Guest idol_wild Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 That's the fourth time I've seen Twilight Sad, and I agree - they failed to beat their Tunnels performance. They suit a smaller venue. They even said as much themselves.That said, I still think they were brilliant last night. The two new songs sound great.Her Name Is Calla were excellent. It's a shame so many people decided to talk their way through the set. That last song with all four members beating the fuck out of drums/toms was wicked.Good gig, good gig.

Jeanette Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 It's a shame so many people decided to talk their way through the set. That is the most annoying thing ever at a gig!!Kinda gutted I missed this now! Although I have seen them 3 times now. They'll be back again no doubt! =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Really enjoyed the Twilight Sad, and the very end of Kartta's set (which I just barely caught). I agree with bluesxman though: Her Name Is Calla were really dull for a reason I can't quite put my finger on. Maybe I just wasn't in the right mood.

framheim Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 i thought her name is calla were fucking ace. great sound and really good songs. twilight sad were brilliant as well and i liked the new songs as well. overall it was a pretty grand gig indeed! i am suffering quite a bit today though.

qzdiablo Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 looking back on it, i think what made me 8o:love: so much the first couple of times i saw the twilight sad was the fact that they were making such an overwhelming noise with just one guitar/bass/drumkit. the very presence of the extra guy is probably what lessened the 8o factor for me. i still liked it though.her name is calla were ok, i think i preferred them when i saw them at tunnels though. as far as my ears could make out, a lot seperate sounds of the instruments in the loud bits seemed to merge together at shulu, whereas at tunnels i remember being to pick them out individually. also, am i remembering incorrectly or were there not 5 people in the band at that gig last september?i think i enjoyed kartta more than any other time i've seen them on saturday. i'm not sure why but i'm sure it is not attributable to any absent party or reason that can be expressed in smilies .

I think the last time we came, the label owner helped us out on some extra percussion. There's two 'floating' members also on trumpet/vocals and cello. But obviously they didn't come either this time. nay worries! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
