medichi Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Fuck me, they were AWFUL! Seriously, whats the point? The entertainment of the loudest bass I've ever heard/felt lasted about ten minutes, followed by amusement at peeps trying to headbang to 2bpm music, but then it was sooooooo boooooring. Completely pointless. Looking forward to SOIA now - TINY venue..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phantomsmasher Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Sunn were amazing in Glasgow, complete physical and mental experiance, there's a lot of tonal experimentation going on during their sets along with the loud volume, robes and dry ice. The fact that they had one of the vocalist from 'Black One' up on stage made it all the better .But then, a lot of people seem to find them boring, which is fair enough, it's obviously not for everyone.Although the people trying to headbang along was funny as hell...

Guest Phantomsmasher Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Earth were very good as well, far less volume and more people talking through their set, but still very enjoyable. Their track on the Sunn/Earth split is great, a drone based country soundscape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Stax Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Funny how folk playing gigs in robes, make-up and standing amidst dry ice and then photographed with the aid of a flash just makes em look luaghable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartmaxwell Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 i thought boris were 50/50half of their set was slower, sludgey stuff which was really good, whereas the other half was fast and more song based, and it was shite. they actually sounded like a pishy local band you would see at kef when doign those bits, *shocking* singing, crap bass/guitar sound. slow, slow was huge, the amps were blatantly set up for slow, driving, crushing riffs, and when they went fast the dynamics dissapeared completelywww.dominofestival.bemogwai, 65days, wolf eyes, grails all on one bill, fucking hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
