65 Days Of Static

Nearly missed history Last night! Glad San Marino didn't get the draw, as i'd be disgusted if I'd missed it!
65 days of static played crawdaddy last night, with back up from Parhelia and both were pretty cool actually.
Parhelia had the grumpy guy from sound cellar (Dublin based rocker record shop) on bass. In the shop, he will not smile regardless of situation, but on stage, he just couldn't stop! Beaming from ear to ear. They are a four piece, two guitars, bass and drums, no vocals being the theme for the evening. Nicely layered music, with a definite heavy rock rock vibe.
65 days of static are another Sheffield, but judging on the amount of albums they have out, they've been there for a while before their better known relations! They sound quite like Mogwai, but with heavy use of samples, drum machines in places and piano. They seem nice lads also, and had a bit of humour to them.
There was moshing at the gig (is moshing back? seems to be) but I didn't get involved. Nearly deaf after it! At one point had my fingers in my ears, looked up and all those beside it had their fingers in their ears too! I guess they're not suited to so small a venue!
Gig season contines...
