What did the Magik Markers set consist of? Any songs from 'Boss' ? ETC

[free tibet]

well i enjoyed all acts, unfortunately i missed most of the Kitchen Cynics, catching only the last 10-15 mins, but what i did see was jolly good. Human Bell were alot "rockier" than i expected and all the better for it. The Magik Markers i thought were sublime, everything i hoped for and more, though i can understand why some folk thought they were shite.
All in all a great night, thanks IMP

It consisted of a Mic-ed up cement mixer, a seagull crying and all put through a distorted amp and then drums played along to it.

oh, and a few songs from Boss.

well, i'll agree to disagree with some of the punters that disliked them - i went away happy.

...and here's some footage of M M's. Youtube have a 10 minute max rule and so i've missed out about 4 minutes of the start of this piece.

To the guys from IMP:

Don't get me wrong, you lot make an astonishing effort every time to put alternative, innovative music on in this fair city. It's utterly commendable, and it is indeed, as Mike said, far better to have bills that provoke debate and are memorable than bills that don't and are not.

I just thought the Magik Markers were utter shite and it doesn't sound like they were particularly nice people, either.

You can hang out at captain toms any night of the week and here people play as shit as that for free!

Touring, headline bands being late for soundcheck/taking a lot of time is just one of those things that happens, it's happened to me and I've made it happen also. All it takes is for one thing to go wrong and your time schedule is fucked for the day.

Pete Nolan seemed nice enough to me - had a chat with him about some of obscure CDrs and side projects of his.

Mind you, i'd just spent 37 quid on merch from him so he was maybe just keeping me sweet.

Aye, for sure, but there are ways to make up for lost time, especially when you know there is an 11pm curfew, setting up a completely different drum kit is not one of em.

Anyway, the night went ahead and everyone played so it doesn't really matter now.

I'm happy for you not to like or enjoy them but to call anything utter shite is much more dangerous, subjective and lazy. MM are a noise band, I though they made a good job of making a noise and I enjoyed watching them do so. Not shite.
