I haven't heard any of it
so over to you BSS, blow me away
I'm
really confused by this, some places are advertising it as a BSS gig but others just as a Kevin Drew solo show, any ideas? I don't suppose it matters either way as I don't have a ticket.
it's
BSS playing the Kevin Drew album.
its bss
playing kevin drews solo album, so they are both half truths
I was meant to but had to sell my ticket to a mate
yep
The tracks I’ve listened to sound really good. I was watching footage yesterday of BSS from the Astoria last year…very excited to see kevin, charles etc again. I hope Apostle is there.
The album is incredible!
you would be stupid not to go
Im not going cause I dont know where it is :(
you should
come to koko. sucky venue, great band.
you should
come to koko. sucky venue, great band.
um,
Scala, Kings Cross, London, England, UK, THE WORLD
Very near the station...
Yes!
I thought I'd rope someone into coming with me but I have failed.
So if anyone needs a ticket PM me...
I hope this isn't
am epic one like a normal BSS gig, I'm shattered.
at the brooklyn show
that drew debuted his album at, they also played superconnected and some other bss song.
That was brilliant
the new songs sounded great and they also played Superconnected, Cause = time, Lover's spit and Major label debut.
But MY GOD WHAT A FUCKING AUDIENCE. 2 girls behind me litreally spent the whole thing taking photos of each other on their phones, 2 guys next to me were taking the piss out of me for doing nothing more than being entusatastic (seriously, nothing more than clapping and singing along) and several people moaning because they were playing so many new songs (despite Kevin quite clearly saying at the start that it was a showcase for new material, and the minor fact it was also printed on the tickets!!)
*enthusiastic
i really liked..
..the Brendan Canning song they did, even though i couldn't really hear the vocals. Some guys next to us decided to go to the pub after half an hour, as he hadn't played any BSS stuff yet. Fools.
Yeah that song was brilliant
A lot of people didn't seem to realise what the night was about, which is fine but don't bloody heckle the band just because of your ignorance.
according to the setlist
the song is called "Hit a Wall", it was really, really really good.
that's the promoters fault
for the birmingham show both the tickets, venue site and ticket site only mention BSS.
It was great wasn't it
I like it when lead singers celebrate their b'day by getting shitfaced on stage.
Highlight for me....Lovers spit, although all the new stuff sounds really really ace. Can't wait ot get the new album
Very good
The new stuff translated really well live, and playing a couple of classics at the end made it even more special, although Kevin Drew rapidly increasing drunkeness meant more talk and less music than I had hoped for. Also good to see Andrew Kenny (American Analog Set) play with them.
hmm..
I had a couple in front of me...who talked throughout the entire gig! And the guy kept bumping into me and his arms felt like sandpaper. Was not best pleased.
It was really really ace
but I had to leave after an hour as I was feeling really unwell and it was so hot in there. I was going to pass out.
But then I felt bad about leaving as there were all these idiots walking out going "That sucked arse, I mean they weren't playing any BSS songs!" - Read the tickets DUMBASS!
major label debut?
i = :(
yup
the speeded up version, it was joyous.
i'm actually
tempted by the koko show now :(
i wasn't quite sure if...
it was a masterful joke, pretending to play another random song and then going into 7/4 Shoreline or not?
The crowd didn't seem to get it.
Which made me question whether i was reading more into it than required?
?
i think i meant
... cause=time not 7/4
Also did anyone else think
without all the othe rinstruments they sounded, you know, like, ROCK!
yea....
the sound was wierd... i remembered thinking on quite a few of the songs some of the more subtile bits were lost in the mix as the guitars were REALLY LOUD.
great gig though, the new stuff sounded really good.... it shows that there are loads of prime cuts off Spirit If... Pressure Kids, Frightening Lives, Bodhi Sappy Weekend...
crowd: poor old bss... ok, they've chosen possibly the hardest route they could have managed - go on tour with just some guitars and play a bunch of new songs - Drew did the right thing with the whole "no pressure" thing.
the crowd near me (right, by the speakers) wasnt too bad...
whats the name of the song off Feel Good Lost they played (as the intro for Superconnected?)... everyone talked over the start of it :|
i'm definately going to Koko... hopefully the crowd will be more familiar with the album
that was guilty cubicles off feel good lost
i was kind of impressed at how much fun they seemed to be having given how rubbish the audience was. i overheard some dude afterwards telling his friend that 'like every time i've seen them before, the audience seems to be split 50/50 between ordinary, cool people and total morons', which seemed about right.
but OH MAN, did i have fun. although i really thought they were gonna play a KC accidental song right before they went into cause=time. i was almost disappointed, until i realised that yes, they were playing cause=time.
hurray!
