    I just saw this earlier. I'm most likely going to the Cardiff date. Such a tiny venue, should be good even though Im not familiar with their stuff...remember I saw them by default last time :lol:
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

  • "Jaws of Life" kicks ass.
    one foot in the door
    the other foot in the gutter
    sweet smell that they adore
    I think I'd rather smother

    oh it was fantastic! nerves normal closed the show and almost clocked in at 15mins!! they played listen(listen listen} jaws of life, maybe one more older tune, and pretty much all of welcome to night sky!! oh yeah and a killer cover of uncle neil's ''words''!

    i was lucky to show up early and score all 3 albums on vinyl!! the nice lady behind the counter said the guys found a few extras of the older LP's kickin around the house over x-mas, i was pretty pleased cuz these have been sold out forever on maplemusic.com!!

    i recorded the whole show, i dont know if it was the shit venue, but my usually trusty fujifilm digi let me down for a lot of the songs, bass drum/bass drowns out everything, but here's a few clips for yas!

    Recording
    After a very busy year of touring, Wintersleep is taking the month of September to work on a new album. Check in on the Twitter page throughout September for updates from the inside.

    Come October, it’s back on the road with Editors touring the UK. The tour will continue throughout November and December in mainland Europe with Editors and The Maccabees. All dates are posted on the tour page. Hello Poland!

    If they weren'y just supporting the Editors I'd definitely go again. Great band, but I hate the editors. Saw them last year and the ywere brilliant

    I went to see them in Academy 2 in Dublin in May. The venue is the basement of "The Academy"...the upstairs part is good but the downstairs part aint great, the stage is tucked away under a low ceiling, sound is rubbish.

    Despite all that, they're a very tight live band, and the tickets were really cheap!

    What did surprise me though, was how they sounded tamer live than i was hoping. They were still really good, i just wasnt getting into to the extent i wanted to. I will largely put that down to the shite venue.
