Pigstock 2012 - Gacys Threads
Ìý
Engine Room, 1.15pm June 2nd
Describe in a Tweet: Definitely not Thread-bare.
What Happened: The lads are so enthusiastic that they start early, probably a little too early for most of the revellers, especially with the abrasive growls and thumping drums, which handily double as an alarm clock for those in the adjacent campsite (and possibly in Dublin as well). Perhaps in recognition of this 'Weight of the Wretched' goes out to those suffering in front of them, but while it may rouse those who dying, it's heavy enough to also send them to an early grave.
Highlight: Their heartfelt dedication of songs to other bands in attendance highlights the close-knit and friendly vibe of this festival and scene, even if swirling demonic guitar of 'Detach Yourself' isn't the most obvious friendship song.
Lowlight: It may be motivated by their professed desire to get on the booze but their early start catches us by surprise.
Pigstock rating: 7/10
