Anyone going to this??
Should be a good show.
Question though, if doors open at 8pm, how long would you expect the support act to go for before the main act goes on. I finish work at 8:30 so I'm trying to figure out if I can make it there in time to see them start.
w00t!

Hmm, tempting, but I bought scabdates recently and I didn't really like it (only other album of theirs I have is Francis the Mute). Is Scabdates a live recording?

You go to the arena often don't you trog, how long do the support acts usually play for?

Yes mate...

Deloused still my fav album, but Scabdates shows they can pull it off live as well.

How much of their sets are just the instrumental/atmospheric stuff? I really dig it when I'm listening to Francis the Mute _in its entirety_, but I don't think I'd be so keen on it at a live concert.

At big day out they did heaps of it, but I like it that way. Then they just suddenly launch back in and go nuts. It rocks

Went off!
3hour set of craziness.
That drummer is not human. Every single wack of a drum sent sprays of sweat flying and at like 2349203840198BPM, that's a lot of sweat!
Great night, well worth $65.
