Damien Rice anyone?

*raises hand*

I love him.

Saw him at T In The Park this year, blew me away.

You already know i also like Bell X1 and Gemma Hayes too...

I posted a link to his website here several months back and received a reply only from Mona.

"O" was only released here in September, I think, and I really like the album. It is starting to get some airplay.

Never heard of him. But I love Dirty Rice

I was enjoying it back in the end of July, early August (click here). Rice's cd is great.

OH, I still want to marry Lisa Hannigan (who appears with Damien),

so if anyone has her phone #, I'd appreciate it!

:edit:If there is any information on any solo work of Hannigan's too - I'd love to hear it.

Who doesn't???

If you take a trip over to www.roadrecs.com, you should find a CD called "Goldfish Memory" - It's a soundtrack to an irish film, Lisa does some solo stuff on that

i thought that song he released recently 'cannonball' was really verage, all the radio staions seem to be going crazy about him though. oh well maybe he'll grow on me.

speaking of growing on me anyone like 'the darkness' on this board?

Cannonball's probably my favourite Damien Rice song, barr one I heard him play at T In The Park that isn't on O.

As for The Darkness. They're great.

You're right iarla. Damien Rice is a great artist. I really like his Cd (I even review it on amazon.fr !!!).
I give you a link where you can see Damien singing 4 songs (covering Tracy Chapman...)for a french radio : Damien Rice session
Lots of love

Hey.. TicketWeb Brixton have some upstairs tix left
for Damien Rice tonight..is it worth us going
along? I've only heard the more mellow stuff - is the whole show made up of this?

Ta!

As long as Lisa's there, I'd be more than happy!

Lisa Hannigan did a solo show as part of the Children of Bam Benefit gig in Vicar St. (Where I Work) in Dublin. She did a jazz show which was amazing. It was also nice seeing Damien and Paul Noonan (his ex Juniper\Bell X1 bandmate) sharing a stage again. As for Damien songs not on O (Many of them rockin!) - They could be any of the following:
Face
Woman Like A Man
Sand
Insane
If You're Gonna Stay
Groovin'
The Professor
Tongue (also on Bell X1's new album)
Eve The Apple of My Eye (Another Bell X1 song going back to Juniper days)
The Blower's Daughter Part 2
Toffee Pop
I'm So Childish
Bottom Shelf
Baby Sister
Little Sister (two different songs)

Saw him at work in December and he was ****in' amazing. Saw him at work at the start of Feb, and he was ok. If you get Damien Rice on a good night, It'll be a gig you'll never forget. If you get him on an off night - His songs still stand up for themselves.

Geddy, I've served Lisa Hannigan at work, have had a few conversations with her on a few occasions (Not that she'd remember me). You jealous!? *grin!*

Its a bit late now as it's a) sold out and b) he'll be on stage in the next 25 minutes...

but apparently last night's gig was fantastic.

You wouldn't happen to know anyone who has a boot of this would ya?

If you head on over to The Frames message board at http://www.theframes.ie/v3/comm you may find someone, as most of the gig goers (and especially audience recorders) in the Dublin scene with the likes of Damo, Bell X1, The Frames,Mundy, David Kitt etc. are a pretty tight bunch and all seem to congregate there (which would be a moderators nightmare, it's rarely on topic). But i think the general consensus was that most people who brought in their MiniDisc recorders turned them off, as it was being recorded already with a view to a release. - It was a benefit for the Bam Earthquake. Good cause me thinks - Organised by Tomo, Damien Rice's drummer.

I do have a decent collection of Damien Rice live recordings though (I refuse to refer to them as boots - Cos they are only for selected trade, and I would never trade them with anyone who would bootleg them) if you're interested, PM me off list.

Damien will be on KCRW tomorrow, 26 March.

I hope someone (Steve W???) can record this...

He's playing in Toronto next month - my friend keeps playing the CD in an effort to persuade me to go see him.
I like his stuff, but not enough to go see him live. I'm too picky about the gigs I go to I guess

Aka you should go. Bet you'd enjoy it.

Yes, yes, go. He and the band are fantastic live.

I gather your friend must be connected, Aka, as these tickets are hard to come by...Convocation Hall is a great venue and I believe this show sold out by mid-Feb...but if you have access to a ticket, AWAY YA GO! I'm very jealous of you.

As for the KCRW thing, it is a guest DJ slot, not a performance...

BUT... I am watching right now. Mmm, he is mmm mmm good (looking). Perhaps it is time for the laminated list addition...

I've got a feeling my friend is just living in his own little world then, 'cos I'm pretty sure he doesn't have tickets yet. Then again, he's also one of these people who can amaze you with the number of spectacular connections that he can draw upon, seemingly at a moment's notice and without a trace of name-dropping. If he wasn't such a nice person it'd make ya sick

Oh yes, SNS, I agee that he's highly laminate-able! Those eyes. Sigh.

Aka, I hope that your friend does surprise you with a ticket...they sound like a good pal. Many Torontonians could take a lesson from them..
