    Loving the new album...Damn These Vampires is brilliant :)

    Full band yea. Which is a bit unfortunate, but I guess that's how he rolls these days. He'll probably play a few solo songs though! New album is good, think I prefer it to the last one.

    Full band being him, bass and drums or more than that?

    Bass and drums yea. "The Mountain Goats" as a band are now officially John Darnielle on vocals and guitar, Peter Hughes on bass and Jon Wurster on drums.

    I much rather that than just seeing him solo. Some of the songs need the full band sound live I think.

    Yeah as good as the early stuff is, the last six or seven albums have a bigger sound and would be a damn shame to dismiss all that. Band and then a few solo songs will do nicely :)

    Alas, looking at recent setlists there isn't much - or any - of a showing for Heretic Pride. Hopefully there'll be a number or two from that in Dublin though.

    Can you link me a recent setlist?

    Lovecraft in Brooklyn from that album would make me very happy.

    Quick question.

    I am 100% sure I bought my tickets on Tickets.ie and selected Box Office collection, yet I can find no email in any of my accounts and none are registered with Tickets.ie. Is there a chance they don't send out confirmation mails and you just go in with your CC to the box office? Or am I going mad.

    So what are we hoping to hear most tomorrow night then?

    The regular encore of Best Death Metal..., No Children and This Year would be awesome.

    Would love to hear Sax Rohmer, Heretic Pride, Genesis 3:23, Tallahassee, Dance Music, Against Pollution and Id be ecstatic if they played Alpha Omega. Any one of that over enthusiastic wishlist will do :pac:

    I won't complain about x song not being played, it was just a great performance.

    Birth of Serpents has been buzzing around my head all day and Houseguest left me both amused and terrified.

    Trivia: The girl from the support band was F.Scott Fitzgerald's great granddaughter.

    I think the support group were called the Submarines? Were they any good?

    Going to the gig this evening in Koko in camden and am just wondering
    whether to catch the support band or give them a miss?

    I got bored of them quite quickly.

    There's nothing essentially wrong with them, they just did nothing for me.

    They were ok. I only caught the second half of their set but enjoyed it. If you want to get there early to get a good spot they wouldn't be the worst to listen to.

    Only saw about 15 mins of the Submarines. They were ok but wouldn't be rushing out to buy any cd of theirs.

    I only recently bought 2 of the Mountain Goats CDs (Heretic Pride and The Life of the World to Come) and when I saw that they were playing
    here for only £16, I thought I'd head along.

    Really thought the gig was excellent last night. Only knew a couple of songs but there's something about Johns singing and lyrics that really
    makes you listen. Very impressed with them.

    Must check out their other albums. Where's a good place to start?

    Tallahassee or The Sunset Tree I think would be two good choices to start with.

    All Hail West Texas is a good introduction to the wide array of 'militantly no-fi' Mountain Goats records too.
