Craig94 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Did anyone go to the Zidane/Mogwai show in Glasgow on Sunday? I'd image that would have been great! They came to Perth a few years back, I never went, gutted! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonofjenova Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Other than the cold (not as hardy as I was in my youth) and the annoying chatter and constant wandering about by the numerous hipsters in my immediate vicinity (I assume they were in for free, else why spend 25 quid on a ticket and not pay any attention to the performance), I thought the performance was excellent. At various points the music (and not the cool breeze blowing along the Clyde) gave me chills and I was much more engaged by the documentary film than I ever had been watching it at home. On favourite Mogwai albums, "Ten Rapid" is mine ... especially since it features "New Paths to Helicon pt 1" which made an appearance during the encore the other night. I couldn't believe this either - we were on one of the benches right in front of this couple who talked throughout and barely even looked at the screen - madness. Ten Rapid is all the more incredible as it's not an "album" per se, but a collection of songs that hangs together brilliantly - and was made by the group when they were in their early 20's. Great choice. Just noticed your sig / avatar. On a slightly related note, I saw Mogwai perform an unannounced support slot (1st time I ever saw them live) for GSYBE (1st time I ever heard their music) at G2 in the late 90s. Pretty special evening all round. b*****d. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Anyone any idea what sort of set should expected at the Doogie Paul Memorial Concert? Difficult to say, I just hope the crowd are into it. Been to a few of these memorial/charity type gigs before and you always get a cross-section of fans who just don't seem that interested in the music 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On record though they are utterly immense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonofjenova Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Really? I thought GY!BE were brilliant at the Barras and the Arches. They're not as good as they sound on record, but that would be a gigantic ask. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I think it was just me. Everyone around me was describing the gig as life changing and I left in a grump thinking everyone else were morons. Heard the gig at arches was better though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartcraig Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I saw Godspeed at the barras on first lap of comeback tour and they were utterly disappointing. Pretty sloppy as well. On record though they are utterly immense. My first GSYBE gig was pretty much exclusively tracks from "F♯ A♯ ∞"' and I had absolutely no idea what to expect having not heard anything by them beforehand. What I did hear blew me away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Not on any album but My Father My King is crushing and stupidly good. Seen them four times and they vary in quality when live. Best time was in Paisley. Loudest was at Tramway for Triptych. That show was fucking heavy. Stunning track, unbelievable live all 20 minutes or so! Anyway, Jimmy, CODA, that is all you really need. Everything about that album is brilliant from the cover, to where they got the name to the addition of the wind up phone call to Stewart's dad about Stewart going mental and running away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy85 Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) What else have you got for me in the 'post rock' kind of genre? I'm in the process of gathering stuff by This Will Destroy You (who are fucking incredible btw), Mono, Explosions in the Sky and Russian Circles. Anyone else I should be looking out for?

I think Caspian is the best band around atm, just incredible. Other bands worth a listen would be Jakob, Red Sparowes, If These Trees Could Talk, God Is An Astronaut and sleepmakeswaves. Just noticed Consolidate also suggested GIAA. Definitely worth a shot. Edited October 21, 2013 by Tam Servo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I approve of these posts. I'll add a couple of bands: The Allstar Project and canyonsofstatic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
