Rab Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 SO...who was all at Sonic Youth on Wednesday night at the Barras in Glasgow? I certainly was and t'was ace. The new stuff was really cool live, but I was hoping for more of the 'tunes' from Dirty, Sister etc. Also met Sharron (Lester Burnam) - albeit very briefly.

I was suprised at how mellow some of the stuff they played was. Mind you, it was complimented by roughly 5 minutes of feedback and rambling after every song.

Guest Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 Ah yes, I was down there with Politik posse and some of the Masamune chaps.Wild night.Sonic Youth were incredible, but what was with that support act - the band with the two girls? It was just tiresome after about 5 minutes.Asides that it was amazing, there were a lot of dicks in the audience, which partially ruined it for me, but that happens at all big gigs. I love the new album, but like everyone else was hoping for some stuff off of 'Dirty' etc. Apparently the set at 'T in the park' was better, but I was still in awe. Was my first time seeing sonic youth and I'd definately go see them again.Barrowlands is hell on earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab Posted September 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 I thought the first band were awful. Ok, I listen to plenty of stuff that has noise in it, but I don't think I could seriously listen to a 'band' who got up on stage and just made white noise for half an hour. No structure, hardly music =/I quite liked the second band though, they were mad. I don't think I stopped smiling the whole way through their set. They really put on a show and the drummer was amazing. It doesn't transpire too well on their CD though, which is a bit pish.Still, great night.

Fucking terrible.Sonic Youth were cool. I wasn't keen on the Japanese band.I had more fun in the hostel though, with members of Politik, Project Ven-Hell and Masamune.
