Change of name to Mount Eerie seemed to inspire further experimentation culminating in his two wonderful realeases in 2012 both diverse but both acknowleged as a work of supreme quality ranging from traditions of the land & his surrounding environment right through to black metal reference points. Those of us honoured to be present when Phil played a solo set in Dr Drakes about 8years ago know how special this will be. This show with have a four piece touring band comprising of associates from his early Microphones days onward.http://www.pwelverumandsun.com/http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/16657-clear-moon/http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/16988-ocean-roar/http://drownedinsound.com/releases/17379/reviews/4145833(go see the message boards below the drownedinsound review...WOW just wow)The Kitchen CynicsOnly one person in NE Scotland could possibly open this show, an artist who keeps creating music to inspire those lucky enough to hear it.

chilli Posted May 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 how close to selling out!? Nah pre-sales have finished, its now upto walk-up on the night so it won't be a problem getting in. shows have been going great on the tour & turnouts have been superb. Phil wanted to play Aberdeen after his first show at Drakes which was indeed very special... I would hope we can attract well beyond 100 on the night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 It was a great gig. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was a really enjoyable night. Loud, impressive but not overbearing and with some real understated and tender moments as well. Not all of it worked and I can't say I enjoyed the solo set at the start very much (nice tunes but really too sparse an arrangement with just the bass I think) but on the whole I really enjoyed Mount Eerie. Was one of the best sets I've seen from Kitchen Cynics as well. Think Alan got the balance between structure and improv just right last night.
