@alisonsghost Because they were playing in a venue that couldn't hold all the ticket holders at the same time, ATP insisted that you had to have a special wristband that denoted which night you could see them. Most people went for the first night. They were OK but nothing spectacular. Yes they were very loud but other bands do that. Shields spent a lot of time getting annoyed with sound engineers. On the remaining two nights the competition from other bands was clearly better...
I think KS is well known for extreme attention to detail! I'm not sure how you'd go about producing that sort of sound on stage. Thanks for the info :)

Fab track.

They're great live!

It's quite clear where The Strokes got some of their influences, listening to this. Great choice though (as always).

@oded I know. I've seen them quite a few times before. My nephew's band are supporting them this time and they are really chuffed.

Saw them at ATP late one Friday night a few years ago - excellent.

@spewish I was at that one (curated by My Bloody Valentine I think). Excellent as you say.

That'll be it - MBV played 3 times and the crowd got smaller and smaller each time...

I saw the Buzzcocks years ago and they were wonderful.
