get lost Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Ive seen many acts over the years, but that must be one of the most emotional not "emo" gigs I have ever been to, he said he will be back in the summer, ace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Steven Milne was fantastic, Dave house was amazing, Del was pretty good (had heard some negative comments about his music and thought they were totally unjustified) and I only saw a bit of Jonah then left cos I was getting sick of acoustic music, and there was a massive crowd around him so I couldn't even see anything anyway. For anyone that enjoyed Mr House's performance, he seems to be quite up for heading back up for a weekend or two in the future so keep your eyes peeled.

Camie Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Jonah was fantastic, didn't get to see the whole set due to buses etc but still got a good money's worth.There was a great atmosphere surrounding this gig which I think helped a lot.

KarmaTsunami Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Dave House was brilliant - definitely my fave of the support acts last night. now that I've had some sleep...jonah was absolutely fantastic last night, there was such a special atmosphere in the room. going from 'drive away' into 'be quiet and drive' (which i asked for, and am so so so happy he played) was a highlight..as well as 'wear it so well' and his cover of 'fake plastic trees' at the end. incredibly nice guy as well! i can't wait to see him back in the 'deen again.

Alkaline Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Yeah, i have to admit that Jonah sits right up there with Idlewild acoustic at the Loft as one of the best gigs i've ever been to. His voice was amazing, he must take pretty good care of it. And he was a great guy, was happy to sign stuff and even pose for a photo with the missus and me. I really hope he comes back sometime. Ross did a good job promotion wise too, everything ran very smoothly.I wasn't keen on any of the supports, i think the main problem with acoustic balladeers these days is that they all sound very similar and they struggled with that last night. Steven Milne sounds like a cross between Paolo Nutini and Pete Doherty (and i'm not a massive Little Kicks fan either) but his songs and voice were more than passable.I wish Dave House had actually had a band behind him as all of his songs just felt liked they should've had a little more to them. They were all like songs that had been written for a band but were being performed acoustically rather than being stand-alone acoustic songs in their own right.Del's a great guy and he's pretty funny/quick witted as well but i'm not keen on the whole ironic wit in acoustic stuff to be honest. Topical and polititcal songs aren't really my thing.Still, i enjoyed myself immensely last night and it was well worth the 5 ticket price. Onward to Cinematic Orchestra tonight and 65daysofstatic on Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emergency72 Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Out of interest does anyone have a set list for Jonah?Not a huge fan but would be interested to know if he did a solo of the stuff on the split with rival schools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
del Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 I have to say I had an amazing time last night, it totally made up for the shambles in Edinburgh the night before. Thanks for listening and being an awesome audience, that's what I like! Quiet during the songs, then shouting shit at me while I'm tuning up in between. Perfect. If any of you didn't catch it, it's www.myspace.com/mistakesinanimationI have a recording of Jonah's set (which sounds fucking amazing), I might post a few highlights up here but I think it'll be at the discretion of the big man himself... He's staying at mine from Saturday onwards so I'm sure we'll sort something out.Once again, cheers for making it such a great night! I might be back in May, depends on whether I'm touring with Luke Leighfield and Sam Isaac at the time.Also, thanks to Phil for letting us crash at short notice, legend.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unbroken Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 I thought Jonah was very good, I have wanted to see him play since I got into Far when I was like 14 or something. I walked away pleased but also diappointed in some ways.I keep thinking that his 'nice guy' attitude is just bull shit. But hey who am I to say?He wasn't as good as Mark Eitzel. But was pretty good.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jf9tp2wd40 Posted April 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 I think everyone's comments are spot on, and the atmosphere was definatley something very special... the venue really complimented him. He did say he may be back in summer, and would love to pla aberdeen again... so fingers crossed Thanks a lot to everyone that came along! The turnout wasn't too shabby with about 70 people by the end!Rossx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarmaTsunami Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 I disagree, I think that a lot of people, artists in particular, who have the 'nice guy' attitude are full of shit...but Jonah's sincerity didn't make me cringe, and there was no inling in my mind at all that he was full of shit. Seemed 100% genuine to me. I thanked him for playing 'Be Quiet and Drive' afterwards and he gave me a hug. Not many musicians that would ask fans to 'keep in touch'.

del Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 I think anyone questioning Jonah's sincerity has to question themselves, would they be as sincere having spent 30 hours travelling to one of Scotland's "minor" cities to play what I considered to be one of the best sets I've seen him do?You've got to be pretty fucking cynical to say things like that. I think Jonah is one of a very rare breed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jf9tp2wd40 Posted April 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 From the moment i met jonah off his plane he was nothing but sinsearly friendly! Even after travelling 30 hours he was still just happy to be playing a show to people who really appreciated it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam 45 Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Just back from the Glasgow show. Never listened to him before but the gig was free so i wandered along. Really glad i did, really great voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarmaTsunami Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 not everyone. i just said i disagreed. i've been to see acts where they act all sincere and "genuine" and it does come across like bullshit sometimes, i just don't think that was the case with jonah.
