The Longcut - Stunning live band
Fantastic, haven't danced at a gig so much since bloc party. Caught a feedback driven single of theirs with a very 4 to the floor influenced rhythm from the bassist and drummer which i really enjoyed and definately stood out from the normal noise you hear on mtv2. Think it was called 'a quiet life' and didn't hear of them again till i caught the lads at glasto and was blown away by their feedback drenched sound, but last night was quality and loudness of the sound made it a much more enjoyable gig. if they can translate the power and intensity of their live sound onto record then the forthcoming album is gonna be very special indeed. Hopefully they can do this as the last time i saw a band this amazing live 'mo solid gold' their album was very average indeed
There was 8 of us there and everybody including mates who'd never heard of them before loved it, and afterwards over a drink we were discussing who the boys sound like. Their sound is very individualistic, but its very much driven by the feedback layered with effects coming from the guitarist and we agreed there's elements of my bloody valentine, swervedriver, joy division, mogwai with a hint of U2 in what they're doing which imo is good company to be among. Anyways if you like the bands above, particularly MBV and mogwai then i'd recommend you cacth the live asap. their playing in Bristol on Thus, and London Cargo fri, no idea whether theres tickets avialable, but well worth making the effort imo infact the only issue some of my mates had was the drummer singing, one felt that because he's such an good drummer you'd like to hear him hitting the beats constantly as he brings such a warmth to the sound, and secondly because they felt he had a weak voice. Didn't detract from my enjoyment, and think it makes them stand out that half the time he's singing at the front with electronic beats drumming and half the time he's behind the kit drumming live although it was difficult at times hearing excatly what he was singing. However i did have to agree with one mate who said 'they're brillant musicians, but its hardly commercial music, well not in a traditional indie sense and so they only need a great singer if they want to become the next big thing and go worldwide. To me it looks like they're more interested in making amazing mindblowing music for themselves, which i think is a good thing' see u at the front next time, as the longcut are a band who are only gonna get better the more they play together, and i'm gonna try and catch them as much as possible

Re: The Longcut - Stunning live band
just checked their site and for those interested here is their latest single/video 'a quiet life'
enjoyed it, but could only listen to it dead quiet on my shitty work speakers which didn't do it justice, but brought back so good memories of pogo-ing up and down last night  http://mfile.akamai.com/1689/wmv/bmg...life2_256k.asx

 if they announce a toon gig then don't miss em as at the moment i think they sound much better live than on record, maybe that'll change when i get to hear the eps on non-shitty work speakers

Re: The Longcut - Stunning live band
Yo Tiger, looking back in the old threads I stumbled upon this. Thanks very much for the recommendation. These guys are blowing me away and I can only hope they come across the Atlantic one of these days.

Re: The Longcut - Stunning live band
yes the debut album 'a call and response' came out week before last. personally i love it, but then i'd heard all the tracks before either live or on various radio sessions. the old tracks 'last act of a desperate man' and singles 'transition' and 'a quiet life' have been re-recorded and certainly sound beefed up sonically.
but sonics are what this abnd are about, the drummer hits em as hard as anyone, the bass sounds loud and dinstinctive, while the guitarist is imo a genius. together they make fantastic sound which is difficult to categorise as it takes in many influences from rock, punk, prog and dance. anyways its a brillant album, but live is where you should truly experience them. caught em end of last month at a gig u can watch live [COLOR=#0000ff]http://www.channelm.co.uk/music/[/COLOR] click on the 'watch channel m now' banner at the top and select the 'music channel'
