As was said above, worth getting there to see Despot. He put on a good show and was very funny and self-deprecating. He also came on wearing his Christmas jumper, and led everyone through his on tour aerobics routine.
El-P was brilliant. Sounded loud and dirty, and his band and hype man were ace. He seemed genuinely pleased to be here when he bid farewell at the end.
But he was HUGE! Proper stacked, George Elokobi style (http://bit.ly/NAChT9). Didn't really dawn on me until he was stood next to Despot, who looked tiny in comparison.
Glasgow on Tuesday!
I know this doesn't really answer your question, I just wanted to share the excitement! Can't wait for this gig!
High five
really fucking wish I could go to this
cnt m8
its going to be great. looking forward to despot too, hes a wee monster
cnt w8
i should say. fucked that right up
He was AMAZING at Tut's last time round.
Full of neds, surprisingly.
I'm going yeah
Lol
Got a + 1 if anyone wants it?
I would be going but student finance have of course fucked me right over so am penniless for another week or two sadly.
maybe I'll find some money on the floor at Festival No.6, fingers crossed
If this is legit then yes please...
Sorry this had been taken by the time you replied
No problem
how much are tickets?
any left? I'm going to try and swap my work shift that evening.
haven't listened to the new one much, but I love 'Fantastic Damage'.
Still available
about £15 once you've paid booking and postage. It's in Academy 3, which is one of my favourite Manchester venues.
i thought he'd be in a bigger room!
saw James Bourne there last year OH GOD
I'm glad - hate Academy 2.

I'm going! Reports from the rest of the tour are pretty damn good so far
Is there a cloakroom at the venue?
Got a long journey home so need to bring provisions
That was off the chart, fuck!
If any bands I see in future don't include at least two keytar solos in their set I'm walking.
I had to leave at half 10 because of the stupid last train to Bolton being at 2249
Did I miss much?
He was done 10 minutes later, but it was all bangers
You lucky twats-I hope he plays somewhere nearer to me than manchester soon.
That was really something else
aye? seeing him in glasgow tonight
can't wait
Buzzin' for this show tonight!
Despot is well worth checking out too
I know it varies
but what were the stage times roughly last night?
Despot 8:30; El-P 9:30; Curfew 11:00

Did anyone catch the name of his hype man?
He was a big lad wasn't he?
Didn't catch it, sadly
But he was HUGE! Proper stacked, George Elokobi style (http://bit.ly/NAChT9). Didn't really dawn on me until he was stood next to Despot, who looked tiny in comparison.
i concur with all the comments here
it was fucking brilliant. few gigs leave me speechless, however that one truly did :D
i met despot and he lied to my face and told me his album is coming out next year ;) and i got a signed el-p album.
great night!
True Story was my highlight
the hype man spitting out the chorus sample sounded like a machine gun (or there was a machine gun sample too). Loads better than the album version
DEEP SPACE 9MM
that is all
