amazing. ian beale really fits in to the group.

could have used a dose more vandermark - tenor was kinda lost. paci, though, was a revelation.

Awesome awesojme ('words just coming out wrong') awesome.

As unsettling as a transfer window as The Ex and Brass Unbound made bids for our brains and we're supposed to go back to work for the rest of the week....WTF

Made it to both Belfast and Button Factory. Mats had said after the Belfast show that it had been the best on the tour. Trust me, the Dublin show was Belfast multiplied by 10.

Holy Shit! If there is a better gig than this during 2010 then it's going to be a fantastic year. Every band in the world should play with Brass Unbound, not just the Ex!

Agree absolutely. Brilliant gig.

I really enjoyed the gig as well, but I was vaguely disappointed. I guess I was hoping for more than "The Ex with a brass section". Something that combined the two groups to give something that didn't sound almost identical to the stuff that The Ex do on their own. Something a bit more (as a friend brilliantly put it after the gig) obtuse.

But that's just splitting hairs; I had a great time. Zun Zun Egui were pretty great as well -- Highlife gone Prog? Fela meets Gentle Giant? Neat stuff.

In fairness to them they only rehearsed together for two days before heading on tour so Brass Unbound were always gonna be complementing The Ex's sound rather than creating something new from scratch.

Yep, plus the gig was billed as The Ex + Brass Unbound, which is exactly what we got. Not a single quibble from me, thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks Timo!

Gig of the year possibly decade, State Of Shock was the best thing since Paul Rideouts winner in the 1995 FA cup final. FACT!

 

[Lungs]

Outstanding.
