Where did you see them?
I saw them the other night
the frontwoman kept on pretending to be a robot, which made me smile.
Did they do a section of really really short songs?
They always do it
That's one of the two things you can expect from a Melt Banana- the second one being a novelty cover.
Ah, it was the first time I've seen them
they did both.
What cover did they do?
I think it was 'Monkey Man'
we got that too
they called it a specials cover.
its not actually by the specials is it?
toots and the maytals apparently
It's by Toots & The Maytals
The Specials did cover it though.
yah i know they made did it
and the MB version was based on the specials version. just winds me up a bit when someone doesn't seem to know who the song their covering is actually by
But surely they are forgiven?
They're sooo cute!

snob

your mum
they were great when i saw them in glasgow
i also can't do reviews.
yes
yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes!
Bearsuit as support seem to have divided opinion though.
Awesome gig!
Bearsuit as support
- that would be ace! Anyone know who is supporting tonight?
rolo tomassi
far superior
anyone know stage times?
bearsuit are amazing
they're ok
very samey, hardly brutal. 6/10
The sound wasn't too amazing
You couldn't really make out any of Agata's guitar parts, and they're far more suited to smaller venues. Their gig at the Garage a few years back was miles better.
Sound was pretty good in Nottingham
could hear most of the mad stuff Agata was doing, maybe if anything the bass was a tiny bit quiet.
Brilliant live band.
Agata is the greatest effects guitarist in the world. Fact.
