That’s a weird mix of venues. Belgrave only holds about 200
should be at the brude
no manchester gig is strange as well
Irish centre was a good size for them when they played there
Finally they make it to Bristol. Shit venue again but provided it’s not silly money I’m there.
Just for clarification here:
cheers for this!
It’s a fucking amazing performance and the new songs are sounding STRONG. Love this band!
Always think of Ryan Gosling whenever listening to BSS (Half Nelson OST). Great soundtrack that one.
if i despised their last two albums will i enjoy this? can’t bring myself to press play.
You didn’t like Hug of Thunder?
utter dogshit.
they were a genuinely exciting band who could swing between gorgeous ambient music, Dinosaur Jr-fuzz and weird, dense compelling shoegaze - i think it’s telling that Drew was so critical of the production on the self-titled record (a brilliant album), because it’s been all downhill from there
I think they’ve let more filler bleed into the more recent records, but for me theres 5 or six on both of them that are up there with any of their older output. Hug of Thunder itself is one of the best songs they’ve ever written.
i also think, in hindsight, the producer on those second and third albums was a massive factor in the same way that Sitek was on the early TV on the Radio records.
Just want to say I’m completely with you on this
Hug of Thunder was great
Thought Hug of Thunder was incredible personally and a massive return to form after Forgiveness Rock Record (which was kinda bland). Also that live video is brilliant.
