The Mae Shi (live-centric)
I just got back from seeing these guys at Thekla. It was worth spending the extra 10 quid for a taxi home just to get privilege of seeing the extra 7 minutes of the show that I would've missed had I run for the train. They were absolutely amazing. Really wild, noisy, funny and genuinely seemed like they were having fun being there. Oh for the days when bands actually used to jump into the audience mid set all the time, or play on the floor, hardcore style.
For a "yeah, I'll go along, why not" gig, absolutely mindblowing. Haven't had that much fun at a gig since Trail of Dead. Everyone should go and see them asap. I'm going buy their single soon. Everyone else should, not only because it's great, but because it deserves to get a place in the top 10.
p.s. I meated mysfirstmine. He's a lovely chap.
