Music The Streets

[Pogue Mahone]

Touring again, for the first time in 7 years. I was at one of their shows last night (Olympia. Dublin) and it was great. Forgot how many catchy tunes he wrote. Puts on quite a show too. The whole place was jumping. Almost worth today's brutal hangover. Almost.

Anyway, anyone else a fan? Anyone planning on checking out this tour?

Cannot stand him sorry.

It’s ok! People are allowed to like different things

Funnily enough I've been listening to a bit recently. Reminiscing.

Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living was/is fantastic. A Grand Don't Come For Free as well

It’s a “greatest hits tour” so lots of tunes from those albums get an outing. Worth checking out if there’s a venue near you.

Original Pirate Material got a fair few plays in College. Jesus, 16 years ago.

is he doing much new stuff?

 

[villain]

Blinded by the lights is one of my favourite songs ever.

Can't imagine what he's like at a concert though

feck off with this, this is an internet forum. Civil discussion has no place here. Call him a cnut ffs!

Don’t think so. Only discovered his most recent album the other day and that’s 7 years old. He’s been on a bit of hiatus for most of the last decade. I think he had M.E.

Pretty damn amazing.

I was peak stoned/pissed when they played that tune last night, mind you. So not a reliable witness.

Original Pirate Material and A Grand Don't Come For Free were great albums, might have to give them a listen again.

Edit: Computers and Blues was a good return to glory too.

Love me some Mike Skinner.

I quite like his newer stuff in The D.O.T as well with Rob Harvey. He's also into DJing and has made some remixes and produced some dance songs.

I think he was on stage last night. Someone who sings like him anyway. That’s assuming he’s shaved all his hair off and grown muscles.

Was probably him, he is bald alright. Not sure about the muscles though.

 

[Dans]

I bought an album by them once on somebody's recommendation - I think I listened to two tracks before deciding it would never again see the darkness of the inner realms of my cd player.

 

[SteveTheRed]

Original Pirate Material was outstanding, it's still great now. I've seen The Street but at a festival so it wasn't great, imagine a gig would be much better!

Hmm playing Brixton next week...may have a look!

Is that at the Academy? Would be perfect size for this show. Do it!

To be fair, that song must be enjoyed while drunk/high.

I might put him on my list of artists to see

Yes it is, sold out though!

Good to hear, seeing them tonight in the Olympia and can't wait!

Nice! Where are you sitting? I was up in the Gods. Was very jealous of everyone in the lower levels.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Also. Take it easy on the Cute Hoor beer. It’s delicious but I’m in absolute ribbons today. That stuff takes no prisoners.

Standing

Haha cheers for the advice, plan is to get ourselves a nice feed of Guinness in Brogan's next door

 

[Classical Mechanic]

Might give some of his stuff a listen, it didn't land on me at the time 'I thought 'Dry your eyes mate' was very cheesy.

 

[Henrik Larsson]

Been a long time, absolutely loved them back in the day. Had a mate who was an even bigger fan, that guy listened to them non stop for years without barely playing anything else.

I remember seeing them at Werchter one time standing in some pyramid that was completely trembling and going nuts. Weirdly and sadly that is pretty much literally all I remember, due to obvious circumstances. Just googled it and it was in 2009, supposedly they were in excellent form that day.

Edit; watching some old footage on the youtube is starting to bring back flashes

I'll check it out.

I agree with @vi1lain I'm not sure how he'd be live.

 

[Mighty Boosh]

Very enjoyable gig, hopped into the circle at the very front and had Mike crowd surfing and singing in the crowd beside us

 

[Pink Moon]

Haven't listened to The Streets for a while.

Original Pirate Material and A Grand Don't Come For Free are brilliant. Love the music to Has It Come To This?

 

[Tarrou]

Anyone heard the new album? First impression its pretty good, though granted my expectations weren't that high

Love the last track 'Take Me As I Am', proper D&B track
