they hunch over their many many guitars and brood quietly for a while, and then at a preordained point they all stamp on their effects pedals and it goes WHAMMMMY, and its powerful and moving and gubbins.
the loudness is always pretty awe-inspiring.
Also, from my experience you should expect a nutter dancing pissedly nearby. This has happened to me at every Mogwai gig I've been to (which has been a few).
post rock.
quiet bits
loud bits
and, fittinging, the junkstaposition of the two.
Are they scary?
My brother told me they were. I think he's just jealous. He didnt get a ticket

Ooh
Im all a bit excited
I went on the Thursday to the ICA
and it was one of the best gigs i'd been to.
Go see them at Albert Hall in Sept. Standing tix are sold out, but i'm sure you'll be fine with second tier
So..
noisey quiet scary goodness?
Tissues..
earplugs..anything else?
Would make it more fun though.
And confuse the shit out of Mogwai
nachos
earplugs
indeed !
When i saw them in Paris they stopped playing and nearly fight with the guys from the venue because they thought it wasn't loud enough...
LOUD!
Only seen them once but it was the loudest gig i've ever been to.
My ears were still ringing two days after.
Good though!
yes
