Manchester tonight. I actually have a spare and donā€™t think itā€™s sold out so if anyone wants to take it off me for say Ā£10 then thatā€™s cool.

Their show at KOKO was really, really silly but basically very good. The support (Youthcode) were fucking diabolical thoughā€”it felt like being in the Rammstein section of xXx, or like the police were staging an ā€œalternative concertā€ as a front for a drugs bust. It just felt so anemic and sad.

They were unbelievable in London last time but I couldnā€™t make this one, unfortunately - and guessed theyā€™d be doing same set (NB+Dream House?). Seriously donā€™t know how his voice has held up so well after this long on the road.

Also: super ready to hear new stuff from them.

Canā€™t say the full setlist but it was something like:
Brought to the water
baby blue
language games
Cody (Mogwai cover)
Dream House
Sunbather
The Pecan Tree

Iā€™ve missed a few tracks, but it was a nice balance of old and recent

They did come back after baby blue I think. Baby blue was sooooooo good.

Canā€™t see channel 4 commissioning another series of ā€˜amazing spacesā€™ with him looking like that.

WRT Koko, when did they sort the sound out?! These lads sounded incredible on Friday.

#34

anyway yeah they sounded brilliant but as well as his hair, I wasnā€™t a big fan of Georgeā€™s Michael Jackson esque moves throughout. First time I saw them, he was pretty much stationary but looked really intense and just controlled the crowd with his microphone stand. Added so much more than him constantly dancing and headbanging

The rest of the band are so tight though

The sound was a little bit on the shitey side imoā€”during parts of the more ā€˜traditional black metalā€™ sections it was kind of an impenetrable treble mudstorm.

#37

I thought they were funnyā€”not hard to see why they alienate so many people though. Favourite moves a tie between the effete line dancing throughout and the pensive twerking crab stance while waiting for the guitarist to kick off Dream House.

I was expecting a unilateral sonic disaster tbf having been quite a bit before, this was a marked improvement to me. Could hear each instrument well with it still being noisy as fuck. Guessing itā€™s probably gonna be markedly different depending on where you are.

Yeah they were absolutely excellent last night in Mancheser. Anyone catch the guitaristā€™s withering look at the kid taking on-stage selfies? Funny. Crowd were pretty good too otherwise.
