"Surely the hardest thing you've ever done is wash a sieve". . . Best line in a song ever!

Dno't know much about the band, but got a free ticket from my cuz. Found some of their stuff hilarious.

Yeah they were really good again, fair old crowd in. I only own their first few albums, I prefer the ramshackle style more than the slightly more technically proficient later stuff, although everything is worth a listen for the lyrics. 'Back in the DHSS' is essential, as is 'Back Again in the DHSS' (ACD if buying on CD). Lots of songs from these were played last night.

Haven't heard the latest album but when I saw the song titles that alone amused me - 'Bad Losers On Yahoo Chess' and 'Took Problem Chimp To Ideal Home Show' being the 2 standouts. It was also good to hear 'Running Order Squabble Fest' live, always makes me think of some of the arguments that go on on this forum.

The support band The Pulse were quite good to begin with but went on a bit long. The Doors cover was a bit misjudged as well I thought, their own material was strong enough if a bit samey.

Enjoyed it last night - always an entertaining band. Nice to know there were some Forres Mechanics fans in the audience.
