We arrived at 7.45pm, thinking that we'd probably missed most of The Glitterati (the tickets said doors at 7pm) - when we got in Therapy? were playing their last song! What the fuck!?

    Where did you go to, you fucking fuck? We waited ages for you at Opium, getting excited everytime one of the many women with pink hair that vaguely resembled you came into eyeshot.

    The lead singer from Therapy? (Andy Cairns?) was there as well. He's a fat man.

    I would concur! "Turning American", "Girlfriends Clothes" and "Beautiful Thing You" were ace. Actually the whole thing was awesome. But check out this set list from the Manchester gig two days previous:

    I Wanna Go Where The People Go

    Greetings From Shitsville

    Top Of The World

    Vanilla Radio

    Girlfriends Clothes

    Beautiful Thing You

    O.C.D

    Someone Who Won't Let Me Go

    Caprice

    My Baby Is A Headfuck

    Action Panzer

    Caffiene Bomb

    Suckerpunch

    Sky Babies

    Nita Nitro

    29x The Pain

    Love U Til I Don't

    You can download that whole show from http://www.sonicshake.net

    That was a way better set than Edinburgh! Did anyone go to the Glasgow date? I'd be interested to hear what they played that night.

    They didn't actually play on Saturday in Glasgow. The gig was hijacked by the roadie supergroup, whose set list was thus:

    1-2 1-2

    Testing Testing

    Big Set of Keys

    Climbing The Lighting Rig

    Roadie Hairdo

    The only member of The Wildhearts allowed on stage was the drummer by dint of his *almost* roadie hair, frightening enthusiasm and resemblence to a member of Whitesnake.

    Did they open with 'Opening Act'? It's something I've been wondering for a while and is it just Pigeon John supporting? Plenty of merchandise on sale I take it with the take lots of money thang. Unless you're a budding mugger with a photo of me ;)

    There's a fairly awful Swedish band before Pigeon John, who do Opening Act as their last song. LOADS of merch, and sadly I won't be in Aberdeen to mug you...

    Only disappointments were the lack of Journey To Anywhere and Energy Drink in their set.

    If there was a way that I could get to Aberdeen tonight, I would. They were superb. Take lots of money with you, sadly I missed out on Pigeon John's album tonight, because I didn't have enough cash, but I've got it on order from Amazon. Just discovered from his website that he's on the Project Gotham Racing soundtrack, gonna fire that up just now and see what he sounds like recorded...

  5. I'm led to believe they're playing Aberdeen tonight, my advice to anyone that likes Tribe Called Quest/De La Soul-y Hip-Hop is to go. You won't be disappointed. The music's great, but the banter's even better. Support act Pigeon John is the funniest, most insane thing I've seen in ages. This man is my new hero...
