Yeah, apparently it sold out at the last minute. Me and my friend were planning on doing the same, then we got told we were on the guestlist, but that turned out to be a lie, so we just hung out with the Low Miffs instead. Did get to meet everyone after though which was alright. I've changed my opinion on Faris Rotter after meeting him, though, the first time he was a bit quiet and shy which made him seem a bit pissed off, but the second time, he was really nice and spoke without having to be made to.

Love the Low Miffs though. They gave us free singles out of pity... aw...

Way too hot in there. I enjoyed Low Miffs. I heard so many influences in them...Alex Harvey, Pulp, Madness, Dexys Midnight Runners and Muse! (if Matt Bellamy had a sense of humour). When I asked to buy a 7" the singer presumed I wanted a Neils Children record.

Neils Children's first song was really good. Is it an advert or something? I seem to have heard it. They looked like they want to be the Cure or Phil Oakley. They looked ridiculous and after the first song, the rest of the set was boring and repetitive.

Huge gap before The Horrors came on. The gap was longer than The Horrors set. It was ridiculous. I was not happy.

The Horrors were ok I guess. Heavier than I imagined and I don't really know why all the indie kids like them cos they sound almost like Amen covering The Cramps. I'd rather listen to Zombina and the Skeletones do that kinda thing personally.

Dexys and Pulp eh? They sound ace.

Edit: They're pretty meh. Was Malcolm Ross from Josef K/Orange Juice playing onstage with them?

I did quite fancy going to the gig, but I didn't in the end, however I saw a couple of The Horrors walking up Union Street on Saturday, people began shouting "It's The Horrors!". They looked brilliantly out of place strolling amongst the casual shoppers and city businessmen.

Might have been Neil's Children

Didn't actually see any Horrors leave the vicinity of the venue... Strangely, not even to nip across the road to Slain's...

Aye, Malcolm Ross was onstage with the lovely Low Miffs.

I'm sure it was The Horrors as I managed to identify them as being the drummer and the organ player, as opposed to just two people that looked like them.

It was about an hour or so before doors opened I think.

I spoke to someone on msn about this gig, who said '<3<3 FARIS <3<3'.

He is a boy.

The gig must have been good.

[goldengates]

aye, it was the horrors on union st, not look-a-likies cause we spoke to them. they were looking for a shop for "ciggies". That was on our way to the gig, so say, back o 7?

I think they should have been lookin for a square meal myself - they're legs are sooooo thin!

I used to dislike the guy, but after meeting him, he's so very pretty... I'm sure he has this effect of everyone!
