...broken lighting at that.

They didn't say too much to the crowd either at the last Carling Academy gig, doesn't mean they aren't enjoying themselves. I also saw very little beer throwing, a lot less than your average gig. There is a review in the paper saying the sound was poor, I thought it was pretty good, though they couldn't even get the name of a KOL single right!

If you didn't like it, fair enough, don't go next time. I know I'll certainly be back

[Skacel]

did anyone like manchester orchestra?

i thought they were awesome defo gonna get their album

sound was fine where i was standing no complaints whatsoever

[scottyboy]

i missed the support band. listened to the myspace and didn't think much of it so i didn't bother. the sound was fine in my opinion, but if i pay to see a band i expect at the very minimum to be able to hear everything properly. i disagree that throwing beer at the band and crowd is 'average'. that's literally the first gig i've been to that i've seen that happening. throwing liquids at people beside a load of electrical gear really is a stupid thing to do.

Did Clinic pull out? I was looking forward to seeing them but didnt get there till half 8

I thought the crowd was pretty quiet complared to some of the gigs I've been at recently (Foor Fighters, Fratellis) but I put that down to lack of any commuication between the band and the crowd, though I still say it was a brilliant gig.

Found that review:

I often think the Evening Express writers reporters just watch the first couple songs then fuck off home. You always get "fans swayed to their favourite <blank> songs, such as <blank>, <blank> and <blank> and bounced along in high spirits as the band turned out hit after hit from their new album and earlier albums.

You can basically take that sentence and write a review of any gig with even going to it, and words to that effect feature in virtually every Evening Express review ever.

"The group's sell-out gig at Aberdeen's Exhibition Centre on Saturday brought a loyal fan-base out in their thousands.

And they sang, danced and cheered their way through a rousing 90-minute set.

The boys from Tennessee, who named the band after preacher dad Leon, treated the capacity crowd to a series of hits, taken from their last three albums.

Highlights included a lively rendition of Molly's Chambers, the first single from their 2003 debut, Youth and Young Manhood.

The audience became a sea of heads, jumping up and down as one, chanting along to every word.

Other standout moments included toe-tapping performances of Knocked Up and Be There - both on their current release Because Of The Times."

Are you serious? I've been going to gigs for nearly twenty years and twats throwing their overpriced plastic pints is par for the course. I don't condone it (or understand it) but there always seems to be a minority who do that sort of thing - a bit like one of the clearly "refreshed" lads in front of me who threw his jumper at the across the crowd and was delighted that it ended up on stage (where it was swiftly removed by a roadie).

I stand by my initial impression that it was a solid if unspectacular affair. As someone else posted KOL aren't really a "banter" band. They were at least better than the Red Hot Chilli Peppers the last time I saw them - Anthony Keidis almost defined "going through the motions" and never spoke to the crowd once.

yeah im serious... maybe i just dont go and see enough MOR rock bands
