Camie Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Sons and Daughters were pretty cool.The first band shit all over them though.What were they calledSo good.Especially the song with the accordion in it. Quite a talented dtrummer.Cant beleive they palyed my 4 favourite tracks from 100 Broken WindowsNo Out Of Routine or I am(What I Am Not)But You Held The World In Your Arms was awesome.

Laxton's Superb Posted May 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 they were called Foxface....hence the mask the drummer had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groovy Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Fantastic gig, I had forgotten how much I really loved idlewild. Foxface were excellent, didn't think too much of Sons & Daughters though. I took photos and I think there may be some video clips as well depending on how well they come out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzywoo Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 it was amazing... i've never really been a major idlewild fan, don't have any of their cds or anything...but now i'm thinking why the fuck not? I was totally blown away by them tonight! The lighting was rather pretty too! I thought sons and daughters were pretty ace but maybe played for a bit too long and foxface....obscure...but in a good way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laxton's Superb Posted May 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 the latest Idlewild album is probably their best, but for reckless guitar based abandon, get Captain...do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JME Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Idlewild were intense last night they played all their best songs apart from maybe In Remote Part, which is prob my fav. I only heard Fox face's last song they seemed ok, it was a bit simple though, but better than any of sons and daughters stuff- i think their guitarist needs to think up some different sounding songs, they all sounded the same to me. Awesome Concert! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 I thought all bands were great. Seen Foxface twice now and they've grown on me. Would definitely go see them again. Sons & Daughters new songs sounded great. Can't wait for the album. And Idlewild were on fantastic form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippy Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Idlewild were really on top form last night! The encore was pure brilliant pal and I'm really glad they've started playing 'the broze medal' cos that's a great song! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stuartmaxwell Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 i remember they played the bronze medal mixed with forgot to follow onceit was ace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 they've been playing a cover of the Ramone's I wanna be sedated on some dates, was really hoping to hear that last night. Still great gig anyway. First time I've seen Idlewild for 5 years. Don't want to leave it so long again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lizard King Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 All bands were great .I really enjoyed sons and daughters and cant wait for the album. It was ace when they played "to long awake" of the new album. I think thats what its called. They played the instumental part for ages and then came back into the song.

HummerOfIntenseEvil Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 hmm that was good to begin with...but then it started to dragSlight understatement! That was the one bad bit of the set. What the fuck was Rod up to? That was the biggest pile of self-indulgent pish since My Bloody Valentine split up. It got a bit better towards the end, but the middle 74 minutes (it felt like it) were just boring, and if it had carried on like that, I was THIS ---> || close to heckling. And even though I was up on the balcony, I'd have been heard cos the place was fucking silent. THe guy beside me had even fallen asleep!That aside, it was a fucking brilliant gig. They played just about every stand out song from their albums - if they'd played I Am (What I Am Not) and Actually It's Darkness as well, I think it would have been the perfect set list. The first and last three songs epsecially were inspired choices. Film For The Future was fucking immense.Set list, nicked from the Idlewild forum:1. Too Long Awake 2. Little Discourage 3. A Modern Way Of Letting Go 4. Welcome Home 5. Love Steals Us From Loneliness 6. These Wooden Ideas 7. I Understand It 8. You Held The World In Your Arms 9. El Capitan 10. American English 11. The Space Between All Things 12. Live In A Hiding Place 13. Blame It On Obvious Ways 14. The Bronze Medal 15. When I Argue I See Shapes 16. Roseability 17. Goodnight ------------------- 18.

NARC Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Slight understatement! That was the one bad bit of the set. What the fuck was Rod up to? That was the biggest pile of self-indulgent pish since My Bloody Valentine split up. It got a bit better towards the end' date=' but the middle 74 minutes (it felt like it) were just boring, and if it had carried on like that, I was THIS ---> || close to heckling. And even though I was up on the balcony, I'd have been heard cos the place was fucking silent. THe guy beside me had even fallen asleep![/quote']Maybe, but I thought it subdued the crowd well, who from where I was standing only cared about when the loud guitars kicked in. The people around me had absolutely no idea about actually listening to the songs, particularly the new ones, and were more interested in wearing checked shirts and pointing at the sky. But such is life.Sons and Daughters were fucking ace and Ailidh is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Film For the Future was indeed immense. The new single too is excellent.And of course, thanks to Dave in Exodus who played us four classic Idlewild tracks, two back-to-back too. Shame to those who missed slippery pint/dance action!

One of the folk I was there with (mate of a mate type thing) pissed off to the bar once he'd heard the three songs he knew. Which suited me fine, cos he was talking during the songs. I can't be arsed with that. I go to see and hear a band, not hear someone else's random pish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
