I recieved my tickets for their gig at the manchester appolo two days ago. Saw them in '05 at manchester academy. and they blew my mind. Hopefully this should be even better.

I nearly went to that gig in '05, but a certain American on these boards persuaded me to give it a miss, much to the dismay of a certain Croatian.
That good was it?...

It was VERY epic. Although near the end they started playing the same bassline for like 10 minutes solid, which got a bit like endurance training.

Other than that, the air stank of weed and a good time was had by all, particularly a guy in a yellow shirt who freaked the **** out at every opportunity.

And the guys who started a circle pit every time the music sped up.

Has anyone heard the bonus tracks yet? How bad was their Nick Drake cover? I'm too scared to listen.

Comus · 01-26-2008, 07:12 PM

I still haven't heard the nick drake cover, but I've heard nothing but good stuff about it.
