NWW were superb.

That cover at the end was the icing on an already exceedingly delicious musical cake.

 

[aoboa]

Yeah NWW were great.
O'Malley's set was a bit meh...

 

[cesspooldublin]

yeah. though in fairness at least he kept it relatively short.

At times Worse With Nouns had me in stitches & complete awe in equal measure. Fantastic show. Matthew Waldron has some voice on him too.

yep this was pretty deadly. thought o'malley on stage with them felt a bit incongruous though... he looked and sounded out of place.

ebola and ed devane and were deadly after too, had to miss mad ep due to encroaching drunkenness however...

Matt Waldron's singing was really great...very much the highlight of the show. I really enjoyed Rock'n'Roll Station too, for nostalgic reasons. I was surprised he did a straightforward tune, it was the perfect one. I also liked some of the percussion stuff. And the gig warmed up really nicely.
BUT. I thought the gig was really weak in general. I couldn't see any of the stuff I really liked about Nurse in there. I remember meeting Peter Christopherson before the Coil gig in City Hall, he was telling me that they had visited the venue a while before the gig and they noted the long reverb time, and tailored their set to take advantage of that fact. Last night I thought there was a pretty standard electronic improv band on stage doing their stuff with little (above-mentioned stuff excepted) to differentiate them from their peers and nothing to indicate that they cared that much about making the gig anything special. I was dreadfully disappointed. I think the music world has caught up with what Stapleton helped to pioneer, and now a live gig just highlights that. In the words of at least five people outside afterwards "it was fine". Also I think that what he does best is not really observable live...I can imagine him jamming like that in his studio, and culling some really nice bits to add to an album, but hearing the whole process like that was unnecessary. And not very good.

Indeed they were. Mad EP was good but he shouldn't have been on last - it was a bit of a comedown after Ebola!

NWW were deadly particularly the encore which was totally amazing.

 

[La La]

LoLa?

LaLa?

i was too for a while

and dont forget Lo Lo

 

[rotten tropics]

really enjoyed nww.
o'malley could have been far better...don't see much point in just doing a totally stripped down version of sunn... was hoping for something a bit different from him.

 

[Anarcho Munk]

What cover did NWW do?

I really should have went instead of being a dryballs and going to school...

i saw him before on his own, and he was absolutely deadly then. less drone, more riff. he wasn't up to much last night alright...

if this were a piss take, this would be the perfect piss take answer. therein lies its brilliance.

 

[Anarcho Munk]

i had to go check another forum first before realising he wasn't taking the piss!

dunno,would of preferred if it was even less guitar based to be honest.as i said,i've seen sunn so why would i want to see half of sunn doing the same thing but not as well.

 

[shitepipe]

yea- and how long did o malley play for? i came in at about 8.10 to catch him and he was finished by 8.20.

 

[Space]

He played for about 20 minutes, I really enjoyed NWW but I wouldn't realy know them well at all. The dancing after was grat too. Really impressed with Ebola.

I thought this was class for the most part. Especially that section after "Black Teeth" "Black Teeth" itself was cool too. You really needed to be up front to hear it properly . The sound quality dropped big time towards the back. Someone's posted some pictures on flickr
