NOTES
BBC broadcast
Thirty minute set
First documented performance of “Why Are People Grudgeful?”
Magnificent – what a great way to start the new year. Of necessity a curtailed set to fit in with the BBCs Sounds from the City event but the group fit more in 30 minutes than other bands could hope to so do in twice the time.
The sound and the mix is exemplary but with a slight problem with the level of the drums occasionally – they appear to be a tad too low in the mix when Craig is at full pelt.
What is fascinating is the use of snippets of spoken word between the tracks where MES rants about Readers Digest supremo Tom Champagne, Housing Projects and any number of other issues.
Scanlon is magnificent throughout and whilst the band is teetering on the edge of chaos on a lot of occasions – something which makes a Fall gig something to behold – this is a fantastic performance.
