  2. [GIG] Archives + Maths + Friday Night Gunfight + We Shall Be Blessed

    in Gigs & Event Announcements

    Posted

    for anyone who cares; someone (not actually sure who) stuck a new song up on the Archives myspace player from an album we recorded before we split up. It's called Skvotter.

    Archives on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

    A release may happen at somepoint this year too.

    I don't know why I chose this thread to mention it, probably because it was the funniest and I showed a lot of resolve not to abuse cloud in it.

    :D *high pitched* yaaaas

    Balcony was good for Deftones. I enjoyed "old-manning" it up, it looked far too rammed downstairs.

    Pity i didn't make it to the Sigur Ros gig but they were amazing the last time i saw them.

    agreed. i genuinely wouldnt have been able to see.....we also enjoyed some gentle head bobbing eh phil :p

    With hindsight a balcony seat would've been lovely for Sigur Ros. My legs were aching by the end! But then I wouldn't have been in the midst of the confetti.

    The only problem with Carling Academy seating is you have to be early to get a good seat!

    The confetti surprisingly reached us balcony lot :up:

    When Jonsi asked the seated folk to stand and clap along to Gobblidigook we all hastly had torches shone in our eyes and got told to sit down...:down:

  8. Sigur Ros at Carling Academy

    It WAS overly rammed! I remember at the barrowlands a few years back I got in for 8 and they were selling reduced tickets on the door. I was a bit annoyed that most people only really knew the new songs and Hoppipolla, so talked through the ones the didn't know. But that's just me being a grumpy muso. I'd rather this than have to see them at the SECC which I'm scared is where they'll be forced to play if they ever come back.

    i shudder at the thought.......

    i had a seat up on the balcony, which i must say is always the better option for someone who is 5ft 3. Luckily i had no bother from the mongs that you guys talk of. Although there was this one lady, i actually counted - she went to the toilet NINE times, walking past me everytime, meaning i had to stand up to let her fat a** through....

    As for Amiina...i did miss them even though i have not seen them perform with Sigur Ros before.

    Does anyone know the reason they didn't invite them along for this tour?

    Was gutted not to get to this. Saw them at Connect and they were by far my highlight highlight of the weekend. Was a relatively similar set though, Gobbledigook is amazing live with all the drums. Truly an amazing and creative band.

    Superb photos as well.

    They are indeed amazing :)

    and thank you

    If this review appeared in a proper music magazine it would be amazing. Why did you get escorted out?

    Because if your a photographer and you don't have a ticket or some form of other pass to let you in to see the whole gig you don't get back in...apparently. I don't know if thats the deal at Carling Academy only or if its a general thing amongst the bigger venues.

    But i showed my guest pass i got right back in 8-)

    I thought this gig was outstanding!

    Not only did i have a photopass

    but i got a guest pass too............................:love:

    as far as i remember they played the following songs - the order will be dodgy as im going by my memory alone. if anyone can correct me, please do :)

    1. Svefn-g-Englar

    2. i genuinely don't remember the second track as i was so immersed with my camera, twat that i am.

    3. the 3rd track i missed as i had to get escorted out the side door and then i went round to the front and back in to watch the rest of the set

    4. Vi Spilum Endalaust

    5. Hopppolla

    6. Me Blnasir

    7. Inn Mr Syngur Vitleysingur

    8. Hafsl

    9. Festival

    10. Sglpur

    11. Gobblidigook (with the members from For A Minor Reflection drumming along and the confetti)

    Encore:

    I can't remember the 1st one...but the second was Popplagi which was unbelievable!

    What did everyone think?

    You can see my photos here - Flickr: beth ashley alexander's Photostream only 1 up justnow

    i missed the strings, brass etc, but only slightly. It was more the songs that involve them that i missed - Ara Batur from the new album, Olsen Olsen from Agaetis Byrjun, Gong from Takk etc

  16. new sigur ros album

    this album is simply said, a masterpiece

    the contrast of tracks is perfect and i do agree with ra btur being one of the best songs on there

    when i first heard the first track - Gobbledigook i was thinking this album was going to be completely different to the previous, but its not as different as i was expecting and is a great transition from Takk
