Gigs

The Libertines last Thursday, supported by Reverend and the Makers. Both acts were tremendous and both were spoiled by the shiteness of the crowd. I struggle with the attitude of most gig goers here. It's so far removed from what I'm used to in the UK.

Bought tickets for White Denim and Isaac Gracie today, as well as a ticket for Elvana (an Elvis-fronted Nirvana tribute band) which should be a laugh.

 

Got Churches on Saturday the the Hydro who I'm not fussed with at all, only going to see The Twilight Sad who are supporting. Will probably stay to see Churches because Never Ending Circles and Lies are great tunes, and hopefully their other stuff sounds better live than it does on record. Absolutely buzzing to see The Sad though.

I'm interested in seeing Twilight Sad in the Hydro. Seems like a good venue for them.

 

Agreed. Think the sound will either suit them perfectly or it will go tits up and turn into an echoey mess. For the sake of their upcoming Cure support gigs in arenas far bigger than the Hydro, I'm hopeful its the former.

Not the biggest attendance for CHVRCHES. Loads of the seating shut off. Standing absolutely mobbed though.

Think she said at one point that there 8k there. Bit of an awkward demand to accommodate venue- wise. Think the set up they hard worked pretty well.

Good gig, for a band with two albums and the odd soundtrack single, they've got a very solid set.

Decent crowd in to see The Twilight Sad as well.

Thought The Twilight Sad were absolutely superb last night. Didn't even play Birdhouse and their set was still perfect. As I've said previously, I'm not a massive Churches fan and didn't think they were great last night. Lauren's vocals during the first three or four songs were shocking, but Empty Threat was fantastic. I feel sorry for the other two guys who no one really gave a shit about since 90% of the crowd (as far as I could see) were lassies that were just there to scream at Lauren.

Would have been in to see them if the bloody train hadn't been cancelled :(

 

Thought Chvrches were excellent.

I'd never really heard much Twilight Sad until I got tickets for this gig but I really enjoyed their set, although I missed the start.  

 

Agree that the vocals were a bit ropey at the start, think that might've been sound issues.  Once she got through that they were fine and I thought it was a great gig.  Enjoyed Afterglow and Gun.

 

Every hipster in Glasgow was there I think.
