Melt Banana live

A very good thing.

This review has been brought to you by someone who can't do reviews.



  • Where did you see them?

  • I saw them the other night

    the frontwoman kept on pretending to be a robot, which made me smile.
    Did they do a section of really really short songs?

    • They always do it

      That's one of the two things you can expect from a Melt Banana- the second one being a novelty cover.

      • Ah, it was the first time I've seen them

        they did both.

        • What cover did they do?

          • I think it was 'Monkey Man'

            • we got that too

              they called it a specials cover.

              its not actually by the specials is it?

              • toots and the maytals apparently

              • It's by Toots & The Maytals

                The Specials did cover it though.

                • yah i know they made did it

                  and the MB version was based on the specials version. just winds me up a bit when someone doesn't seem to know who the song their covering is actually by

  • they were great when i saw them in glasgow

    i also can't do reviews.

  • yes

    yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes!

    Bearsuit as support seem to have divided opinion though.

    Awesome gig!

  • they're ok

    very samey, hardly brutal. 6/10

    • The sound wasn't too amazing

      You couldn't really make out any of Agata's guitar parts, and they're far more suited to smaller venues. Their gig at the Garage a few years back was miles better.

      • Sound was pretty good in Nottingham

        could hear most of the mad stuff Agata was doing, maybe if anything the bass was a tiny bit quiet.

        • Brilliant live band.

          Agata is the greatest effects guitarist in the world. Fact.
