Gonna see 'em tomorrow with Kid606. They've fucked up the PA the 2 times I've seen them so i expect nothing less. Should be fucking loud.

i like mogwai but i like explosions in the sky better

they copied mogwai's sound and then made it their own

if you get the chance to see em live, don't sleep

its funny you mention them, i have just started listening to them. cant say i like explosions *better* but i think they are on par with mogwai for sure. its a different sound so to be fair i dont think i can say one is better than the other. im def getting into it though. its fantastic music for just about any circumstance

i actually heard their music in the background of some car commercial the other day, haha

Speaking of music in adverts. Everybody needs to check The Black Keys.

Yep I like mogwai.
Another band along the lines of explosions in the sky and mogwai is - godspeed you black emperor.

Posted: **Wed Sep 20, 2006 8:53 pm**

there's a lot of bands that sorta have that sound

maserati, a silver mt zion, and mono come to mind

one of my favorite bands that was totally influenced by this sound is Isis

they're way more metal but have a totally obvious mogwai influence

Try these out, a couple of my old housemates are in this band

"sounding like pelican lying down with mogwai with radiohead and cult of luna poking their nose in to see what the noise is about, this is impressive stuff’ h'apparently.

Mogwai = goood

Mogwai Fear Satan is one of the greatest songs ever.

Not seen them for a couple of years though.

Right?

I like that niche of music in general. I like Isis as well. Ain't nothing wrong with metal in my book...

big fan of explosions in the sky, my username on this is a nod to them in fact. live they are incredible, so epic. mogwai are up and down for me. but when they are good they're amazing - hunted by a freak I'll never tire of. i could talk about this stuff for hours.

Posted: **Wed Sep 20, 2006 10:35 pm**

i forgot about pelican

man seeing explosions in the sky live is a phenomenal experience

those dudes look like they're dying on stage they're playing so hard

it wouldn't surprise me if they had bloody fingers after every show

Posted: **Thu Sep 21, 2006 1:37 pm**

i forgot about pelican too, although i have their stuff as well. they are quite good too.

anyone ever heard zombi? sounds like epic metal movie soundtracks. best way i can describe it.

also, explosions in the sky do the entire soundtrack to this movie Friday Night Lights, which i could take or leave, but it was pleasant listening

Posted: **Thu Sep 21, 2006 4:48 pm**

haven't heard zombi but that sounds interesting

i haven't seen friday night lights but have wanted to for a while. explosions in the sky are from that town though they now live in austin.

i think one of the guys from godspeed ybe did the score for 28 days later

You need to also check the earlier stuff from Tortoise, they're great.

Saw them play here last year and they ended their concert with it. Really great song.

i think you are right, and that also reminds me that i need to purchase that score

Mogwai used to be good, but they really stole their sound from Slint...my fav band of all time (including Beatles and shit)

Posted: **Fri Sep 29, 2006 9:45 am**

i saw mogwai back where i was like 14 or summit, at ma local youthclub when they were starting out (takes me back) cant say ive ever really been into that style of music but they have come such a long way since then, gotta give em respect for that.
