my father my king
thanks to ben pablo.
the show was booked at the last minute to replace the cancelled a.t.p. festival.
with ...trail of dead and shannon wright.
from ben pablo:
mogwai opened with 'stop coming to my house' which, i
thought, was a rather odd choice. this was followed
by the dual sonic blasts of 'kids will be skeletons' and
'mogwai fear satan'. the new songs sounded very good
live.
it's a shame that they didn't play 'killing all
the flies' at this gig but getting to hear some of the
older songs made it worth it, especially 'helicon 1' and
'ithica'. stuart dedicated 'ithica' to ..trail of dead who
were the headliners of the show (although it should
have been the other way around). then some nutter
yelled out "i lost my virginity to this song" as
stuart played the opening chords. later, i was
tempted to yell out "2 rights" and asking them to beat
box but decided not to. (apparently, some of the
band's equipment was lost by the british airline which
leads me to believe that the drum machine used for '2
rights..' was among them.)
another interesting moment
was barry playing a little bit of 'roadhouse blues' by
the doors just before they played 'helicon '1. the
closer of 'my father my king' ended with the usual wall
of feedback from both stuart, john, and barry. stuart
had hooked up some type of telephone hand receiver to
his amp and was singing (or speaking) into the
receiver although it wasn't very audible. john stayed
on stage the longest creating noise with his guitar
and his pedals. all in all, despite it being a cody-free
setlist, another great show from the 'gwai. hope
to see them back in l.a. soon.
