Bad Boat - Rockin' as fuck.

And So I Watched You From Afar - Good and heavy. Played for far too long though.
Crippled Black Phoenix - Outstanding.

 

[São Paulo Punk]

i can appreciate some music which i don't like, but bats don't do much to make me appreciate them .
I think they're shit because i heard them and thought they were shit

Bats are the motherfucking bomb!!! You don't even KNOW!!!

 

[jimmybreeze]

maybe so but that doesn't stop them from been a unbelievably shit band

Jesus.Thats pretty harsh.

Bats are fuckin ace.
Any time Iv seen them theyve rocked the face off me.
Like them or not they're damn fucking good at what they do,"unbelievably shit" is competely unwarranted

I don't think they're too bad about it, 10:30 I think. Maybe 10 which is a bit worse.

 

[east hastings]

i think heard the bouncer saying it was 10.30 last thursday night.

I was a bit harsh on Bats, but i don't think they care or should care about my opinion

saturday - Archie Bronson Outfit. A little disappointing, but parts were excellent.

sunday - Kevin Drew. This gig was everything that is bad about this country. It was going grand, he was making the odd fuck-up, but nothing too calamitous. Then he got all grumpy as fuck and obviously thought he was losing the crowd and tried too damn hard to impress. He did this by playing a U2 cover. Fuck that. And the worse the gig got, the more the crowd seemed to love it. It left a very bad taste in the mouth. The American Analog set bit was really good though.

Wow. I couldn't disagree more. I thought they were superb. And the U2 cover was just a bit of fun, which is what BSS are all about. Best live band in the world imo.

Yeah I enjoyed it more as it went on, partly because I think Kevin and Brendan were really endearingly earnest and likable and obviously trying to have fun they made me lighten up and partly because they were dipping into the BSS back catalog more and more as it went on and I think that material is stronger than Spirit If. And as cheesy as it was the U2 cover was a bit of fun.

I agree with most of that. I really like Kevin Drew and I always thought Brendan Canning was the heartbeat of BSS. But it seemed to me that dipping into the back catalog was moreso because of desperation than anything else. He kept referring to being on an 'upward slope', as if he felt he needed to apologise. The new songs came across really well I thought. The problems with the sound seemed to change his whole attitude. He snapped at the sound man on stage, and then at the bass player (Sam somebody). After that he said that he felt like just playing old songs now. I'm not sure he'd have done that otherwise.

I was at 2 BSS gigs last year and they really do play up the whole Irish thing. I guess it was as he said, he put himself under too much pressure to impress last night. But, he was impressing just fine. And then I felt it went a little pear-shaped.

I take the point about the U2 thing being nothing more than an attempt at fun. I guess my sense of fun is a little different to everyone elses'. Like that time Belle and Sebastian played 'whiskey in the jar'. I dunno, I guess its just me so.

It seemed like they were just getting going by the time they finished. I wish I'd gone to see them when they played in Pine Lodge.

 

[Unicron]

Went to see Cathy Davey last night. Brilliantly constructed pop songs, not a superfluous note out of place. Conor from the Immediate is in her band at the minute, never realised it before but he's a fantastic guitarist.

 

[xsteox]

skit the bed- very bassy/messy sound. hard to hear the riffs with all the feedback.
divisions ruin-awesome.|..|.|..|
tunguska-even better.|..|.|..|.|..|

missed captin spauling and born/dead due to talking to people outside, then leaving for work.

 

[rettucs]

super furry animals.

think I'm turning into a grumpy aul bollox altogether cos I hated it. Thats 3 gigs in a row I've been less than impressed with. Again, its probably me. Loads of others seemed to love it.

 

[ernesto]

Prefuse 73. meh

 

[shidheat]

not a band but i saw drum and bass legend digital dj tonight and he was totally fucking incredible. the first time i've danced my arse off in at least four years. sad but true. he is the dubmaster. he plays dubwise selection without objection.
