Malerman" Subject: [idealcopy] Mission accomplished Mission Of Burma played Dublin this week and were highly entertaining. I wasn't familiar with their music at all, but had read stuff in recent years that piqued my interest, especially the fact that they were apparently inspired to reform after having seen Wire play the US in 2002. They are a great live band that really go for it and certainly enjoy themselves, which I found quite infectious. The bass player has the most beat up bass I've ever seen. Bob Weston was doing sound for them, throwing a few spanners in the works to comic effect. Nice relaxed and friendly stage presence which I liked immediately. Whilst the tunes wouldn't quite grab me in the same way as some of their contemporaries, they certainly knock out a good show - very glad I went in the end.

Malerman" Subject: Re: [idealcopy] Mission accomplished Exciting. Saw them in Philadelphia in February. Excellent show. Opening act wasn't great, but Mission Of Burma themselves more than made up for that, both in spite of and partly because of the sudden, perfectly-timed abandonment of their most recognised song *seconds* before the chorus due to a tuning argument... In an odd way, that made my night. On Sat, May 15, 2010 at 5:47 AM, Fergus Kelly wrote: > Mission Of Burma played Dublin this week and were highly entertaining.
