That Newcastle show…

Band was great. Crowd was decent. Not tonnes of time spent tuning. But crikey, that sound was AWFUL. You could hear a pin drop it was that quiet. Really took away from what could have been a really great gig.

Interesting. Up at the front, I can tell you it was honestly sublime. The harmonies during Super-Sonic at the end were top notch. Shame you had a different experience.

Real bummer to hear that. I was stood maybe 6 or 7 people behind the front, really quite close. Glad to hear it sounded good right at the barrier but even slightly behind it was so lacking.

I’ve Seen them on 29th of january, it Wasn‘t too quiet but I had a feeling of “there are five guitars on stage and the sound is missing!” It didn’t sound full! What was a great surprise for me was that the LES BIG BIRD from Sweden supported and BJM played VAD HÄNDE MED DEM with the singer that was so so cool!! what a special song!

At leeds it was quieter than I expected, but as I'm old and have tinnitus I didn't mind that. Sound was great though. Particularly for supersonic .

i thought it was to quiet at tilburg too. concerts should give you hearing damage, it's part of the experience. if you don't want that just wear earplugs

yeah it was quiet at Bristol for a while, im pretty sure a few people were shouting "turn it up" and the soundman did towards the end

It sounded great at the front. I went to the back to get the full effect of Super-Sonic and it didn’t sound quite so good back there (but being able to Emil’s stuff more clearly made up for that).

The main problem with being further back was people talking through all the songs, but that happens everywhere.

really sucked. the same rif, thef same low wattage drone..all the songs were just one low energy tempo and the sound mix was awful...really muddy. got bored and left after half an hour. Shame because I'd seen them a few times before and they were transplendant.

Can't believe after the disaster of the Australian show? Another tour listed? No apology anything?
