[Music] The Live Music thread

Anyone else going to Mogwai / Lankum at Cryst*l P*lace Bowl in August?

I'm not a hardcore fan of either, but The Twilight Sad and Caroline is quite an undercard!

It’s a peachy line up for sure. Kicking of procedures are The Yummy Fur. Who are just brilliant.

In fact I'd change the stage time order to
MOGWAI
THE YUMMY FUR
TWILIGHT SAD
CAROLINE
LANKUM

But, man, I'm increasingly intolerant of kids who go to gigs and talk and talk and frigging talk.

It’s not just kids, I’ve found people over the age of 30 just as bad. In fact men of certain age around 50 seem to be a pain in arse at gigs sometimes, but people’s gig etiquette in general is appalling these days.

100% with this. I find it tends to be worse with festivals. As far as I’m concerned don’t talk, don’t take videos and most importantly don’t ever, EVER sing along to the songs.

This sums that all up perfectly in just 40 seconds. Enjoy.

I don’t mind people singing along if the musics loud enough!

I will sing along and take some photos and the odd video. I dance too . . . Is that allowed? Or should I stand stock still deep in contemplation of the music I am witnessing? I do find that my enjoyment is slightly marred by the constant presence of such a dullard fun sponge standing near me killing the vibe and hoovering up any joy.

Here are some photos I took last night when I was incorrectly enjoying Supergrass at the Forum in Melbourne last night. I have a video my wife took but fear you may hear singing from myself and others who are not in the band.


At one point Gaz actively encouraged us to sing!! It was awful.
