It’s that time of year again. The full Oxegen 2011 line-up has been announced and you’ve got to make up your mind about whether you’re still young enough to enjoy dancing in a field and being covered in more muck than Babe. (A good indicator of youth is whether or not you remember Babe and if you don’t, piss off, we can’t afford to get any more frown lines glaring at you). Coldplay, The Script, Arctic Monkeys, Paulo Nutini, Foo Fighters, The Black Eyed Peas…those are the ones your Ma could name if the music police had her over a barrel (not that we’d be making assertions about anyone having your Ma over a barrel, hot and all as she obviously is, sure didn’t she make you). But if you’re not so young or cool (and we find those to be unlikely qualities in a Culch reader, but we guess … There’s more →

Alright, I’m a little late but I’ll be brief. This years Oxegen line-up, while not as fresh or new as previous years, hosts some great acts. There’s a lot of cross over anyone who has been to Oxegen before will know that the stages are all quite close together meaning if you time it correctly you can catch 45 minutes of an act and move on to something else. Here’s my MUST-SEE list: (With MUST-MUST Sees highlighted in full) Friday 10th July 2009 14.00 - Dirty Epics -Heineken Green Spheres 15.00 - The Coronas - Main Stage 15.20 - God is an Astronaut - Heineken Green Spheres 18.05 - Lily Allen - The Main Stage 16.20 - Fight Like Apes - Heineken Green Spheres 18.40 - Duke Special - The O2 Stage 19.00 - The Hours - Hot Press New Sounds Stage 21.25 - Republic of Loose - Heineken Green … There’s more →

acdc played ireland june 28th 2009. Everything that could go wrong on ‘the organisers’ part did. The question is… was it worth it? Firstly, I dont want to take away from the band themselves and the music… most important to me….. but when one pays €153 just to get there. I also bought a car park ticket that I didn’t use. Instead I got the bus. Another €40 for me and John. Throw in some food and a few drinks and you have a pretty expensive day. I work darned hard for my extra spondulas. No matter what….. I did get to see ACDC. They are legends. And for that it was worth it but… similar to the saga that existed when Oasis played I guess it simply left a bad taste in my mouth. The question will always be ‘so how was the ACDC gig’? And I suppose the … There’s more →
