So the three night run for Idles came to a storming end and I am thinking that the 3Olympia have today got the builders in as over the three night not one did Idles but also Chalk between them blow the place apart.
Theres not much I can add to the other two reviews from nights one and two that David and Carl wrote for Mc Gig Music (can be found on site) just I reckon if and when, no lets rephrase that! When the guys hit Dublin again it surly has to be a 3Arena show. If not there is no justice in this world.
Having watched the growth of Chalk for a long time now and wanting to catch them live I was happy once I heard they had been added to the lineup as support.
This is a band that have come so far and have and will in my opinion go a lot further, they I think will be very soon playing headline shows in the likes of 3Olympia.
