The Gigs Thread

[Mason89]

I haven't been back to see Mogwai since coming back from Hampden in 2011. After watching the Dons get gubbed 4-1 (4-0 at h/t), we returned to Aberdeen to watch Mogwai only to find that the tw@ts had tied a Celtic scarf round the drum stands...

Plus HMT is a terrible gig venue

I was quite looking forward to seeing Mogwai at the Connect festival one year. Same thing happened, drummer walked on wearing a brown St.Pauli hoodie & tied a Sellick scarf round his kit. I just f*cked off

They have the drummer from honey blood touring with them now, so no danger of offending Celtic scarves

Ken fit min? You were quite right. It
was the best gig I’ve seen for 18 months.

I’ll certainly be paying attention to your sage-like recommendations fae now on.

Aye, you’re right he was playing tonight. Cracking gig. Sound was spot on. Don’t think I’ve been in HMT since I was a kid but it’s a lot smaller than I remember.

There's not much you can say after going to a gig like that, they get better everytime I see them.

They've got some amount of back catalogue to choose from now as well.

The HMT was alright for a one-off gig like that. The bar shut as soon as gwai came on, which is nae ease.

Being a band ive never really got into on record and ive tried cos i must have most of their albums from a pal, i expected it to all become clear live last night what all the fuss is about.
Was decent in places but i think theres a hell of a lot of emperors new clothes about them. Ive never been at a gig with so many folk yawning and looking really bored.
I love all kinds of instrumental stuff, sonic soundscapes (Durutti Column/MBV/Cocteau Twins/Suicide/Spacemen 3/ electronica from Krautrock to Four Tet, soundtrack stuff and was looking forward to seeing what the fuss was all about and being blown away. Sadly not tho. Going from very quiet to really loud doesnt equal interesting to me. Few decent moments. No Coolverine was also disappointing.

Cool venue for a one-off. We where sat in the dress circle seats like Statler and Waldorf.
The bar closing was a joke.
