Unfortunately I didn’t attend this gig, but I did watch it last night. On the 30th of April ¡Forward, Russia! played at the London Calling festival in Amsterdam. Fabchannel have been very generous and put up an extremely high quality recording of the gig on the internet. The tracklisting for the set is:
- Thirteen
- Don’t Reinvent What You Don’t Understand
- Don’t Be A Doctor
- Twelve
- Gravity & Heat
- Nine
- Spanish Triangles
The gig features particularly good versions of both Don’t Be A Doctor and Gravity & Heat, which are probably two of my favourite ¡Forward, Russia! songs, so that was very fortunate. Both songs gave me that tingly feeling that instantly makes me want to go to the next possible ¡Forward, Russia! gig, they are that good. The only real downsides are that it was a relatively short set and a number of other songs weren’t played. Other than that I wholeheartedly reccomend that you check the video out, it’s embeded below for your viewing pleasure.
Thats a dam fine gig. watched most of it. sounded incredibly tight. male me sad i missed them at dummonds
woops. makes me sad, no male, well…… i am male but…… sad, am i sad? i dont know.
Yeah they were in fine form there. I was actually thinking to myself that they seemed much more practiced on the new stuff than they did in Glasgow or Dundee. Having said that, they were still awesome at those two gigs.
It’s a shame you missed out on seeing them at Drummonds, but as with all these things you have to get your priorities right I guess.
