Old Gold Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 I'll add last week's Chris T-T gig to somewhere near the top of my list!However, if the Twilight Sad are indeed supporting Idlewild, there may have be a late entry... and then there's Charlottefield also... and the Kilau thingy.

davewarden Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 I don't know if their usual live show is so heavily based on samplers/effects but that's pretty much all that they were using, which made for a very atmospheric, ambient yet powerful sound that kept making me think of Suicide's early stuff, which is a comparison that hadn't really sprung to mind before. Better yet, I think they're back in early 2008 so I'll hopefully get to see a more 'conventional' set from the whole group then When I saw them a couple of years back thats pretty much all they had.

*Amy* Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 The standout gig of the year for me was Sonic Boom Six, The King Blues, Failsafe and Mouthwash at Kef in March. The first 3 are 3 of my favourite UK bands and are all amazing live, so to have them play on the same night was just ace. There was a massive crowd, everyone was dancing and it was just one of those gigs with a great atmosphere.Other notable gigs were:Gallows at The TunnelsThe JB Conspiracy at Drouthy's in DundeeChief at The Tunnels and in North Berwick w/ Howards AliasThe Living End at Glasgow CathouseZebrahead at Glasgow CathouseThe King Blues are on at The Tunnels on Weds 5th Dec and Sonic Boom Six are playing Drummonds on Fri 7th Dec.

Guest idol_wild Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I actually think the Meursault/Kitchen Cynics/No Pasaran show at The Tunnels at the end of August was pretty bloody good too. Each act was on sublime form.But wait...nobody turned up for that gig! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 That was, indeed, a fine night....hopefully we'll see Meursault back soon.You can see No Pasaran in Alford (Craigievar Hall) this Saturday, along with the Holy Folks and me (with Duncan on cello for a few).

Guest idol_wild Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 That was, indeed, a fine night....hopefully we'll see Meursault back soon.It just so happens that I have him, with his full band, back up early next year. More details will be announced in due course. Back on topic:Akron/Family, Howlin' Rain, Phosphorescent. Lemon Tree. Last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waltz Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Christ, I can't remember what I've been to.Action Beat and Destructo Swarmbots were great, so happy to have opened for them. Idlewild at Music Hall was pretty special. Any time I've seen Copy Haho they were great, Vom and PVH were fantastic (never got to see Andr Duracell, because public transport is rubbish).Aereogramme at the QMU must be the best this year though. So, so amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rass Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 I have a funny feeling i've only been to Download in the last year...That's shockingly poor.Korn w/Joey Jordison were fucking awesome. And Maiden, perhaps alot to do with announcing the Somewhere Back in time tour, pyramids n all.Tho if we make it in the last 12 months i could probably involve Tool, which was probably one of the best shows i've seen in my life.

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted December 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Manic Street Preachers - Music Hall last night, if only for getting to see them in such a cosy venueThis indeed was a very good gig. I'm not a big fan of the Manics at all, I only like the Holy Bible, but it was an excellent show. A much better gig than the debacle of Kings of Leon on Saturday.Nicky Wire telling Jamie Oliver to fuck off was also very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
