First Gig
The members that comprised The Naut have been up and down the road to Cork the last 10 years in their various incarnations as Cosmonaut, which made way for The Naut and then split into Slomatics and War Iron.
This set was shot in Giro's in Belfast when they supported Severed Head of State on Saturday May 3rd 2003
They came to Cork later that year to play a gig, which will be the subject of a future blog post. The bar they played was a tsunami of crowdsurfing and general rocking out

They later came back to repeat the treatment at the first Jazz Funeral gig I put on, again the venue went stircrazy, unfortunately the pause button was accidentally hit on the camera that night.

Like a Kind of Matador Live 2003

This set was filmed on the 8th of April 2003 when Like a Kind of Matador supported The Dudley Corporation and Boris in Whelan's in Dublin. My first experience of LAKOM but not the last. They came to Ireland 2 more times and played gigs that I organised in Cork.


Now broken up, members have gone onto bands such as Gruel and McWatt. See below for some links
