OK I am older than most commenting but i will say that when I first saw Fontaines DC at Whelan's in Dublin, I was totally hooked. Grain reminded me of the first time I saw Jim Morrison at the Whisky-a-Go-Go in Los Angeles. The poet standing alone on the stage professing his words amid the music created by and surrounded by his band. the poet stands out. He and his words shine.
agreed. I am 53, saw them live last night (opener for Arctic Monkeys). I was babysitting my daughter at the concert, but I became a fan immediately! It reminded me of The Verve, whom I love, especially live!
Word! I am 59, in a post-punk band myself (drummer/vocalist) and I recently discovered these guys as well as Idles (both of whom I think are brilliant). I would KILL to see these guys perform here in Santa Fe or Albuquerque, and would KILL to open for them!...oh, and I am a woman who plays drums. BAM!
saw them a year ago at the end of summer playing a music festival in switzerland - that gig is stuck in my mind forever, it felt nearly surreal because there was so much energy there can`t even describe it
Caught the Fontaines DC in Los Angeles at Prima Vera Fest & I can't believe how fresh they sounded!! Really enjoyed their set, cant wait to see them again!
When I was I child my mother used to read to me carriageways, she would read in the tempo of a train! He’s the only person I’ve heard that’s how it should be actually read!!
I used to think BIMM was a Billy Barry stage school for idiots. How wrong I was. If you are 20 years of age and into music, you are in a very bad way - no investment, no labels, everyone out to rip you off the second you play live. I have come to realise that BIMM is like getting a good producer on board, because most producers have been made redundant. Some of those excellent producers and musicians actually work at BIMM, so in a way, it's like getting the guidance from a good producer and a 21st Century way of meeting like minded musicians - in the 1980s you'd get studio time and investment from a label after you pinned your "bass player wanted" A4 adverts on the steps of Freebird records. This is the new way, and some of the good guys are at BIMM telling these young bands the pitfalls and more importantly, the people to avoid.
Oh my god I love you man then you reference Robert Louis Stevenson… here I’ve wrote you a song. It’s as Irish your getting in a Scottish setting She was giving out Said I don’t give a bollox She says runners I say trainers It’s an Irish wedding in a Scottish setting How are we forgetting Cause you can’t beat an Irish wedding with a Scottish setting How are we forgetting No time for regretting It’s an Irish wedding With a Scottish setting How are we forgetting She clipped my ear Skelped me on the rear Said Keir Stop drinking beer! How are we forgetting It’s an Irish wedding In a Scottish setting How are we forgetting Ya bleedin mad thing How are ye Happy holidays Is it paddy’s day or Burns Or is it us I get missed I get mixed up At an Irish wedding in a Scottish setting I get mixed up The times we can’t ever be forgetting No time for regretting this great wedding of my Irish bride and my Scottish man , in any setting. It’s an Irish wedding in a Scottish setting. Ya bleedin mad thing.

Wow! You got to see The Doors live at the Whiskey!?? That must have been awesome. What year was it?
Yeah, I’m impressed too!

The more I learn about this band the more I like them.
I try to learn about them a little at a time, but after a few minutes end up watching them perform Big on KEXP, and that's me ready to tackle the day.
All of the members of FDC seem intelligent, wise old souls.This bodes very well for their future.

Very smart and elequent young man
Been to many punk gigs and fontains at the barrowlands Glasgow was more lively then 75% of them. Such a good live act. Absolutely class ❤
I'm seeing these guys live this year and I couldn't be any more thrilled.
I lovw his elf ears , he's absolutely gorgeous ❤❤❤
Fantastic, thanks for this
Really enjoyed this a couple of years ago. Thanks for posting it. 😊

Nice. I'm from Dublin myself not too far from where Grians from, havent caught them live yet but they're next on the list.
saw this band live at the wiltern in LA earlier last month, they put on such a great performance, cant wait to see them again
When I was I child my mother used to read to me carriageways, she would read in the tempo of a train! He’s the only person I’ve heard that’s how it should be actually read!!
Nice one for uploading this
I'm an American so hearing his Dublin dialect is wild!!
American accents are more bizarre and weird
It's almost like a seperate country 5,000 miles across the atlantic has a different sounding accent!
One smart cookie, for sure.
Great stuff -- I'm late to the party as always!
Obrigado :D
They ripped it up in Brooklyn last night

It is a bit of a Billy Barry school to be fair. But every now and then someone like grian is bound to randomly go there

Fontaines D.C. came from Bimm? does that make Bimm cooler or Fontaines D.C. less cool?

Joy Division Cosplay
Every post-punk band is inspired by Joy Division, for obvious reasons.
@@ourkidof91 Im only being a prick I love Fontaines D.C.
@@IrishPablo94 fair enough fella, sorry for the snarky response.
I know you’re joking but i do think he looks a bit like Ian Curtis
And joy division was doing the velvet underground, and the fall was doing captain beefheart, and captain beefheart was doing howling wolf
What a boring interview 🤣
then why are you here. This was very interesting imo
@@JackMorgan06swear, this guy must want Grian doing backflips or something while answering questions??
wannabe Joy Division
They are better tbh
I love them but they are not better than JD. Not a fucking chance.
Clown.
You sure are
Ha ha hella jealous fella
We're all clowns mate, some are just better at it than others.
Don’t be so hard on yerself😂
one hell of a smart and talented clown
