I saw them 5 years ago in Vicar Street supporting Mum. I hated them. I bloody love them now.

That's seeing them before they were big. You've even better bragging rights.

 

[worthit]

Brag Brag Brag.

Yeah, the way I look at it I saw them before they were good, rather than before they were big.

Same here... they were dreadful... not any more tho ....

Was at that Mum/AC gig too. Didn't like them at all, which stopped me from buying any album up to Merriweather. Although, to be fair, Mum were far worse. Still my worst ever gig I think. Waiting to see if tomorrow night is better...

 

[shitepipe]

was that the tour with just avey tare and panda bear? saw them in rotterdam for that, they sucked.

has anyone checked out playlists for recent gigs at all.
are they still playing mostly new material live or are they actually touring MPP?

think its mostly MPP with some older stuff (sung tongs/here comes the indian). only one or two newbies.

It was a very bad gig. I saw Mum before that in the Academy or whatever it was called then and they were deadly. The were also deadly in tripod a couple of years ago. Don't know what happened them in Vicar Street.

1. No member of Animal Collective has a Cold/Flu/Ebola

2. Their tour van hasn't been sabotaged by El Guincho

it's weird that everyones ragging on the mum gig. i wasn't there but it was that gig that got me to check out sung tongs, mate came back from it saying they were the best thing he'd seen in ages.

This is a band I don't 'get' but I'm trying. I'll be trying tonight. Maybe the live show will win me over?

My friend loved that gig too. They've been his favourite band ever since and for years I just couldn't get past that gig. Then I heard some of their albums and he was right. Stupid idiot didn't buy a ticket before it sold out though.

The live show owes more to the likes of Orbital or Underworld than anything else.

 

[cephalopod]

By the way, the Whelans show was far and away the best gig I was at last year.

Okay, that's not helping a bit.
