Mogwai

South Palm Beach, Florida

There were many aspirations that we had when we started this band. Many things we wanted to achieve and places we wanted to go. It must be said that playing at tea time in an empty stadium in Florida was probably not one of them. Going on tour with one of my favourite bands (The Cure) alongside a good few of our friends was an opportunity i jumped at ,but the harsh reality of sporadically scattered confused Floridians staring at our pasty frames wasn't quite what i imagined. It was outrageously hot and i'm guessing that most folks stayed inside until they really had to. It was all a bit odd and stayed much the same whilst The Rapture were on. Interpol fared better as it as getting dark and they have the luxury of having some hits. The Cure were majestic, though the encore was a bit cheery for my liking.
