Too late, I got tickets anyway.
You really think they'll do it again? Hard to say... |

HOLY FUCK.
Best fucking show ever. Cigarette In Yr Bed killed me.. I could have cried for the first two songs... shit, man... Feed Me With Yr Kiss and You Made Me Realise (last two) were SO insane.. the "Holocaust" went for 22 minutes, so said one of the security guards, and it was absolute bliss.

it was pretty great. toronto was a nightmare. all the trains shut down and my uncle and aunt had to drive me everywhere and i had to catch a train back to kingston at 6:55 in the morning, and then we drove all the way to mass and just got back...
but the show was great. i thought the 22 min. noise part was a bit long. it was amazing, and it was really cool how i felt the wind from the speakers and i sweat from shaking from the beats. and i took out my earplugs for a moment and never heard anything that loud. but it didnt have to be that long imo. but it was great. belinda looked delicious with short hair and the white dress... i got a shirt it was a great show. pluys the 1srt opening band was great. gemma hayes wasnt, but she is hot. i just didnt have an amazing time because i was worried about the mobility of the town and was worried that ill miss my train in the morning

saw them at ATP NY...very disappointing. sheer volume trying to cover up
a lack of personality. the records are still superlative, though.

i agree about thte sheer volume part. im not sure if it re4ally helps that its that loud. all that it does is forces everyone to wear earplugs and thus miss out on a lot of the subtle sounds that they are so brilliant at making
it was still great though

gemma hayes wasnt, but she is hot
I nearly threw something at her...I want visceral volumis death not some lillth campfire snuga lug... MBV was flawless, no mistakes no perfect tunings, sound lights. How does th band get all of those 'midi-synthy' counter melodies that I hear... Anyone know?

The opening band, Flowers of Hell I think... were fucking boring... the first two songs seemed like.. maybe promising, but after that, it was so formulaic and uninteresting, and they COULD NOTNOTNOT fucking hold a climax. In fact, in their whole set, the only time they came close to a climax was the last song, and the fucking crashing cymbals just dropped after 4 bars. Uncool.
Gemma Hayes was alright music, but fucking boring and annoying when I wanted MBV.. uninvited... luckily, she only played 4 songs. And I already talked about how amazing MBV were.. the "Holocaust" was fucking bliss... etcetera!

yeah that was my problem with the flowers of hell, is their drummer. they would build up these really beautiful melodies and the drummer would stop the climax after only a few bars. douche chill.
and their music is based on climaxes... it had much potential, but they didnt go all the way and all their songs were the same
