you should be
they were immense in nottingham. really funny guys too. the new songs are tipperary to fuck also
i'm going
to it.
Me
but I feel ill/rubbish.
So I'll see come 5ish.
HELL
YES.
I'll be there
anyone know who's supporting?
well, that was kind of amazing.
the only annoying thing was those two men who starting singing loudly and out of tune during the beginning of the end song. when it was totally inappropriate.
Shame there was no support though.
Yeah they were bellowing over every song
but it was so loud I could only hear them because they were next to me.
But during Cold Days In The Bird House the singer was pouring himself into an amazinly emotional performance and all I could hear was these two belters shouting.
LOOK AT US WE KNOW ALL THE WORDS
Otherwise, amazing
Was one of the guys like, 7 foot tall and equally wide?
Coz he was getting on my tits all night too. Came very close to sticking my fist through the back of his head.
It was another great performance. Was a bit pissed that there was no support though - more so, that nobody bothered to mention this. Standing around by yourself doing nowt for 2 hours is damaging to the soul.
Yes, I should get some friends (with good sets of ears).
I totally dug it.
The guy from Aerogramme gave the sound more depth but it wasn't as loud as usual.
I got annoyed with the two guys singing during 'Cold Days From The Birdhouse' too! James was the only person on stage making much noise and all I could hear was these two guys trying to sing in a Scottish accent behind me. James changes the delivery during the live version too, so they kept singing it out of time! Argh.
Putting on the accent was the worst part of it
I do it when I sing their songs to myself. I don't do it in public during a really introspective moment
Ha!
Was it you who was at the Casiotone gig the other week and registered a similar annoyance during the best version of 'Bobby Malone...' one could wish for. Except then it was just some cunt shouting, this time it was some bloke singing. Some people... (them, not you!)
Personally I didn't notice this but then again I always 'lose myself' at Twilight Sad gigs so you could've kicked me square in the tits and I'd still not have blinked...
I went to watch The Twilight Sad on wednesday night.
I blacked out after the 3rd song and awoke to find myself staring at the crisp rack in a Murco garage 2 hours later.
The support band were good though.
Yes it was and that was far worse
These guys were annoying, that guy at Casiotone came within inches of my fuse blowing and getting chinned
I was stood directly behind the huge one
Not only is he a crap singer but he blocked my view of the stage entirely and stank like rotten piss. His little drunk friend was really getting on my tits.
Apart from that, it was good. Though I could have done with a sleep beforehand, the heat in there didn't go well with my tiredness. On a personal note, disappointed with no 'Mapped By What Surrounded Them' but you can't have everything!
Off to see them in Leeds tonight
with Vessels, Wintermute & I Concur, I hope there are fewer annoying people there!
It won't matter,
Everyone will have fallen asleep.
I'm going too.
I'm annoying. Sorry in advance.
Joy!
Probably one of the most boring bands in the world
Agreed
Not boring, silly
amazing is what you mean.
We were supposed to support last night but had to bail. Got told there were 4 bands on! weird
Saw them in Reading the night before tho. New stuff sounds blingin.
how weird!
there must have been some massive mixup, as there was no support bands at all...
Do you know who supported them in Reading?
I remember thinking they were good, a bit weird but good.
Any info appreciated.
Maybe they just need another drummer.
;)
I have to agree
The drummer was drinking beer most of the gig - not good for arm muscles as it slows you down.
He looks and as though he can handle it though.
I think we should develop some secret code for signalling annoyance at particular individuals at gigs.
