The atmosphere was further electrified as the (still surprisingly sober) crowd sang along with 'Angie' by David Bowie, an artist who has always provided great inspiration for the band and whom they supported at Slane . The universally loved 'This is' and their own personal favourite 'Down On Me' provided a fitting finale to the brilliantly presented set and as a mini encore Christy Dignam set the crowd going in an a cappella rendition of 'Hey Jude'.

Without a doubt the group had taken this relatively small venue by storm providing a highly enthused crowd with an evening of overwhelming musical entertainment. So, from the Point Cearnogs, to The Point Depot ASLAN move on to a somewhat larger stage, appearing there on December 27th this time without the support of Elation. They can be heard next alongside Electric Lemon when they visit Cearnógs Bar on November 11th.
