Thanks!
bY THE WAY
i'LL JUST ADD i FUCKING LOVE HIM
im going to the luminaire show
have never seem him live and get the impression i will not be dissapointed.
me going too
I saw him
@ Tiger Lounge in Manchester and I still can't work out whether it was the best or worst show I saw last year but it was certainly the most memorable.
He was doing his thing and it was really quite good when about 15 minutes in he walks off the stage towards our table and starts banging a big glass ashtray on the table.
I think "Excellent, percussion too" but he gets louder and more forceful with his hits until the ashtray shatters! He then walks to the back of the room and starts banging on the ceiling (low roofed basement club) and moaning.
Attached to the ceiling are a load of cables that run to the DJ booth, he attempts to swing/pull on these but a bouncer grabs him and drags him up the stairs and out on to the street and says DTB can't come back in.
Whilst the above has been happening, his guitar, voice and effects are continually looping. No one knows what’s happening, people are staring up the stairs wondering whether he’ll come back but (after negotiation with the bouncer) he returns and plays a couple of songs before leaving.
It was one of the most compelling performances I’ve seen and what he was doing before the madness was great but I still have the feeling that if I'd paid for a ticket to see him I would have been aggrieved at what happened.
That said, The Complete Guide... is brilliant and I really wont to check him out again on the 12th.
*Apologies for the long post*
* want
not wont
Sounds like him !
His debut is one of my favourite records ever.
YAY
i love the klondyke club. and david thomas broughton. this pleases me.
Good news...
His first record is sublime and i've heard that the new one is even better than that. Check out the new Benjamin Wetherill stuff if you like him too. I think he produced it and it's just as good.
