Guest idol_wild Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Played with The French Quarter in Edinburgh on Sunday and they were enjoyable. Lovely additional percussion stuff going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim BENCH Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Katerwaul for that slot? We'd be up for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim BENCH Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Milne has kindly given us the opening slot. I'm fuckin stoked! Can't wait to see French Quarter. We were supposed to support them a earlier this year but they had to pull out for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarvis Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 After momentarily disappearing to record I can gladly confirm, ladies and gentlemen, Katerwaul are fuckin' back. Thoroughly enjoyed their set last night, watching Nick's manly locks flying all over the shop being a total highlight.French Quarter were pretty good, started strong but maybe could have done to mix up their sound a little? Thought they got a little 'samey', but that's just my opinion. Still enjoyed it, might pick up their record at some point.AMoF were [prepares for a hail of abuse!] ...a bit boring. Their sound was crisp (even through industrial strength earplugs!) and I loved them initially, but I tired of them by the end. It felt a little like each song was a continuation of the last. Can't fault the performance, just the music. They were good sports about the power cut though.Thumbs down to the Tunnels for letting me get boozy on a schoolnight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offramp Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Can't wait to see French Quarter. We were supposed to support them a earlier this year but they had to pull out for some reason.They supported De Rosa at The Tunnels in June. They were pretty good, like.

qzdiablo Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 watching amusement parks on fire last night was like trying to jerk off to a 6-hour porno - it was initially quite enjoyable and exciting but the repetitive nature of what was witnessed and performed became increasingly apparant and the action itself became too physically tiring to continue with: eventually i had to pull my pants up and go and get a drink to recuperate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qzdiablo Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 it was still fun though, i'd probably repeat the experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mora-Treat-Guru Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 This lot were alright. The MBV type stuff was fine, the rest was dull and fairly lifeless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest idol_wild Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 I thought both Katerwaul and The French Quarter played fine sets.Amusement Parks on Fire started brilliantly. I love their racket. But only for about 45 minutes. They played for too long, so I got bored.Plus, I fucking hate encores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
