Been seeing a few decent live bands lately, and have been impressed quite a lot (Boy Kill Boy at the Charlotte in Leics were awesome!) BUT.....................

Saw The Go! Team last night at Leics Uni and they kicked ass!!!!!!

I have NEVER in my life, since I played in a symphony orchestra, seen such an act of musical "togetherness" in my life.

They were just awesome! Most of you will have heard their single Ladyflash, and I thought the vocals on that were samples, but no, they sing it live!

One of the lads was singing, playing banjo, two guitars, keyboard, various other eletronics bits that I didn't even recognise, two seperate drum kits, harmonica, plus one of those "keyboard things that you blow into the end of" that I can't remeber the name of! Obviously not all at the same time although at one point he was alternating between vocals and harmonica whilst still wearing two guitars!!!!!

They were just amazing, and thoroughly recommended!!!

It's a "melodica" Nat, also known as a wind piano.

They're one of my favorite bands at the moment.
I wanted to go and see them for my birthday last year but the concert ing Glasgow started at about 1AM on a Monday morning, finishing at about 3AM - Unfortunately I'm not a student anymore.

The album is good too

I'm not a student either, unfortunately, I'm 28 now!

Next gig trips are We Are Scientists at Carling Academy in Brum, they should be awesome, the album is just fantastic, and poss going to see Graham Coxon at Leics uni in a couple of weeks.

Been listening to the album for a few months now - awesome - but missed their gig in Brighton

Just downloaded a few more of their tracks to keep me going until I can get out to buy the album, just superb!

Huddle Formation and Panther Dash are amazing!

the whole album is good.
What other bands have you seen recently?

Saw The Departure just before christmas, and this year have seen Boy Kill Boy twice, should be seeing Graham Coxon in two weeks time, and the one I am really looking forward to, We Are Scientists, at the carling academy in Birmingham on 10th April.
