thanks stuart there seems to be some dispute over whether 'summer' was played or not. if you can confirm, please get in touch.
mogwai played the 'heineken green spheres' stage, on stage 19:50
main stage line-up included blur, snow patrol, the script, lily allen.
http://www.state.ie/oxegen-friday-m83-the-flaws-mogwai-deadmau5/ we catch some of mogwai and it is as intense and ferocious as you might expect, except again the crowd is far from capacity. starting with ‘glasgow mega-snake’ and working toward a huge, rolling ‘mogwai fear satan’, their set is a trawl through one of the most noisy back catalogues in contemporary music. mogwai work best when they are as loud as possible, and although they sounded pretty thunderous from up near the front, a few vexed looks the band throw to the sound engineers suggest they might want to be louder still. http://entertainment.ie/Music/feature/Review:-Oxegen-2009/1/310.htm in the heineken green spheres tent, mogwai played their usual static, raucous set – not quite deafeningly loud, not quite. as ever, they perfectly time the switch from gentile, soothing moments and a guttural wall of noise. their tracks were almost unrecognisable, plastered as they were in electronic sound effects, with ever intriguing results. images of the post-rock scots were displayed in a large discoball screen above our heads. soon, security folks were needless telling us to get to our feet, clearly unaware that mogwai are one of the best chill-out bands around. |
