Have you got a ticket yet tc? Wondering whether to get a shufty on or not, no idea how likely it is to sell out. Might do Sheffield as well actually. My guess is they'll not be too shite live.

They were brilliant last night. Couldn't have been better. They played mainly old stuff, lots of the Spanish spaghetti western sounding stuff from the first two albums, couple of songs off the new album and only one from Garden Ruin - Roka (Danza de la Muerte). Not that surprising I guess since the band seem to have denounced Garden Ruin to some degree (I'd have loved Deep Down or All Systems Red but ne'er mind). Joey comes across as a thoroughly decent sort of bloke, have to admit I was a little star struck up at the front with Joey Burns standing right in front of me.
The support act, Woodpigeon, were pretty good as well as it goes and a lovely bunch of people. Calexico brought them back on in the encore and they did a version of 'what goes on' by the velvet underground, with about 20 people on the stage (both huge groups), trumpets, fiddles, lap steel, pianos, accordians... Twas brilliant.
Only thing shit about the gig was the scouse prick stood behind us, who would not fucking shut up. He was pissed out of his mind and just ranting on about how he didn't like any of the songs they were playing, and how he wasted his ticket money, and it was a load of fucking shit. He was carrying on during a quiet song (Slowness, off the new album, fucking beautiful song) and I just snapped and told him to shut the fuck up. He then started on me, at the top of his voice, about how he paid for his ticket so he could do the fuck as he pleased, then started on the two guys I was with. I was so fucking angry I had to walk away and watch the rest of the show on my own further towards the middle and get out of his way. Prick. Why do these people exist? Ah well, blinding gig nonetheless. Probably won't make London but y'all will have a blast.

Nice one, Katy. Don't get me started on drunk talking people at gigs. I usually rip their throats out and break their legs....um...nah, not really - I tut and roll my eyes.

Fair play for saying something Katy, I never have the bottle. I mean there's talkers but fuckin eejits who blatantly have no respect and will talk right through, it boils my blood. You start to think "If it's so shit, why the fuck don't you walk out?". AAAARGH.
But sounds like a really good gig. Is their London gig soon? I still don't have a frickin ticket. Only just got paid on Friday so I'm going to have to get a wiggle on and buy a ticket!

It's on October 11th.
May have swung it actually. Train tickets are dead cheap and my mate just offered to buy me a ticket for my birthday. Yay. Count me in then. ;D
By the way, the new album is fucking brilliant.

If it's anything like the Sheffield gig, we'll be the youngest and most hardcore people there. It looked like they'd shipped in a coach load of OAPs. Never seen such an old crowd at a gig, strangely.

OK I might have to go to my sister's 18th birthday this weekend I did say I'd go, but my mum keeps telling me it'll be drunken teenagers talking shite. I think I'll go if my sister really wants me to but if she's happier just getting shitfaced with her mates then that's cool.

I can't now. *sulks* The friend I was going with's out of town now so no ticket, and it'll be way too expensive to book a train now. Sowwy. Thought it was a goer. You'll have a ball though. You want a *cough* copy of the new album at all, K? Or indeed K?

hey Katy. Leon doesn't want his ticket so you are welcome to come stay and go with me x

Post by katyr on Oct 6, 2008 11:37:24 GMT -1
Ah that's really sweet of you both, but it'd cost me over £100 to book a train this late on now. Make Leon go, he'll love it. x

It's ridiculous isn't it? I'm sorry, I sort of thought I'd pull it off, but then it all got too late. The cheapest tickets they had on the national express site for the return journey were only about £25, but for some reason it was a 4 and a half hour journey! Take petra? It'll be brill. Sorry. *feels bad*
