I actually only just got around to reading this review tonight, and I am actually pretty disappointed in you, Dom...
Firstly, the obvious fuck up...
Mz Ann Thropik has FIVE members, NOT four.
Secondly, the stupid shit...
No one cares that you felt left out because of how you were dressed. Their was plenty of people there in jeans and a t-shirt, many of my friends for instance, and none of them felt the least bit out of place. Also, what's with the black hair and goth reference, and yet failing to mention that both Magdalena and Chantel had blonde hair? IF you are going to discuss the merits hair color in a music review, at least have the decency to present a balanced opinion...
Anyway, onto my main point...
Now, it's obvious that you are not a fan of Magdalena, and the bulk of that review was aimed at her, and yes, I guess it is pretty much her band...BUT, Chantel also happens to be in that band, and a major contributor at that.
Remember Chantel? Your "friend"? A person that has supported your musical endeavours since before I even knew her? The "friend" who has been to more of your bands shows than any of your other friends combined?
You do understand that the night of the CD launch was a HUGE achievement for Chantel, right? You know as much as I do that Chantel lives and breathes music. You know that it has been a dream of hers to be a performer, musician, songwriter, and to actually achieve something within the music industry. You and I and most of the musos we know have had those same dreams ever since we were kids...
And there she was, at that the end of a long journey, and the beginning of another one. Up on stage at the Gaelic, in front of close to 400 people, made up of fans, friends, family and supporters, celebrating a work which she helped create...
And what do you do? Publicly shit on it.
You, her "friend", mention her once, fleetingly, and proceed to slag her band.
Very nice. I hope you're proud of yourself...
