03/12/10 - Biffy Clyro + The Futureheads @ Manchester Central

 


I'm working at a few gigs at Manchester Central this week.  First up, Biffy Clyro supported by The Futureheads.

I've seen The Futureheads about 4 or 5 times now and each time has been in a completely different venue.  I've seem them play the tiny Night & Cafe, an even smaller intimate set in HMV and a overflowing NME Tent at Reading 2005 when indie music was at its peak and 'Hounds Of Love' was everywhere, but amazingly last night's support slot for Biffy was the best I've seen them.  Their joint headliner slot in the NME tent at Reading was amazing, but 3 albums later their set list is just hit after hit after hit.  I'd love to go see them again on Wednesday with The Wombats, Everything Everything and Bombay Bicycle Club (that'll be an awesome gig!) but I'm working at Pendulum that night.

Then came Biffy... I've never really thought of myself as a Biffy Clyro fan and I've certainly never considered paying to go and see them but they were incredible!  It is impossible to take your eyes off Simon Neil, he just had the whole audience's attention for the duration of their 2 hour set!  He has amazing stage presence and at times, a freaky resemblance to Kurt Cobain.  Girls want to be with him, guys want to be him.  Definitely go see them even if you only slightly like them!
