This might be going way too far, but maybe we should all become like hardcore Frames fans and violently shush anyone who breathes loudly during the entire gig. You can always hear what Glen Hansard is harping on about! At least back when I was in college, Frames gigs were treated almost as a religious experience.

Of course, we ripped the piss mercilessly at the time.

I think I’ll just continue to moan after the fact!

Down with talking at gigs full stop!

I mean, wtf? If you’re going to dish out the cash to go to a gig why spend it chatting to your buddies? Go to a bar for f’s sake. I’ve had many a friend very upset after coming off stage because the crowd was too ignorant to even TRY to listen.

Ok. I think I’m still a bit angry

The Dublin crowd for T&S was less than respectful – but I think that’s more to do with the fact that there were a number of NEW fans there, that didn’t appreciate the importance of their FIRST gig in Dublin and might have only been familar with the Con and singles released and played on Phantom. It IS after all the first time T&S have had ANY media coverage in this country and to a lot of people at the gig they were a whole new band.

I don’t think that T&S was as much a “poser lesbian gig” as last night was. But can you blame people? Leisha Hailey is a HUGE celebrity in the lesbian community. Luckily for UHH they’re actually a decent enough band with a few strong tunes.

Hey – from the looks of your pictures I think you MUST have been standing beside me last night. Mine look really similar, taken from the exact same angle.
