It was very good by hulver (2.00 / 0) #3 Tue Apr 15, 2008 at 05:41:33 AM EST

Eventually, when they actually came on stage.

There was this bizarre support act on first, with violins, and accordian and trumpet. The first couple of things they played were pretty good, but everything else they played sounded exactly the same.

The main show was really good though. I was right at the front as well, which was excellent. Mixture of new stuff from the new album, and old stuff.

I just wish they'd released the new album before the tour.

Sounds familiar, don't suppose you can remember what they were called?

Album release dates. by Evil Cloaked User (2.00 / 0) #5 Tue Apr 15, 2008 at 05:53:41 AM EST

Yeah, I've got caught by that before. The new Clap Your Hands Say Yeah album was due out days after the gig, but if you pre-ordered, they gave you a download link. But that was America only. I got someone in the US office to buy it for me and send me the link. And the mp3 quality was shockingly bad. So having already bought the thing, I felt no remorse when I torrented a much higher quality copy.

Then I went to see Beth Orton 2 years ago and her new album was coming out the following week. The girl that I was bringing to the gig was in HMV a few days before the gig and went up to the counter with an arm-load of CDs she was buying - she's a DJ. When she got to the counter, she spotted the Beth Orton album on display behind the clerk. She knew it wasn't released yet but chanced her arm and just nonchalantly said "Oh, and can I get that one behind you as well? Thanks." Yup, it really is all about social engineering.

didn't like the new album much by MillMan (2.00 / 0) #14 Tue Apr 15, 2008 at 01:07:29 PM EST

but I'll give it a few more listens. Hope they come to the US as well - they're a band I should see.

When I'm imprisoned as an enemy combatant, will you blog about it?
