i don't know if anyone else had the same experience as i did with mogwai,
but it seems like there are quite a few people out there that aren't open
to them. i saw them opening for pavement in athens back in '96, and the
crowd wasn't very receptive. it was amusing though, cuz the mogwai boys
noticed that people didn't like them, so they started being their scottish
asshole selves. their louds got louder and more *angry*, and the quiets
quieter so that when it Did get loud, it scared people. plus the bass
player got pissed off and sat down to smoke his cigarette. :)
so. go see mogwai live, and if you don't like them, they'll piss you off
even more.
although i must say they put on a great show.
do you people like slint? if so, i don't know how could could not like
mogwai. mogwai has become what slint could have had they not broken up. or
maybe mogwai is even more than slint ever would have been.
