After a somewhat exhausting journey (3.5hrs from home to Bristol) we arrived at the venue to find that the first band hadn't even been on yet. But actually, Sinestar weren't bad at all. They had a sniff of Mesh about them, but not really on that particular band's level. After a year of shit support bands, Sinestar were a refreshing change.
Rose is yet to be convinced that Shiv-r are any good, but I like them (albeit I do think the new album is far above what has gone before). I wish the whole set was taken from Wax Wings Will Burn, but sadly it was just a few songs (albeit the best ones)... after the show Pete Crane was standing near the merchandise stall (such as it was!) and I asked him about the availability of the remix album.
How things change. A couple of years ago Rose would no more go and see Aesthetic Perfection than eat pasta. But now... This was my second time seeing Aesthetic Perfection of course, having seen him co-headlining with Faderhead in Sheffield in 2013. Earlier in the week Daniel had posted an apology on his Facebook page about the fact that he was feeling very ill and had only played for 35mins in Manchester, I wonder if that put a few people off coming out because the venue was a bit sparsely populated...
Actually at one point we had considered going to Manchester because Cyferdyne were supporting there, however a mix up of dates meant that we switched to Bristol, and I'm glad we did because it was great and I think he probably played the full set and his voice sounded okay too.
Coming on to 'All Beauty Destroyed' was a good start, pity he didn't play it all though... half way through he segued into 'A Nice Place to Visit' and the gig started proper.
Not sure of the full setlist but songs played include: The Siren, The New Black, Big Bad Wolf, Lights Out, All Beauty Destroyed, The Ones, Inhuman and The Great Depression.
And Rose loved it too. :)
