saw Red Sparowes last night (along w/ Daughters, but that's another story...). gotta say i liked the record better than the live show. got ponderous at times, and it really sounded to me like some of the guitars were out of tune. that may have been due to the earplugs jammed as far in as they could go...the boys brought stacks of marshall amps w/ 'em and weren't afraid of the volume knob.
anyway, if you are not familiar w/ these guys, it's an amalgam of members of bands like Isis, Neurosis (anyone remember that H8R dude?), VSS and someone else...big sweeping guitar monolithic pieces w/ no vocals. mogwai and mono are much better at this game i feel, and esp so in a live setting, based on my experiences. but, it wasn't a total letdown and the show had its moments.
it was also nice to get a photo pass; no entry fee and unobstructed access to the side of the stage.
