Wall of Mouths

Show us your weapon!

Hey, I’ll keep an eye out for you. Pretty excited myself.
You don’t have any word on the second support act do you?

I was truly gobsmacked at how fucking brilliant they were last night. I really can’t believe they were that awesome. 7th time I’ve seen T? and was the best.

Transcribed from the Portsmouth Evening News 23rd October:

Loads of life left

Therapy?
Wedgewood Rooms, Southsea

From the off there was no doubting the intensity of the Northern Irish trio. Nineteen years into their career and there was no sign of letting up.
Opening up with a pile-driving Rust, the riffs designed to level tower blocks came thick and fast.
But it was from throbbing new single Crooked Timber that things got really crazy. With a skittery punkish energy, after that the band delved into their early 90s commercial peak, with a crunching Teethgrinder, Turn, and their finest song, Screamager with its chorus screamed back by the crowd: ‘I’ve got nothing to do except hang around and get screwed up on you’, accompanied by one of the catchiest hooks on record. The main set finished with their punishing take on Joy Division’s Isolation - another crowd favourite.
Coming back for the encores frontman Andy Cairns, clearly knows which side his bread is buttered - he told us that they would play a couple of songs from the new album before delving back into the ‘last century’.
And so we got Stories, another cover in the shape of a whip through Husker Du’s Diane, Die Laughing and a frenetic Nowhere closing proceedings.
They may be a dozen albums old, but there’s clearly still plenty of life in these old dogs yet.

Also here’s a link to Innocent X and some more Portsmouth footage. I don’t know who filmed it but it’s good:

Great set list, watching the Stories video right now - sounds brilliant!

Nice interview!

Loose????? You’ve gotta be kidding me.

Would have loved to have heard it live. One of my all time favourite T? songs.
