Buffalo ignored the reminders from the neon company and have suffered the consequences.\u00a0 This seems to have upset me more than the rest of tonight’s crowd, who shockingly haven’t missed the iconic wall mounted message.<\/p>\nBuffalo ignored the reminders from the neon company and have suffered the consequences.\u00a0 This seems to have upset me more than the rest of tonight’s crowd, who shockingly haven’t missed the iconic wall mounted message.<\/p>\n
Luckily The Muscle Club are here to lift my gloom.\u00a0 They started out as a jangly, spikey, Johnny Foreigner-esque indie band back in the day but seem to be\u00a0 growing into a different beast.\u00a0 The band sound 22% fuzzier this evening and 31% more beefy.\u00a0 This is despite losing a guitarist in London to “shoplifting” and drafting Decimals man Al in at the last minute.\u00a0 Apparently he learned 11 songs in 30 minutes.\u00a0 Pretty impressive.\u00a0 Luckily he was only called upon to play about 5, one of which was a rather good crash through a Fugazi cover which he appeared to know quite well.<\/p>\n
Wonderswans.\u00a0 Yeah, Wonderswans.\u00a0 I was already writing a shit review based on the apalling name and when they started with a messy instrumental thrash about.\u00a0 I was quietly confident of being right.\u00a0 After the Pulled Apart By Horses start though, they turned into Dinosaur Jr and we enjoyable, I’d go as far as to say good.\u00a0 If there was a venn diagram where the first circle was ‘bands I’d recommended people go and see’ and the second circle was ‘bands I wouldn’t go out of my way to see again’, they’d be in the middle bit.\u00a0 Wouldn’t rush through town, throwing aside old ladies to get to their headline show but would be pleasently surprised to see them on a support bill.\u00a0 The band may even share this view as their single had about 7 minutes of guitar hero outro, this is a good thing for me but probably not for radio playlist gurus.<\/p>\n
In between bands I find out Man Utd have lost to Burnley and hear a story about a resturant in London that is pitch black and where all the waiters are blind.\u00a0 There is a ‘surprise’ option on the menu.\u00a0 I just hope that there are lights in the kitchen.<\/p>\n
Copy Haho are literally a Scottish indie band and while I’m going percentage crazy I’d say that I’m a fan of 78% of Scottish indie bands.\u00a0 They are described on the flyer as “brilliant Pavement-esque rock ‘n’ roll”.\u00a0 I can see how this has come to pass but in reality the band aren’t as lo-fi or shuffling as Pavement, they share more in common with The Thermals.\u00a0 Similar off key vocallist but more punky.\u00a0 I like them and rue the fact that I have to leave 4 songs in to go and talk too quickly (after drinking about a gallon of Coke) on Bethan Elfyn’s radio show.\u00a0 I’ll look forward to seeing them again at the Los Campesinos! show at Swn.\u00a0 If I’m not running from Chapter or something.\u00a0 Or it doesn’t clash with something at Meze Festival (which is 100% ace).<\/p>\n
