Agalloch - Middle East Club, Cambridge MA

[JayKeeley]

Here's some pics. You'll notice that I got to the photographers ramp that runs alongside the left of the venue as you face the stage. Needless to say, the view I had was perfect.

I'll take some pictures of the shirts now, and see if I can somehow measure the armlengths!

Could you post the tracklist of the grey EP and take pic of the cover too?

 

[NAD]

Heh, is that an Agalloch logo on their equipment, or Jagermeister?

 

[Tranquillian]

Agalloch, it's printed on the old t-shirt as well.

Could you post the tracklist of the grey EP and take pic of the cover too?

The Grey EP:

THE LODGE (dismantled): 13:04

ODAL (Nothing Remix): 7:47

A Vendlus Records release.

I'll post a picture shortly...needless to say, the cover is rather...grey.

Thanks, I hope to be able to buy it myself.

Has anyone ever heard even just a few seconds of Agalloch playing live? This video picture quality that I took is not great - my MPEG camera is better in daylight, but you'll see the band light up for split seconds in the audience camera flashes. The sound is average I suppose, but it does give you a good idea of how trance-like their show is. Not great, but better than nothing:

Download this or whatever - it won't be up for long since it's eating 2Mb of my server space.

Wow! That was great! Surely they'll tour the west coast again soon. They just have to!

 

[NAD]

I shall NOT miss them next time around.

I have approx. 40 still pictures that I'll have Haddsie brighten up and refine. I'll embed the better ones in the upcoming RC live report. This show will get an awesome write up.

By the way, for those interested, the entire Agalloch band were extremely approachable and all said that the Cambridge gig last night was their best show to date. Ever.

And Andreas from The End is the nicest guy too. Very hospitable and just totally gave me a free pass to the entire venue.

P.S. The Toronto gig apparently sucked due to the venue not providing the correct stage set up. Can you believe that they didn't provide stage monitors? I've played on stage without monitors and it's the equivalent of playing deaf. So the bands decided to opt out of the second night (where they would have been playing NYC instead).

A thirteen minute version of the Lodge? Better keep your copy of the EP under lock and key...nice pictures.

A thirteen minute version of the Lodge?

Even better when they play it live, finally collapsing to the floor, and start fiddling around with their guitars & iPods to make blissful noise. If Haughm had set his guitar alight, they would have been in Hendrix territory.

By the way Erik, with you being the #1 Agalloch fan boy on the planet, I'm throwing in a little surprise for you with the merchandise shipment.

 

[NAD]

Ooooooooooh sounds like scraped skin samples from Haughm's cheek!

 

[JayKeeley]

So close...

 

[Nate The Great]

A dingleberry found in the shitter after Haughm used it?

 

[JayKeeley]

Actually, it is Haughm's guitar pick. Ironically enough, it was found in the shitter after he used it.
