Super Furry Animals Rollcall

[kosmo vinyl]

it would have been nice just as a Evening with the Furries, as while the warm-up acts weren't horrid and unlistenable they didn't any value
 
 Holy Fuck were pretty good, but need to work on their compositional skills a little... as all the songs had the same format of intro followed by a couple crescendos... Interesting melodies and hooks just very predictable.  Plus, it's a pet peeve of mine but they need to figure out how to keep the flow going between songs. short song with lots of stops kinda of an energy killer..
 
 Fiery Furnances - just didn't see what all the fuss is about them, to me they were just overly clever with all the tempo and what not changes and in need of a little editing.
 
 SFA on the other fan had me engaged and hanging on every note from the get go.  They are one of those bands that while I'll don't listen to them on frequent basis, the songs have seeped into my psyche.  They also show restraint as they know how to keep the jammin' to just enough to just the right amount.  They seem like the types that could easily get lost in the weeds with the guitar wankery...  Rarely do I go into a show like this with any set lists of songs I'd like to hear, but they definitely played a number of my favs.  Do I wish they had cut loose more often like they did for "The Man Who Don't Give a Fuck"?  Of course but the softer stuff works just as well....

I thought Holy Fuck's live sets were completely improvised?
 
 
 I didn't go because I'm lame.

Great show...I wish SFA came around more often. The sound was fantastic.

Not only was the sound fantastic, it wasn't ear splitting loud...

I wish all shows were like that.

im with sweetcell on this show. in BK it was just Holy Fuck and SFA. Holy Fuck were brilliant and the crowd loved them. They played a solid set lasting probably close to an hour. They were quite excited and kept saying how they'd be back in about a month or so. Ill definitely be at their next show - although Im figuring out how to see Digitalism first and not miss Holy Fuck.
 
 SFA were great as always. Solid set, but it lacked the energy that was there previously for HF. Gruff sounded great, and they were excited to play the songs the audience voted on. The first one was "Northern Lights", forgot what the others were. They played for an hour and 40 or so. Im tempted to see them again at Bowery, but not sure yet if Ill commit.
 
 The setlist was as follows:
 The Gateway Song
 Runaway
 Golden Retriever
 Do or Die
 She's got Spies
 Neo consumers
 northern lights
 battersey
 carbon dating
 zoom
 the gift
 earth
 juxtapozed
 into the night
 show your hand
 receptacle
 slow life
 baby at my eightball
 calimero
 earth
 destroy you
 hello sunshine
 man dont give a fuck
 cosmic trigger
 
 rings around the world - was played at some point, not on the set list. they started playing songs that people were yelling out, so the list was a bit messed up - as gruff pointed out.

I had a good time as well. Spent an hour or so with Gruff earlier in the day and he was really sweet. A little out of it...but nice all the same.

recognize mah reviewin' skillz.  
 
 shit - how to choose between digitalism and HF (appearing with a place to bury strangers)?!?  i don't think you/we will be able to make both shows, i'm fearing both acts will be hitting the stage at about the same time.  dang dang dang.  going to have to think about this one.  thoughts?  help?!?
 
 i was chatting with someone who claimed that it was the seventh or eigth time he was seeing SFA, and he also stated that this was the most "subdued" he had ever seen them.  his tone was tthat of apology with a light hint of disappointment.

Setlist addendum: I don't remember them playing Northern Lights but I know they played Torra Fy Ngwallt Yn Hir and possibly The International Language of Screaming (these were my highlights along with She's Got Spies and everything off Hey Venus!).

Digitalism on a Saturday night at webster = early show. as far as i can tell - HF is headlining at North 6 which means late show over there. I wouldnt think HF will be on before 11pm (at the earliest). Im going to call Bowery at some point and find out if HF is def headlining.
 
 and Cornelius ended at 10:30 this past Saturday night, if that gives any sort of indication (also at webster)

good to know about the cornelius precedent.  additonal info:
 
 according to the website of the Music Hall of Williamsburg, show starts at 10:00 so HF on at 11:00 sounds right.
 
 according to  digitalism's myspace, they go on at 9:30.  i'd definitely want to confirm that, tho.   TM states that doors are at 7:00.  i haven't heard anything about an opener.
 
 hopefully taking the L from webster to williamsburg will be do-able

very do-able assuming trains are running on time. its like a 5 min walk (max) to Music Hall of W'burg from there. And the L is near Webster Hall as well.
