"I thought Swanton Bombs were pretty good, loved the rackety structures and sometimes intricate interplay between the two members, will definitely be checking them out 7.5/10

Girls, to be honest I wasn't really feeling it, I'm still a touch indifferent to the album, I enjoy it but, there is just something missing for me, I thought maybe seeing them live for the first time might trigger something but it didn't.
I found the first half of the set dragging a bit, the secong half definitely picked up and I did find myself enjoying it more towards the end, but much like the album, there just seemed to be something lacking, an energy or presence, I can't put my finger on it.
That sounds really harsh, It was an alright gig, but it was just lacking something and I enjoyed the support band more.

6.5/10"

Are they really going on at 7pm? I don't believe it... that seems way too early.

    In the upper right, it shows set times... It says 7pm. I called the venue and they said there might be an opening act, but doors don't open til 8:30 anyway..... AAAH. If I miss them I'll be so mad! But I also don't want to show up 2-3 hours early.

      haha, crap! I've e-mailed the venue too, agreed, I don't really fancy standing around for 3 hours, 7 o'clock would have been a major rush too!

are Girls the only band playing? Also does anyone know if there is any chance to still get a ticket at the box office?
