Aw, maaaaaan. I was supposed to go to that show. But my friend got free Tix to see bloke out of Third Eye Foundation at the Arts Cafe instead.

(But really I just wanted to go to see Captiol K)

Capitol K-rub more like.

It looked as they were fronted by Charlie Nicholas, and they were awful, some 0of the worst lyrics I've ever heard too.

Capitol K? Pants.

Bad lyrics, dull music, what less could you want?

Mind you, they were supporting Alec Empire so maybe my taste-o-matic is all skewiff.

Humph! Saw Capitol K a few months back at the Arse Cafe and they were wonderful. Progtronica for people who don't like electronica. They are headlining their own show next week there, so I can make my own conclusions about how you are all wrong.

We said that they were prog. They were atrocious.

one lyric =
there's a tiger chasing meeeeeee

through the jungle

and into the citeeeeeee

we larfed. Suspiciously much older main bloke than other members too, I never like to see that.

You say "Prog" like there's something wrong with that.

yeah, we saw their "secret" warmup gig a couple of weeks ago. all gigs should start with two drummers wearing bear masks pounding away, they really should.

indeed, the drumming was fantastic.

New record is very nice. They've transformed into an indie rock band, and a good one at that. The Cornelius comparison is pretty close

Manitoba is Dan Snaith.
Loved "give'r", and the remix on Four Tet "Paws" , but haven't heard the new one yet.
There's a Manitoba remix of Mr. Scruff's track "Sweetsmoke" coming out on Ninja Tune sometime soon.

I'm so hoping that's not a typo.
Where is the Arse Cafe and have Elbow ever played there?

?? you're presumably not talking about the new manitoba album?

btw apparently the batteries had died in one drummer's headphones last night, which is why the drumming was out of sync to start with.

(The old album is amazing).

The new one is like Glifted and MBV.
