Jono Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Did anyone see Explosions in the Sky last night in Manchester? Amazing gig. Some really heart-felt bass and an amazing audience reaction. Quote
mhuk Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Are they touring in the UK? Have to see if they're playing near Brum. Quote
Machines Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 I used to see gunfire in the street in Manchester, does that count ? Quote
thedontcarebear Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 I didn't, but they are an awesome band. Quote
Treeb Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 I was going to go to see EITS in Glasgow last Sunday but had to stay at home and play nursemaid because my wife and son both had the flu Quote
TheRev Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 I saw them in Bristol last week and they were amazing. I even bought a t shirt and a poster... haven't done that for a while! Really looking forward to their set at All Tomorrow's Parties. Quote
flip Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) I was at the Bristol gig too, absolutely superb. Definitely one of my favourite bands of recent times... Edited January 31, 2008 by flip Quote

nomis Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 i was there and nearly wet my pants! touring bass player = win! Quote
grahamd Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Saw them in London years ago and looking fwd to their Green Man set this summer. Great band Quote
thumbo Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 I had a bit of a disappointing EITS experience at the 10 Years of ATP event a couple of years ago. They played on the biggest stage and I really don't think it suited them at all. I imagine they'd be much better suited to smaller more intimate venues. Quote
Jerry_B Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 You guys may also like Aurore Rien. Similar stuff... Quote
untune Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 I was at the 2001 Manchester gig, but had to leave early cos my ex had to catch a bus I also managed to see God is an Astronaut last year at Islington Mill in Salford, think it was February. I managed to haggle a tshirt off the merch guy, then for the first time ever had the balls to go upto the band and have a chat and asked for a photo, which they were all too happy to oblige for. When we'd left the gig and were going for the bus my mate chose THAT moment to share the fact that the photo didn't actually take properly..... Quote
jonno1981 Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Went to the gig at the roundhouse last night and it was a little bit average. The sound was great, the venue was great but they didnt quite nail it for me. Maybe the venue was a little bit too big for them. Also the light show was terrible, just dull and uninspiring stuff which was unconnected to the songs. I would go and see them again but only in a smaller venue. Quote
nomis Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 i thought they played a flawless set at the manchester sound was great, was a big venue but it felt intimate saw mogwai recently at the sage in newcastle, was rubbish, they were tight and everything just looked like they werent enjoying it, going to see this will destroy you soon, wooooo Quote
