Standard band quote below:
“We are very pleased to announce that our only UK show this year will be on Wednesday June the 8th on the opening night of the new Glasgow venue The ABC in Sauchiehall Street. As the name suggests the venue is in the building which previously occupied the ABC Cinema. Having seen the venue we are immensely excited about being the first band to play in it.”

The ABC is located at 330 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, G2 3JA. Stick that in your multimap.com and smoke it...

As far as I am concerned, Mogwai are as welcome in London as the Poll Tax.

Oooo, how cutting, I sense a war, and to Tobykiller, I've never actually seen Mogwai live so that's why it dissapoints me.

HA, yeah that slipped my mind...basically i meant happy songs for happy people, goverment commisions is more of a greatest hits, but in a hip indie way no doubt.

Hello.

I think Mogwai have been awesome each time I've seen them live (to varying degrees of awesome-ness admittedly)... so if they're the same everytime I'm more than happy with that.

What do you want Toby - Stuart to come on wearing spandex? Can you tell me a band who does something different each time you see them - seriously, this isn't a sarcastic statement or a challenge, I'm genuinely interested.

Re: Mogwai announce only UK gig of the year

Ok, sure, well i guess , when i see a band a bit of diversity wouldnt kill, ie maybe talk to the audience, the quite/loud vibe they have goin on is great, but althogh last time i saw them (the third time) they did use a vocoder thats about as different mogwai have been, dont get me wrong when i saw them play with the cure they were great, but erm stuart to come on wearing spandex? you must be being sarcastic. It just seems everytime they play its the same formula.

i got my ticket for this about a month ago!!! shame you hadnt announced the date then as some people might have been able to sort travel arrangements/get tickets before they sold out.

Yeah, this did sell out ages ago. I can't go due to exams otherwise I'd be catching a train from Watford to Glasgow.
