Mogwai Tour!

<< < (9/9)

Retrospectre:
Just got back from the Perth show and it was pretty great.

I was less than a metre or so away from the band.

Caspian:
HOLY FUCKBALLS

MOGWAI = BEST LIVE BAND EVER <333333333333333333333333

No idea what their setlist was (songs I recognised: 2 Wrongs, Friend of the Night, Batcat, like Herod, Jim Morrison, Space Expert, I Know You Are) but man, it was so entertaining and so massively rocking. I always thought these guys were a bit tame on record, to be honest, but they were just so freaking huge! Epic clean parts, huge walls of noise and massive riffing. Watching them kick all of their distortion pedals on at once in Like Herod.. wow! HUGE. And then the riffs of Batcat. Unfortunately most of the sedate perth crowd wasn't as keen to headbang and get all loose as I was, but whatever. Amazing gig, far better then I expected.

Also: nowhere near as loud as I'd thought? I was expecting some brutal volume, but it really wasn't too bad.

Retro: I was front row, too. Where were you? I was pretty much straight in front of the bassist; the dude with long blondish hair headbanging rabidly.

Retrospectre:
Heh.

I would've been the dude with the long brown hair,black shirt,black jeans twenty centimetres away from you.

Lunchbox:
Oh man Godinpants, I saw them in Sydney too, I was in the second row sans earplugs and it was amazing! I think that Jim Morrison was perhaps the best thing ever to start with, with the little keyboard bit at the start building into awesome, and the last few notes of Batcat screaming out so hard and then ending in blackness was pretty much the best thing that has ever happened to me.
