Better late than never - I just got the photos from the Mogwai gig that I saw two days after the Sigur Rós concert in the last week of March.

The opening act was The Magnificents. They were a sort of retro electro pop band, and were OK:

Mogwai were fantastic, they played a lot of the new album, but also plenty of older ones including my favorite from the last album, Hunted by a Freak:

Being in a smaller venue (and closer to the stage) than Sigur Rós, I could feel the music more, at one point I thought my fillings would come out with the vibrations that were coming from the floor and wall! I would say that Sigur Rós just shaded it as my favourite gig of the two I saw that week.

They finished with Mogwai Fear Satan:
