Longcut ////// 10/05/06 /////// Joiners
I only just got back from work, tas been one of those long days. But
the bands made up for it. Not my cup of tea, but good at what they do.
The Longcut are Manchester disco-post-rock, and they put on a great
show, really good beats and clever intertwining guitar and bass lines.
Their bass player also reminds me a lot of my good friend Sam who also
is a spikey haired bass player.....
I think tonight's show was stolen by the
support band, 'ShitDisco' from Glasgow... They are a bunch of lazy
arrogant rock stars offstage, they stole the headliners rider and a
guitar tuning pedal.... but onstage they were really cool and very
Disco. They had two bass players and had asked me to wack up the drums
as loud as they could go... all this Disco tainted Bass caused the
front-of-house amps to blow and subsequently the fuse to trip so for
their last song they had no FOH, which for the non-techies amongst you
means that it all went considerably quieter and the vocals didn't come
through the main speakers.... But actually they didn't notice, and
congratulated me on a great job although I'd committed the blunder of
blunders.... Its amazing how little perception of sound the average
person has....
I'm amouting some philosphical thought at the moment on sound that will soon be posted here!! I'm sure you're all rivetted!
