[7 - No tomorrow]

Missed them last year.
Looking forward to this.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

I'm liking these tracks by a Japanese band - Cacoy - on Efterklang's own Rumraket label.

its nearly not fair that some people have this much talent.

I thought this was great. The live shows really add a whole other dimension to their music that is hard to get from their recorded stuff.

Whats up with Efterklang though? The 2 most talented (in more ways than one in one of their cases) people on stage, yer man Peter and the hot piano player Anna, aren't listed as being on either of the 2 Efterklang CDs that I own. I wonder if the lineup has just changed over the years or whether this is just the band they bring on tour with them?

Anyway, this was great.

That Peter dude is amazing and when I found out he is only 21, I died inside a little bit. Talented beyond belief, that boy.

really enjoyed the show on Saturday.

That gig on Saturday was pretty mindblowing. Their albums aren't a patch on their live shows.

fuck, fuck, fuck, i had mixed up the dates and committed myself to another gig. Really pissed i've missed these twice in the last few months.

 

[Moods For Mallards]

Does every tune build into a massively epic crescendo?
Just asking, I'm suspicious of these kind of bands.

not at all. Thats why I reckon you get more out of seeing these bands in the flesh. I know feck-all about music really but a lot of the songs seemed to be contructed of fairly well-defined movements dominated by chants (my personal favourites) , percussion, or whatever.

the bit with the saw was just amazing altogether.

I know what you mean though. At one time I did have thoughts of Broken Social Scene, but these lads have way more class. The music seems to me to be complex, yet somehow simple. But, as I say I'm clueless about the complexities or otherwise of music - I'm just going by what I saw and what I heard.

Theres a good review of the show in the Irish Times today. Kind of hits the nail on the head.

playing here in The Southbank on Wednesday. really looking forward to it.

From Jim Carroll in the Ticket today;

Tortoise and Efterklang perform on July 19th

as part of the Analog festival.

I need to do more research, but sounds promising.

Interesting. It's going to be outside in the rain and require camping, innit?

The Analog festival is held in Grand Canal Dock, right? So no camping.

That's my birthday, incidentally. God's honest truth.

 

[Lili Marlene]

Right so I saw these last night and while I don't think I could ever EVER listen to a record by them they put on a good show.




Support act sounded like the soundtrack to an RTE documentary about Round Towers though

 

[Lili Marlene]

I also like EfterKlang's 'hot people at the front' policy.

 

[rettucs]

I forgot about this.

But I've seen them 3 times before and they were great every time.

was peter broderick with them? He'd be noticeable due to his being horribly over-talented.
