    from http://oya.exclaim.ca:

    i was a little surprised at just how early their time slot was scheduled, considering the much-lesser profiles of many bands that followed, but mogwai quickly changed the atmosphere by premiering a lot of new tracks from forthcoming album, the hawk is howling. as well they highlighted the recently celebrated anniversary of young team, playing classics like “yes! i am a long way from home” and the essential live cut “mogwai fear satan,” with its swirling guitar delays and sneak attack pause halfway through, which made andrea (my wife) jump even when i prepared her for it. of course, it rained during the glaswegians’ set, leading me to believe they brought the weather with them.
