Exxile on Euphoria 2001
February 16 |
This gig was noted for high goth percentage in the audience and the lack of its
participation. The setlist was almost identical to
the Leeds gig with Train/Detonation Boulevard,
Anaconda, War on Drugs and Jolene removed and Come Together and Body Electric
added, thus resulting in one of the shortest gigs this tour songcountwise.
Support acts: Tin Star, Dave Thomas and Two Pale Boys. |

Another great gig last night! Perhaps not quite as storming as
Leeds or
Nottingham as the band seemed a little
less up for it this time,
probably because there was a high percentage of g*ths in the audience
just posing and standing around talking throughout the whole
performance. But we got Come Together and Body Electric again
(always good), and there was quite a mosh during the last last song of
the night, Vision Thing.
I arrived at the venue, after spending ages driving round the maze that
is Birmingham's horrendous ring road, roadworks and one-way system, just
in time to see Tin Star take to the stage. This lot are really beginning
to grow on me. I wasn't too impressed with the debut CD but their new
material sounds good. Definitely the best Sisters support act since
Cubanate back in '97.
The Birmingham Academy is a smart new venue with a nice, wide stage and
pretty decent PA. I think I'm right in saying that this place used to be
called The Hummingbird (?) - it just seemed so familiar.
There was a lot less smoke on the stage this time making it easy to see
the band. I wonder if Old Smokie Machine had started to run out of
juice?

You think? I thought it a little lacklustre, the audience seeming to be
not really up for it in general. Warmed up a lot towards the end though.
It was still fun, but not as much fun as the previous three have been.

Yes, famous for evil security and nasty sticky carpet. The security appears
to have got more friendly - though the carpet is still gross and sticky
which is odd as it's only been open since Christmas! In fact, looking
around the place, I suspect they didn't actually do it up much, merely
re-opened it after an 8 year mothballing. I think I was last there for
the NMA "hopeless causes" gigs. Also being the place where Rosetta first
did their "eye for the main chance" material.
Nice to see Brum getting a decent medium sized venue back again though.
