Moose Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 This was a great gig. Un fortunately I missed Das MacManus – who I heard were toight – and only caught the last few songs by The Shithawks. They seemed very entertaining, from what I saw. Platypus were ghastly and I hope to never see them again, however I was surprised to be in the minority with this opinion. Min Diesel are the kings of Scotland; not a weak song in their set. Proper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maud 'dib Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I missed the shithawks. Glowing testimonials from the sidca review panel. Platypus? I dinnae think they were that bad.

I wasn't into Platypus either, though I was stood right at the side so couldn't really hear what was going on. The vocals were especially inaudible from where I was stood.Min Diesel are definitely the best band around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girl anachronism Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Not sure how we sounded out front, maybe the mics were a bit quiet, but I had a lot of fun once the nerves had subsided. Nice to have the debut gig out of the way!I thought The Shithawks were fantastic. Not the sort of stuff I'd generally listen to, but reckon that'll probably change now! Very entertaining indeed and incredibly tight to boot. The lyrics were great fun and full of wonderful cynicism. I properly dug them, hopefully they'll play up here again. Struggled to get into Platypus too unfortunately. I think they had interesting ideas, but the execution was a wee bit off. Low vocals in the mix didn't help, but again, this might be due to where I was standing. It was like they were almost trying to be a bit tooooo scuzzy and lo-fi and it didn't quite translate on Saturday. Shame because from having seen previous projects, they can certainly play their instruments well. Maybe they were just having an off night.Min Diesel were most excellent. I don't have much more to say, they were just properly brilliant. They should play all the gigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Zero Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I couldn't make it to this - is it possible to buy this Min Diesel EP somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
