Two gigs last week: Breeders and Bjork.

Breeders were supported by mountain goats most notable for brown bobbly hat worn by the singer. Pretty crap otherwise. The Breeders were brill – a mix of their old stuff and some new stuff. The sisters had some on stage squabbling which was entertaining. Best tracks: No Aloha and of course Cannonball – so good to hear these tracks live after so many years. The new tracks sounded interesting … .waiting for the new album now.

Bjork was a totally different experience. Lasers, smoke, fire cauldrons, amazing costumes and falling confetti/foil made the show visually amazing. She played a mix of known tracks and some new ones. Her dancing to some of the more wild songs was amazing, and she really seemed into it … the crowd was totally awestruck at some of the tracks – I was totally deafened by the applause, and thought my eardrum was perforated at one point. So many good tracks, and few slow ones to give contrast. Brill!
