...people were clapping along, quite a lot of the time.

What the flip is going on?

  • EITS House Party

    With Mr Blobby.

    rspce | 25 Jan '08, 15:47 | X
    • It honestly wasnt that dis-similar

      Was horrendous, this must stop now.

      JimmyHuntspill @rspce | 25 Jan '08, 15:50 | X
      • what next?

        people getting gunged at EITS gigs??

        Actually...

  • i was 99% certain that this would say

    someone died of boredom
    clapping though? hahahahahahahaha. that's everything EITS deserve.

  • sounds almost as bad

    as people singing along to Atlas

    Jamie_Summers | 25 Jan '08, 15:51 | X
    • That really would be awful

      Especially if they had a really joyous look on their faces. Must make sure I never see that or legs will get broken.

      JimmyHuntspill @Jamie_Summers | 25 Jan '08, 15:52 | X
    • Singing along to Atlas = awesome

      MelesMeles @Jamie_Summers | 25 Jan '08, 15:56 | X
      • In the car - yes

        In public - no

        JimmyHuntspill @MelesMeles | 25 Jan '08, 15:57 | X
  • From what I remember

    this happened during one song at least at their last astoria show. No clapping during Gravenhurst though :(

    uzak | 25 Jan '08, 15:52 | X
    • ^ definitely happened when

      the amps spontaniously combusted!

      Axis @uzak | 25 Jan '08, 19:15 | X
      • i was there!

        The guys next to me shouted, "Explosions in the amp!"

  • Was it a good gig tho?

    How was Eluvium? Dunno if I can be arsed hauling myself up to Dublin tomorrow to see the show.

    pariko | 25 Jan '08, 15:53 | X
    • Show was...

      ...in all honesty, a route one post-rock show. Mogwai still do it so much better.

      6 out of 10.

      The show started well, but got samey and wasnt punishing enough. Seem like nice chaps though and there was good merch so not all bad.

      (not going to get a job as a music journalist am I?)

      • Didnt see the support

        so cant comment on that one.

        JimmyHuntspill @JimmyHuntspill | 25 Jan '08, 15:55 | X
        • Eluvium support slot

          was nice enough, layers of melodies all ascending in the right places etc etc. Bit boring watching one man on a laptop playing solitaire while iTunes does all the hard work.

          EITS were good but people talking, clapping-and not even in time-was a bit annoying. They were still great though and i had a good time.

  • Have just remembered the clapping

    dear god

    moribund | 25 Jan '08, 16:00 | X
    • i looked for you

      but didnt see you :(

      HeartbrokenStar @moribund | 25 Jan '08, 16:03 | X
      • I was there

        near the sound desk, generally getting annoyed with the people around me.

        moribund @HeartbrokenStar | 25 Jan '08, 16:06 | X
        • sorry Matthew

          sorry

          JimmyHuntspill @moribund | 25 Jan '08, 16:11 | X
          • Bloody indie

            moribund @JimmyHuntspill | 25 Jan '08, 16:16 | X
    • a mate in bristol went to this

      I bet he won't like it seeing, like me, his best gig in Bristol was Mogwai in 1999 at the Anson Rooms with 13 minutes of pure beautiful feedback

      prole-art-threat @moribund | 25 Jan '08, 16:03 | X
      • why dont other postrock

        bands ever get that pure loud chest hurting bassiness that mogwai do in good venues?

        Jamie_Summers @prole-art-threat | 25 Jan '08, 16:08 | X
        • EITS definitely got that.

          lemonbrickcombo @Jamie_Summers | 26 Jan '08, 12:57 | X
      • That 1999

        Mogwai show was too good.

        JimmyHuntspill @prole-art-threat | 25 Jan '08, 16:40 | X
  • going to the astoria show

    on wednesday. I seem to remember last I saw them, people were just shouting out crap as they'd spent about 8 minutes building up for a cataclysmic crescendo. Must've been pretty offputting

    moless | 25 Jan '08, 16:11 | X
    • yeah im going on wednesday too

      and yes when they played with four tet in newcastle a couple of years back there were people being pricks

      Vian @moless | 25 Jan '08, 16:46 | X
      • i want to go on wednesday

        but being disorganised i haven't got a ticket, touts had them at cost last time, might try my luck?

        Axis @Vian | 25 Jan '08, 19:18 | X
  • when EITS toured

    last year some geeky little shit next to me wanted to illustrate to everyone in the audience how well he knew the tunes by SINGING the guitar melodies with a "la dee dee de dah" kind of style.

    Fortunately his friends challenged his behaviour and he replied with a comment which I will take to the grave of "yes, sorry, I know I'm a SUPER FAN" as if that justified his irritating antics.

    I'm telling you - the dweeb was a hairs bredth from getting a beating there and then.

    Cunt.

    flackcaptain | 25 Jan '08, 16:33 | X
  • what kind of sat did they play?

    did 'your hand in mine' feature?

    seven | 25 Jan '08, 16:50 | X
    • set*

      foo'

      seven @seven | 25 Jan '08, 16:50 | X
      • Yeah they played that

        i think. Think they played quite a lot off that record.

        JimmyHuntspill @seven | 25 Jan '08, 19:13 | X
        • Brighton wednesday,

          thankfully no such acts like clapping along, but plenty of dicks talking throughout Eluvium's set which was disappointing.
          EITS were pretty solid. Included Day Six from The Rescue which was nice.

          ampm @JimmyHuntspill | 26 Jan '08, 10:52 | X
  • Why is that some fuckers think they can talk the whole way through gigs like this?

    I told the mob behind me to can it after hearing for the fiftieth time that one of them would "do 'er like an animal". I hate 'indie' being popular.
