Bella Union 10th Birthday at RFH

olegrich [Edit] [Delete] 65 replies 17:33, 6 July '07

1) So who is going to these? I am going to both.

2) Who are you looking forward to seeing the most? Its Howling Bells on tuesday and the dears on wednesday for me.

3) Howling Bells are supposed to have VERY special guests. Who do you reckon it'll be? I haven't got a clue.

  • well Simon Raymonde

    of cocteau twins/bella union is gonna be playing something/with someone at some point, so maybe he's playing some stuff with them?

        • yeh

          i'm actually really tempted to go..my girlfriend is away in brighton on business... thing is it costs me £40 to travel to london for midweek gigs so its hard to justify :-(

          Jamie_Summers @olegrich | 6 Jul '07, 17:48 | X
          • The tickets are so reasonable as well

            great seats for £15.

            Pull a sicky and stay in London on tuesday night. Sarky said you could crash at hers.

            • i bet she did.

              hmm i'll have a think about the logistics of it, there's still lots of seats...

    because I'm seeing Justin Timberlake instead. Ha.

    Only wanted to see beach house anyway and they're playing their own gig now.

        • yep thats correct

          there was something mentioned on Editors' message board about it

          plus they go way back! howling bells opened for them before they even had a single out.

          HolmenatorNo2 @JOANJOAN | 9 Jul '07, 17:14 | X
        • I am at both

          And DJing.

            • Special guests...??

              There are four bands each night, all announced.

              • howling bells

                are said to be playing with very special guests.

                      what a letdown. Oh well, it will be a lowpoint of an otherwise great evening.

                      Don't we have really good seats?

                                    • Last Night

                                      was excellent! We caught the last 4 songs of Beach House's set, and I was impressed with what I heard. My latest Novel were absoloutely fantastic, I will definitely be checking them out again. Fionn Regan kept the quality high with a good set, although I think he had to be coaxed out to do one more song as he left earlier than he was supposed to. Whilst Howling Bells were probably the least enjoyable, they were still very solid. Juanita has an amazing voice. Tome from editors came out and did 'Where the wild roses grow', whicgh was suprisingly good, and the night finished with members of all 4 bands playing a Johnny Cash song, with Raymond from the cocteau twins on piano.

                                      My only gripe is that the place was half empty! there were only about 6 people in the balcony.

                                      • stage times

                                        Beach house were on a bit after 7:30, played for about half an hour, MLN maybe 8:15ish, same kind of set length, then an interval before Fionn Regan and Howling Bells - whole thing ended about 10:45.

                                        I'd say "half-full" is an overstatement - I nabbed an empty box half-way through and from there it looked like the place was only about one-third full - hardly anyone in the rear stalls or balcony. Real shame, because it was a good gig.

                                        • we were on the front row of the balcony

                                          and it was empty. It wasn't promoted that well in my opinion, and EITS pulling out really hurt it.

                                        • It was a good night indeed

                                          even though I was slightly dissapointed with Beach House as they became a bit dull and samey after a while (I saw the whole set). My Latest Novel were brilliant, they played a lot of new songs that sounded a bit darker than the stuff from their debut album. Fionn Regan is obviously a very talented guitarist and songwriter in a Dylan kind of way, but he does like to stretch his songs a bit too far sometimes. I really enjoyed Howling Bells, very powerful and noisy with a gothic twang here and there. The chsoen covers fitted in well with the rest of the set, even though the guy from My Latest Novel was struggling with the lyrics.

                                          Paul Morley's intermezzos were a bit pointless and didn't really contribute anything other than unwelcome delays, and a comic genius he is not.

                                            I thoroughly enjoyed the music inbetween acts last night. Avenging angels!

                                            • so many good tunes!

                                              i really enjoyed howling bells having heard nothing by them previously, though kinda glad it was a short set. The covers were great though.

                                              My Latest Novel get better and better each time I see them, and the new stuff sounded as good if not better, in a huge venue as it did in the spitz a few months ago.

                                              • a few points as to above:

                                                I think more people saw stephanie dosen last night than the 4 bands on tuesday.

                                                You appear to have got the dears and midlake mixed up. Midlake were pretty damn bland last night.

                                                Did you get one of the screen prints? I did, they are amazing.

                                                  its the first time I have seen them being done at gigs. I may frame mine, its gorgeous.

                                                  • yeah

                                                    they were ready when midlake finished. £10 was fairly reasonable as well.

                                                        £10 is what I paid for my print.
