Status: My ears still bleeding from last nite excursion with Mogwai...
The Verdict: "Better than Explosion in the Sky show last year" & " Even better than Mogwai Show in Singapore"
The Show: WoW! What a show! Really... What a show!... The excellent lighting show, kick-ass sounds, the sonic assault, the top notch venue, the so called indie crowds, THE band, the fucked-up companions, the close encounter with Mogwai, around the clock road trip, the pure noize, the clinical performance, the sonic mayhem... Mogwai indeed this generation band of the moment. No doubt about it. They played mostly from the older LP such as the electronica laced Happy Song for Happy People LP! (or maybe not) & the rousing finale consists from classic debut of Young Team tracks. Pure unadulterated sonic mayhem & chaos! I truly enjoyed this ear bleeding session. Thank you Soundscape Records for bringing this great band to our shores. Keep up the good works Mr. Mak :)
Indeed i'm happy people for happy songs :)
The Bad: Too bad Mogwai didn't played The Sun Smells Too Loud, Batcat? (They did played this :), Glasgow Mega-Snake, We're No Here (Please come again & perform this songs :) & the non existence of Mogwai merchandises... Thanks Malaysian Customs Department for that :(
