Mudhoney

We were right at the barrier at the front. We had an amazing view. We were close enough to the mosh pit to feel part of the experience yet safe at the front.
There were some fantastic grunge moves/positions. It was amazing watching a founding and originating and authentic grunge band from Seattle in real life. It is incredible to think about the different experiences of gigs that the band must have had and how tame this gig must be compared to their gigs at the beginning, 27 years ago. It would have been a different and incredible experience to watch them in their prime.
They have their own sound but all of the songs are different. They were fast and slow but all Mudhoney, a unique sound. All perfectly distorted imperfect dirty grunge.
The gig was so loud! I knew every tune and I wasn't holding back yelling them. There were some really special, unique moments. Mark kept coming right to the front near us and he gave someone a twinkly high 5.
This was a truly multi-sensory experience. The music and excitement remained in my body for hours/days afterwards. I think this was the most powerful gig I have experienced yet.

Caulder

Caulder The Lending Rooms 31.05.19 The songs were extremely musically created. T he songs progressed through lots of layer, you were watching the texture build.  They were thoughtfully composed with build ups and drops. The tunes had a balance of being exposed as well as loud and expressive.  A memorable part was where the first half of the last song was played on acoustic guitar and recorded on a loop which was then played back in the second half, layering it with electric guitar and different drums. They were technically constructed and the phrases had dynamic range. There were some talented funky improvisations. The songs have a balance of being organised while DIY and experimental. Their set was varied, each song was quite different. They had such control over their sound. They were extremely in-sync, carrying out well coordinated stops in their songs. They could completely fill the room and created such a full sound out from 2 musicians.

Edinburgh Fringe

Edinburgh Fringe Shows Wednesday 31st July The grey cat and the flounder  (studio 1, George square) Interesting concept. Elements theoretically could have worked and been very clever and different. A not children’s children show. Very American. Ear phones more immersive Completely bizarre Wierd wierd story Didn’t enjoy Puppetry funny Elements too long 4/10 Bible John  (pleasance) About True Crime and women murdered. The unpicking of a case. Very fast paced. Lots of different stage drama techniques. 4 girls. Very busy performance. Used repetition and dance. Aunty  (the box George square) Kiwi crazy aunt. Major audience interaction. Very intimate. Lots of teasing. Lots of wine. Very funny. I believe in Merkels (roxy downstairs) Nicola Sturgeon, Theresa May and Angela Merkel cabaret burlesque lip sync. Really good fun. Some rowdy Scottish lasses who were vocal about their SnP beliefs. Police Cops: Badass be thy name (studio 1, George square) watched 2ce Manchester ra...
