FoREVER presents NO AGE, Whelan's, Upstairs, May 20 (1 Viewer)

Lot of people buying vinyl at this. Seems to be a good way for bands to make some cash these days

It's generally the way I do much of my record buying these days. Steal from the internet, if they're coming here wait for the gig and buy it off them there that way they get a higher cut of the sale and as I already have it in a portable format as MP3's I may as well go for the superior vinyl option.

whatever helps you sleep at night, thief

 

[Pilchard]

didn't think the t-shirts were great

Yeah, have to agree with you. But it was great to pick up a copy of Nouns for just a tenner. Glad to see No Age didnt decide to pump up the merch prices.

Fab gig too.

 

[coast to coast]

i really liked the t-shirts actually.

Also, Nouns only cost 12 quid in the shop also which is shockingly good value considering the price of some CDs and the deadliness and ornateness of the sleeve.

 

[Gardenhead]

they made a lot of nice noise for just the two of 'em eh? Wasn't digging the t shirts, or the animal collective ones the night before either. Lots of bands seem to be going with a retro 80s frankie goes to hollywood vibe and just printing their names in big fat letters. If I wasa skins obsessed 18 year old it would probably look alright on me, but as a 27 year old man I'd look like a right sadcase in the No Age t shirt. Grizzly bear though, there's a band with mega t shirts.

Didn't see the tees in question but yeah, i know what you mean. I think a lot of big bands are very half assed with their t-shirt designs. They sell anyway i guess.

3 of my dearest friends are in the left foreground of the crowd shot.

If it's good enough for Radiohead...

 

[bloopitybloop]

Anyway, surely it would imply Tír na nÓg-style agelessness. 27 would become irrelevant.

 

[Alan Remorse]

That's a HORRIBLE t-shirt!

 

[Gardenhead]

That's a HORRIBLE t-shirt!

Yup its a bit like summat you'd see on a dude at a gay pride march in Brighton.

 

[adam]

I like the 80s t-shirts that are at the gigs these days. All my teen ones were black and generic. At least there's a bit of variety now. Nowt wrong with a bit of colour, boss.

 

[Gabbo]

That's a HORRIBLE t-shirt!

I've got that. Looked great at the stall, but I never wear it out. It's a bit loud, I say. A bit like the band, you might say. Haw haw.

Edit: Horrible joke

 

[the dirty weed]

do you get that art book yoke with the vinyl of nouns or just the cd?
cheers

 

[HalfHunter]

how were soiled mattress and the springs?

 

[east hastings]

there was no support, can't remember but there was some reason for them cancelling

This is basically the same for me. Plus I like having the big ol' vinyl.

Really enjoyed the gig, dunno how such a noisy band can come across as "summer-y" at the best of times.

Back on October 17th in Whelan's playing with Times New Viking and Los Campesinos!.

 

[coast to coast]

Sweet. Both album are great fun.
