E D I T O R S
The band so cool they went for all caps AND l e t t e r s p a c e s played in our place last night. Had a bit of a walk around just before doors and surveyed the stage for cool warez:
Monitor World
IEM World
Freshly laundered mics
MIDI/Playback (?) world...
Support bands have the dopest rugs.
I'm a fan of this guitar/amp/light up sign... Even the green lead is alluring...
For a guy who only seems to use one FX pedal, the guitarist has an impressive WWF figurine collection.

I, too, would play a Rick or Gretsch before a Gibson....if I had the dollar...

Oh yeah, and the show looked like this:
Never really got into Editors past hearing the odd tune on the radio. Saw them support R.E.M. in Manc a few years back, and they were good. Last night's show shows they've matured into a more electronic sounding monster, featuring keyboards, samplers, electronic drums and backing tracks. I liked it! They certainly have the skills to create an atmosphere, even if the lead singer does sound a BIT like a biology lecturer... I was also going to show the guitarist the 'time' control on his delay pedal - there's a whole world outside the 'slapback' region!! But seriously, they make a great sound and I may have to think about getting hold of a few of their records.
The highlight of the day for me was when they decided to fly the smallest stack I've ever seen flown:
I count 6 x boxes per side. Roffle. Well they paid for a rigger; may as well use him.....
