Cynics Anonymous

I go to as many gigs as is financially possible and thought it would be sensible to keep a journal of gigs I go to, cds I buy, new and old bands I come across and anything else I fancy going on about.

14 Feb - SmytherJones @ The Glasgow Barfly

I'm updating this less than two hours after the gig as I've now got 3 gigs on this week! It'll be a busy one so on with the review.

We've played Barfly on a few occassions now and its a favourite venue for the band and tonight was no exception. The first 3 songs were delivered very tightly and all was going well untill "Conservative Nation No More" when a few errors led to a dodgy finish. The next song was plagued by sound problems but they recovered well with a strong ending with a cover of the Pink Floyd classic "The Wall".

A good night and a livley crowd that enjoyed the hospitality of the band room while The Coast played onstage, and as such I am unaware of how theior set went...sorry guys.

Next up Arab Strap and Berrjacket at King Tuts, roll on Thursday.

Good night.
