Never seen these lot live so I ain't going to miss them this time! Wahoo.

s'been too long, like 3 years since the royal society. they've been in hibernation for too long. hopefully they wont do a hell is for heroes or biffy clyro whereby there music becomes more mainstream. however there stll very good album, specilaly puzzle.
scala!

They were...
...fucking mint at Glasto.

Glastonbury
They were frucking awesome at glastonbury x
Cockpit.
Yesssssssssssssssssss!
Going to the scala
I just tried in vain to work out how many times I've seen them. Think it's almost 20 now. Never gets boring. Out of the new stuff I like 'You Think You're A Doctor' best
Agreed...
Was worried it might be the end of the road after seeing them play to 10 (or so) worried passers by at an afternoon CMJ show in New York last year... Still splendis, mind...
hopefully a top supporting bill will be forthcoming, akin to their last 'big' show at Le Astoria...
Birmingham
I'm there!!!! I actually thought they'd split up...
no
way... just without financial support so they don't get in your face... just have a look fro them and they are there.
Cardiff gig
I've only recently discovered these, and don't usually go for stuff quite as heavy as them, but I absolutely loved this gig! They were fantastic, Guy's comic book facial expressions were highly entertaining! My hands hurt from clapping SO hard!
Can't wait to see them again now!
