Sorry Mark, I forgot the camera today. I will be swinging by the shop at some point today though. If she's finished I'll take some pics tonight from home with her leaning against the couch in true RM fashion. Oh, and I have a fire extingusher as well. Now I just have to borrow a wok...

How was Explosions in the Sky? I've got some of their stuff and it's growing on me.

they were pretty good, esp the last song, "Memorial". i also liked how they played their set, and were done. no encore, they left it all on stage.

i still prefer mogwai about 100x more than EITS though.


it was nice shooting a band w/ no mic stands. :D

Hrm. I think I only have about 4 of their songs, and Memorial isn't one of them. Off to e-music to listen and download.

mogwai - long running (since '95?) stalwarts of the ill-named 'post-rock' scene, taking the baton from Slint. think grandiose, epic, sweeping rock gestures, mostly w/o vocals. guitar histrionics, both beautiful and ugly. more guitar effects pedals than you could possibly touch w/ yr feet.

EITS=Explosions in the Sky. mines a similar tunnel to mogwai, just not as good. us-based (TX). no vocals (mogwai has limited vocals).

Fu Manchu = butt rock, 70s style. think hard rock, like maybe thin lizzy or UFO or aerosmith.

sounds like i need to resurrect SotD :lighten:

edit - i guess you could say these are indie bands, as they are not on a major label (mogwai is on Matador, EITS is on Temporary Residence, and i'm not sure what label FM is on); that said, mogwai was featured on the recent Miami Vice soundtrack, and i heard a snippet of their song "Like Herod" on an episode of CSI last year.

Yes, and they look like they stepped right out of Dogtown and the Z-Boys with their long blond hair, OP shirts and van slip ons!

PS, I only wish they sounded as good as THIN LIZZY! They didn't have the guitarmonies that TL posessed.
