Their live performance was just stunning. I was kind of dubious whether they would be able to pull of their quite minimal style at the venue but they definitely did and they were by far the best musical performance of the night. Although not the whole crowd were getting involved (unfortunately) the general stage show made up for it. Their whole electronic style was encouraged by this peculiar but really effective use of in-time lights on each of their  chests. I also found that Oscar was very strange (still in a good way) especially with his electric Clarinet solo that had me stunned.</p> <p>Overall they were even better than I expected and their actual musical skills were by far the best of the night (yes that does mean I thought they were better that Two Door Cinema Club).</p> <p>Also the photos above are from yesterday courtesy of <span><a href="http://acatcalledmouse.tumblr.com/">acatcalledmouse</a> and </span><span><a href="http://stevenconnolly.tumblr.com/">stevenconnoll</a>y</span></p> </blockquote>http://www.cityandsticks.co.uk/post/17941648419http://www.cityandsticks.co.uk/post/17941648419Mon, 20 Feb 2012 06:22:55 -0500gignorwichreviewnme tour<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyhgijJNca1qfmwcco1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://openedmyheart.tumblr.com/post/16606104184/from-the-night-to-the-light-all-plans-are-golden">openedmyheart</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><em>From the night to the light / all plans are golden in your hands</em></p> <p>Klaxons at the LCR, UEA</p> </blockquote>http://www.cityandsticks.co.uk/post/16757307658http://www.cityandsticks.co.uk/post/16757307658Mon, 30 Jan 2012 07:30:12 -0500klaxonsgig photonorwich<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://assets.tumblr.com/swf/audio_player_black.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/16608540548/tumblr_lyfkjxlGQe1qaeo09&color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best" wmode="opaque"></embed><br/><br/><p><a href="http://coherentways.tumblr.com/post/16602616457/hellyeahmodestmouse-modest-mouse-teeth-like" class="tumblr_blog">coherentways</a>:</p> <blockquote><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://hellyeahmodestmouse.tumblr.com/post/16602568566">hellyeahmodestmouse</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Modest Mouse - Teeth like God’s Shoeshine</p> </blockquote> <p>Favourite</p></blockquote> <p>Great song</p>http://www.cityandsticks.co.uk/post/16608540548http://www.cityandsticks.co.uk/post/16608540548Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:24:26 -0500modest mousemusictrack<a href="http://count-in-fives.tumblr.com/post/16341546940/the-horrors-were-perfect">lying in false paradise: The Horrors were perfect </a>: <p>Looks like The Horrors impressed last night then?</p> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://count-in-fives.tumblr.com/post/16341546940/the-horrors-were-perfect">count-in-fives</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>The setlist was amazing, they played fucking brilliantly, Faris had the best shirt I’ve ever seen, ahhhhhhhh everything was perfect.</p> <p>When they walked out I turned into a wailing fangirl, I suddenly remembered how much I love them and how much they mean to me, sounds lame but it’s true.

class="MsoNormal"><span>Norwich</span><span> is about to gain another ace music venue, as OPEN readies itself for business.<span> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>OPEN is an independently-run new venture in the city centre, comprising two gig spaces:<span>  </span>a grand main hall with moving walls (the capacity of which can be adjusted to hold anywhere between 300 and 1,450 punters) and a smaller club venue, which holds 400.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>The building also boasts a dance studio, games room and climbing wall.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>OPEN is run by a charitable trust (as opposed to, say, a brewery or mobile phone company), which means that the venue’s profits can be channelled back into local youth projects.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>Speaking to B-Side, Live Music Events Manager Rick Lennox (who previously worked for One Little Indian and Polydor Records, and discovered Skunk Anansie) explained, “OPEN was not set up in competition with the UEA or the Waterfront – we would like to share big bands with other venues, as something extra for the City.”</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>OPEN, er, opens on 9^th March 2012 with BBC Introducing-favourite Billy Lockett, supported by Norwich sensation Lee Vann.<span> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>For full details and ticket information, visit the venue’s <a href="http://www.opennorwich.org.uk/">website</a> or click here to take a <a
