Mogwai @ Wooly's (5/17/2014)



Opener:
  • Don't know, don't care - some electro dude that wasn't very good.  Only caught the last bit.
Setlist:
  • Opened with first track off the new record, and then spanned most, if not all, of their albums as far as I could tell.  With instrumental music like theirs it's hard to pin down names of songs and where they're from.
Stage:
  • For a relatively small club, they brought more lights that I expected.  But I guess this band has been around for a while.
Observations:
  • The most unexpected thing for me was how freaking loud they were.  It didn't help that I was pretty close to the speaker on the right side of the stage.
    High/low-lights:
    • I liked just about every "song" they played, even the ones I didn't know (or wasn't quite sure if I knew).  The glaring exception to that was the last one, which seemed like a lot of loud noise followed by a lot of quiet followed by a lot of loud noise.
    Rating: 4.4/5
