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.

The Staves

It was an incredible coincidence discovering the Staves. They were a support act for First Aid Kit and we were very pleasantly surprised. Their performance was all to do with the music , the sound. They hardly moved on stage and there was no complicated lighting. The set was an electric purple glow that filled the whole stage with a wall of solid colour. Their music melted my heart. Their voices created a ray of ephemeral sound that filled the whole huge concert hall, completely surrounding and engulfing you. They sounded like pinging bells whilst still being able to create layers of soft beautiful harmony. The Staves Cambridge Corn Exchange 03.11.18

Dubioza Kolektiv

Extremely high energy performance. Every member was constantly grinning and bouncing around for 2 hours of intense mayhem, they must have been exhausted. They were absolutely bonkers. T hey entered the stage with a robot warning tone, and then all came out wearing a bright yellow football uniform looking like bees and holding a sign that said HEY. It was the weirdest mix of music that I have ever experienced but it was impossible to stand still. It was Shrillex mixed with pop punk, mixed with rap and Bosnian traditional music. After discussing we agreed that 2 1/2 songs was the perfect amount before a break was needed as you went from loving to hating with no in between.

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...
