Headliner: 65daysofstatic
Venue: Rescue Rooms Nottingham
Date: 24 Sep 2013
Support: The Physics House Band, Sleepmakeswaves

Tonight it was 65daysofstatic now what do you describe them as Post Rock, Instrumental, math rock or just simply a post rock industrial math rock band.  What ever genre it is some of these bands like explosions in the sky, mogwai etc are massively underrated creating some immense soundscapes with amazing highs and lows in the same song epic stuff.

I don't mind an early curfew on a week night at my age but the one down point to this is that after finishing work, grabbing something to eat and driving over to Nottingham it's often the case that you miss the first support band, arriving at the venue at 19.45 the first band of the night The Physics House Band had been and gone and I missed all their set.

Next up was a band called sleepmakeswaves an Australian post rock band, the first thing that struck me was the bass played with his bald head and big ginger beard looked like the bloke from the guess who game!

Anyway their set was epic and almost destroyed me, dream like soundscapes intertwined with chaos mind blowing stuff, music that sucks you and transports you to another place WOW!

Next up 65daysofstaic I have seen these a few times before but this was the first actual club show and the last time was in a museum! see tramlines post.

Anyway they came on and did what they do best and played for about 80mins before they had to finish up and let the students in.

Most people get put off my instrumental music or post rock music but once you give in it's such a rewarding experience especially live

Walking back to the car you could tell it was student night as we walked past about 4 Romans dressed in togas, a few men in drag and a man dressed as a penguin.... made me look the weird one in my traditional outfit of jeans and a check shirt.
