Support are 7:45

acording to my ticket so I guess around 9 for MF?

I'm very very excited.


...

Is there a show tonight then as well?

I'm there tomorrow, and could not be any more excited. Who is supporting by the way?


darren hanlon

Australian singer-songwriter.

Tonight is the first of 3 nights.


ahhhh

there was just the two when i ordered my tickets.


I'm not going

Why? Why? Why am I not going?

I'm probably going to regret this for like the next 3 years. Or possibly forever if he decides to sack in touring after this - always a distinct possibility.


still tickets available

both from the venue & scarletmist


and

there was really cheap tickets on Ebay the other day, my friend got 2 for a tenner


can't wait can't wait

can't wait. ok, I'll stop. The venue looks pretty unique, has anyone been there before?


Well

grumpiness over their flight issues aside I thought that was bloomin' wonderful.

Papa was a rodeo = swooooooon


more more more info please

i'm off tonight


What you wanna know?

They came on about 8:50 - did 45 mins then had an interval then played for another 45. Good mix of material, the Distortion stuff sounded much different as it just banjo, cello and piano. It wa SO good though. I want to go again.


about 4 I think

and about 3 from 'I' - they even did a couple from 'Get Lost'


If you have a seat

in the gallery, the view was a little restricted, just to forewarn. However, the performance was beautiful - didn't expect entirely acoustic set, but it worked well on newer material too. Top stuff.


where about in the gallery?

i need to get some tickets :(


we were

right of stage, block C, I think. It was just that Mr Merritt, celloist, guitarist were kinda beneath us. So, other side, or towards back of hall would be better!


I thought it was superb.

Got home and grabbed a ticket for Friday.
The sound in the venue is just so clear - and their voices, Stephin, Shirley and Claudia, all sounded absolutely perfect.
As well as MF stuff, they also did a 6ths track, a Future Bible Heroes song, and a couple off the Gothic Archies album about the Series of Unfortunate Events books.
Papa was a Rodeo the absolute highlight, for me.


That sounds incredible.

God, I wish I was going. Why aren't I going? They're my favourite band! Maybe I can still go?

No, I can't. BALLS.

I saw them 4 years ago at the RFH, Papa was a Rodeo was absolutely incredible then too.


Why can't you go?

I would recommend that you go.


No money.

Too far away.

They're the main ones.

I suppose I could go if I left NOW, and skipped the train fare by hiding in the toilets, and then slept in the train station after...

Best not.


As someone not all that familiar with the band

They were really great. If I had the cash, I'd go again tomorrow. So want to be Stephen Merritt when I grow up.
