So, I haven't blogged here in a while. Time to fix that, with a review of all the gigs I've been to since Sun Kil Moon in August... Could take a while. Remember, what this lacks in quality, I make up for with quantity.
Ebo in WhelansDeadly gig as always with the Ebo crowd. They'd a few new songs which pleased the crowd myself included. Support was from
Hotrock Spacebar and
I-Phoenix, who were quite good.
Elbow in The AmbassadorI went partly because I wanted to see the amazing band that is
Elbow, but also that I wanted to get in as many gigs in The Ambassador before it closed down. I'll miss that venue. Terrible sound, but I'll always love the place. Elbow were mindblowingly good. The highlight of the set being
Leaders Of The Free World. Interestingly, the bassist had to play the set sitting down having tried to kick down a door in the hotel they were staying the night before, just one of many of Guy's funny stories. He had a great rapport with the crowd as well. He's one of the best front men around these days.
