Gig of the Year - 2008? (2 Viewers)

Prurient at No Fun Sweden

What's the deal with this dude? Am I missing something? Nothing I've seen or heard has particularly impressed me. Just seems like a load of microphone feedback and shouting. Yet everyone seems to hold him in high regard. I'll admit though I haven't heard much, so any recommendations of stuff to check out? Only have the Purient/Kites split and his set on that No Fun dvd. Thanks

It's all about seeing him live. Just something else altogether. His records can be pretty hit & miss but check out Still, Wanting, Cocaine Death and Black Post Society as all are excellent records.

Can't think of loads of gigs. My memory is either shot, or they weren't very memorable.

CASS MCCOMBS

Not even that annoying fat bloke with the camera could ruin my enjoyment of this.

 

[Lili Marlene]

I just remembered I was blown away by Pit er Pat at ATP for some reason, I really really like their guitar playing.

also tuneyards


but yeah, take that, elephant

 

[CinnamonBoy]

Koko Von Napoo in Crawdaddy in front of about 8 people. It was a few days after Neil Young in the Point and was all the more thrilling for being such a contrast to that experience.

 

[Corrientes]

Built to Spill in whelans is up there for me.

 

[clonan attack]

Neil Young (more Primavera than the O2)
Bruce Springsteen (Sunday)
Grizzly Bear (Vicar Street)
Cass McCombs (Whelans)
Phoenix (Primavera)
Halfset (Crawdaddy)

Can't think of gigs before the summer now... crystal antlers and parts & labor were great gigs for atmosphere.

I'm hoping Modest Mouse and ATP 10 will add a few more names to this list.
