Twilight Sad
MakeModel
Eagleowl
Liquid Room, Edinburgh
Bottom of the bill eagleowl make interesting, dirty three influenced, post rock with guitar, violin and double bass. Probably the best band of the night for me, and the only one I managed to take a photo of.
MakeModel make shouty hyperactive 'guitars and keyboards' pop. Not my cup of tea at the best of times having a couple of really dislikeable front men really didn't help.
Twilight Sad were a different experience. They were trying for 'mystique' in terms of stage presence to go with their austere post-punk sound. That of course fell to pieces when they ran into technical difficulties and the lead singer started telling stories about accidently calling Stirling a toilet. Musically they were quite interesting, but sounded like they'd not quite managed to a have an original idea as of yet.
Halting State
By far his best novel so far, Halting State is a near-future thriller set in Edinburgh.
Neil Young
Pegi Young
Playhouse, Edinburgh
An epic near three hour, 24 track, show (not including the intermissions) by one of my all-time musical heroes in the perfect setting of Edinburgh's biggest theatre.
As for his wife, it was pleasant country rock with lashings of pedal steel.
