Riptide Movement
|
I just noticed that The Riptide Movement have made the cover of HP. Fair play to them. They really are the hardest working band in the land.

| skennedy, the sooner they ban any form of electrical amplification for busking on Grafton St, the better!

You have a point, Snapshot.
But TRM do work their arses off. They shifted well over 10,000 copies of their first album busking.

| The new album is a good old fashioned rock'n'roll record. Nothing wrong with that!

This is nothing to do with the quality of the music but, every time I walk down Grafton Street and see a band with a full rig set up, it just makes me a little bit angry.
Worst busking offenders on Grafton St:
That guy dressed in the Tiger costume.
Pan Pipes played to a backing track.
Any guitarist playing to a backing track.
Those guys that do the those "space paintings".
The people watching those guys doing the "space paintings" thinking "oh isn't that original" despite there being a space painter in every city in the world.
Bands with a full electric amplification and a full kit. If you want a gig, then do a gig, but quit thinking that the rest of us want to listen to you.
Buskers that can't sing.
Buskers that can't play.
Fuck it, buskers.

| you should try it s'metime. you learn a lot about people wh'n you're busking. it's not as easy as it looks, to do enough to earn some decent quids.

| Snapshot, I can only hope and pray that Glen Hansard or Gabrielle y Rodrigo never stumble upon this thread. It would be the end of them.

| Fuck that. I've no problem with a small amp or two on the go and busking is one of the great parts of city life in Dublin. I do agree with you about the guys with the space paintings though - what the fuck is all that about

| I'm all for the amps. They drown out the guy with the accordeon!
