PrincessHolly Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 I'm far too poor to afford tickets for all these things just now. But the Royal Albert Hall show will be amazing! I saw them a few years ago at The Astoria and it was utterly fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveCrisis Posted February 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I haven't seen the since the Lemon Tree gig back in '98 so twice in one year means a helluva lot for me.Just over a week to go and it's the release of Mr. Beast...Bring it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Frieda Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Aww I wid really like to go see Mogwai but I have no money, transport, accomodation etc.... man, its a bummer being a bum I tells ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Mog Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Got Mr Beast on Monday - excellent! Glasgow Mega-Snake rocks but could've done with being twice as long. Thats the only thing I'd criticise about the album, some of the tracks are too short, think the longest one is only 5 and a half minutes long. Its got touches of all their previous albums in it so would be a good choice for someone wanting to get into Mogwai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gogs Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 I saw the 'gwai at a charity gig in the Arches in November. It was awesome, my ears were still ringing 2 days later - no joke. They played a lot of new stuff fae the no-yet-released beast. Now that it's oot, I can say (in my opinion) that it's their best. There's a lot less fucking around and more solid tunes. Glasgow Mega-Snake is unreal, a total assault! up their with Christmas Steps and Like Herod. Travel is Dangerous is really special too but it's the more subtle tunes such as Acid Food and Folk Death 95 that give the album it's girth, Fuckin quality! get yer arses back up the 'deen some time!

SteveCrisis Posted April 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Anyone heard who the supports are for Usher Hall?I was under the impression that it was The Magnificents who were supporting.

mmd040 Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 I just have an inkling they may play the Truck Festival this year. I know the organisers have wanted them to play for some time. Fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessHolly Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 I met the organisers of Truck over breakfast at Reading last year and they were talking about wanting Mogwai. I'm not going to Truck though, I really wish I was!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmd040 Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Mogwai's agent just laughed at them the last time they tried to get them to play Truck. However this year might just be different what with BBC6 going to be there and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossP Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 I'm bringing mine just in case; it all depends on the sound system, where you are standing, and what songs they play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveCrisis Posted May 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 The Usher Hall gig was fantastic. Mogwai really kicked ass.For them to finish with Stereodee from the EP was unprecedented (for me) but what a wall of noise!I got a pleasant surprise when they performed Yes! I am a long way from home and Mogwai Fear Satan from Young Team.Are the days of Helicon 1 & 2 and I am Batman gone forever? I hope not!I'm really looking forward to the Alber Hall event - BRING IT ON! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The song they played was "We're No Here" from Mr. Beast. They also definitely played Helicon 1. And it's "I Am Not Batman." You should check out the unofficial Mogwai site Bright Light! Pretty much all of their set lists so you can see what they have been playing. They do play Helicon 2 sometimes and they've also started playing Stanley Kubrick again. But they'll never play I Am Not Batman again.Can you tell that I like Mogwai? But how shit were De Rosa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossP Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 auto rock yes! i am a long way from home friend of the night i know you are but what am i? acid food travel is dangerous kids will be skeletons mogwai fear satan ithica 27o9 hunted by a freak 2 rights make 1 wrong glasgow mega-snake encore: helicon 1 we're no here And De Rosa were indeed shit.

Thanks for the Bright Light tip.It's a weekend of familiarising myself with all of Mogwai's stuff for me this weekend. It'll piss the neighbours off no end!And, yes, De Rosa were dire spelt S-H-I-T-E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
