from sarah o'connor: mogwai was perfect but those kids in the front were annoyingly distracting. that same boy was at their last show at bowery ballroom. i also see this much older possibly scottish couple at every one of their nyc concerts and i've been wondering what their story is.... from joe roth: i was right in front with those freakin' people jumping up and down like a couple of buffoons. they must've mistaken this for some kind of hardcore show. it was really distracting. they were bumping into everyone trying to start some sort of 'pit.' gawd. anyway, the story of the scottish couple is this: they are just huge fans of the band. at the first mogwai show i went to i saw them there and i thought they might've been one of mogwai's parents, as i've seen them at every other 'gwai show. but a few months ago, when mogwai were last in town, at the bowery ballroom, me and a friend of mine saw them at other music, a record shop in nyc. my friend, a little tipsy, went up to them and flat out asked them if they were related to the band at all and they said no, that they were just really big fans. so there you go.
long, rousing crescendos over a ceaseless pulse the pulsation began even before the members of mogwai took the stage at the bowery ballroom on thursday. at first, the fundamental vibration took the shape of a recorded loop of a crashing hi-hat cymbal. soon, the guitarists stuart braithwaite and john cummings massaged the strings of their instruments to life, and the pulse expanded. |
