XFM scala show

Nine · 03-24-2007, 11:15 PM

since nobody at the Hammersmith gig seemed to be up for it, anyone going to this one fancy a gathering afterwards? Just go for a drink somewhere or something. I'd love to meet some of my eskimo family in the flesh

I will be the chick at the front,dribbling from the mouth.

Sorry, now not going to Scala gig - no childcare. Very, very gutted. Have asked them to give my tickets to someone else. Twas one of the hardest things i've ever done!

Grant · 03-26-2007, 12:12 PM

XFM just called me to say i've won tickets

I'm coming down from Glasgow so will need to see, but a meetup sounds grand.

Grant · 03-26-2007, 12:18 PM

Oh, and what time is the gig at? Anyone know? I'm sure she told me on the phone but I was too delerious to remember.

Nine · 03-27-2007, 12:51 AM

I think doors are at 7

Would be ace to see some of you there!

Grant · 03-28-2007, 04:03 PM

me and my friend iain are currently sat in o'neills on carnaby street enjoying a pre-gig beer! Hope to see some of you tonight at the scala

Grant - you were standing beside me in the queue I think, Scottish? I was with the tall girl in black reading the Ron Jeremy Autobiography.

Setlist:

9 Crimes (guitar)
Older Chests
The Professor/La fille danse with 3rd verse, Vyv on cello for that verse
Cannonball
Rat Within the Grain
Cursing >>> Damo remembered that the show was meant for radio and wondered if they could bleep the f*cks because he really felt like swearing and sang "So why'd you fill my ****ing sorrow, with the words you ****ing borrowed"
Delicate
Lights >>> Vyv complained to him about the lights being too bright, but it was cos of the "lovely" cameramen. Someone shouted it was because he was a "star" and Damo then treated us to his English accent!
Coconut Skins >>> Percussion jam >>> Volcano (long intro and outro) >>> Slow >>> Rootless Tree (last two on the Rhodes)
Where's Lisa? - Yet again! and again he said "i dunno" but the band said she was at home.
Woman Like A Man
What the Night is for

***

Vyv - Random Man on the Motorway
Talking
The Animals Were Gone
Lisa explanation (of sorts!)
The Blower's Daughter

This was a great gig! especially since it was free! Damo played for around 90 mins altogether and he was very chatty. He said it was cos he was hungover and tired, so he was telling stories for The Professor, Cannonball. He was going to explain What the Night is for, but stopped, just sayng that no-one would know it. It was beautiful.

Volcano was a bit odd, it didn't really go anywhere and i think it will sound odd on the radio.

When he came out for the encore he offered an explanation for the Lisa question, saying that they were all musicians, but also people. sometimes you want to be quiet and sometimes you want to be loud? (can't remember properly). It was an explanation of sorts, and better than nothing.

One of the funniest moments was him tuning up before Animals, saying he was really paranoid about it, and then asking "did anyone pay?"

and fair play to him for playing a full gig on his day off.

Both him and Vyv seemed annoyed with the photographers and one of them was right in Vyv's face for ages during Older Chests and you could see she was exasperated. when she looked around I gave her a smile and got one back: Vyv is lovely, and she looked well hot. And some guy asked her to marry him when she came on for encore, to which she replied "yes. I don't know you, but this next song is about you!"

lol

CoraVenus Lunny was also playing with them, but didn't seem to have much to do. Tomo just amazes me how he can get some much different sound out of one drum. No Fionn Regan as advertised, for whatever reason.

So can we please stop asking the "Where's Lisa?" questions?

Nine · 03-28-2007, 11:20 PM

tonight was ace

So vastly different to Hammersmith last night, obviously - but so pleasent and initmate. It was great to see Damien in such a chatty happy mood. Tomo was right infront of me, and I didn't realise until now that I absolutely fancy the hell out of him! So I was chuffed to recieve a return thumbs up to the one I gave him at the end of the show.

Anyhoo, in short it was really really nice and I'm so glad I went.
