stevem - would it be really cheeky of me to ask for a copy of the gig if you succeed in recording it? I'm obv. happy to pay costs.
― neil simpson (neil simpson), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 16:37 (twenty years ago) link
if i manage to record the gig ok it will be online. CD copy also possible (tho i am horribly slack with burning and posting discs as the 'post your 700mb cd of stuff you love' thread will testify)

Oh don't worry, I have already had the pleasure of Broadcast live this year, at ULU in, uh, June or something. And they were fucking splendid. I've just decided, big-hearted fool that I am, to forfeit my place this evening for the benefit of someone who hasn't seen 'em yet. And for the benefit of my ailing liver, natch.

i assume you mean 'Hammer Without A Master' - on record there are no vocals but Keenan took to doing some extremely brittle banshee-style wailing at the start of it when played live. this is probably the furthest she goes in evoking real emotion on stage but her 'jilted science girl' style is still kinda appealing elsewhere.

Of course she's not remotely in the same league as Alison Goldrapp as a singer, technically. Even, say, the girls in Ladytron, whose voices sound a little weak on their records, are much more convincing live (although that is no doubt partly because they know their limitations and are more determined to stay within them. Trish was attempting a lot of lower-register stuff that probably took a number of takes to get right on the record, and she struggled badly).

That said, for those who were there, what gear did they have on stage? I've been trying to figure out what equipment was used on Haha Sound but sometimes I draw a blank when it comes to figuring out what made a particular noise.

All I can say is they were absolutely fine the one time I heard them, earlier this year - much better than I expected from hearing the records. Not naturally gifted singers, but they'd obviously put in the rehearsal hours and as a result - intonation good, harmonies tight, no timing problems. I attended the concert with a female singer who, with the exception of Alison Goldfrapp, is substantially more gifted than any of the singers we've been discussing and she was surprised and impressed.
