Went to see the Super Furry Animals at Brixton Academy.

Missed this band over the last, what, 15 years since they last played?

Banger after banger. One of those bass rumbles felt like the building was shaking, earthquake alerts.

The classic SFA song has some sweet jangly guitar tune going on then two verses in you feel something weird and electronic in the beat and then the wall of noise and beeps and booms hits you in the face. Love it.

Power-ranger helmet, furry suits, flashing lights and strange cartoon alien creatures on the backdrop.

Ending with that first song they ever wrote together, as they almost always did. The Man Don't Give A Fuck is a masterpiece and that beepy boomy wall of noise is different every time. Whole room bouncing up and down shouting that they don't give a fuck about anybody else you know they don't give a fuck about anybody else you know.

No encores. Ever. If you have a finale like that why would you? Prompt finish and out. Staff must love it. Everyone hanging on to that last second then moving on at once instead of hanging around unsure if anyone's gonna play again.

Looking forward to doing it again outdoors at Beautiful Days.

I used to take pictures or record videos during gigs and concerts. But honestly, I rarely end up watching them after. I realized that years ago, but still, I tried to catch a single memorable moment for 20 secs with my phone for my live reviews in my blog. For an audiovisual support. But I definitely prefer just text right now.

Now I don't record or take pics in concerts. For me it is just nonesense. I still thank everybody who record gigs entirely and upoload their videos on youtube, for everyone who couldn't go. That's generous and great. The rest of the people... well, they make me not want to go to concerts anymore.
