Gilla Band - Shoulderblades / Going Norway / Paul - Live at Le Guess Who?

[@irotinmyskin]

while to some people this might sound like just noise, to get this kind of "noises" so consistently and on point requires some true skill, not to mention the creativity to play instruments in such a non traditional way. respect to this band, one the best shows i've ever been to.

[@SeymourKilmore]

anyone who thinks it just sounds like noise is ridiculous, there are clear beats and melodies and notes being played and like you said it certainly isn't random

[@elliot_p1]

@Cruz Jesiah its true! there isn't anybody that does care!

[@rederickfroders1978]

This just isnt for everybody, just like some people just dont get impressionist paintings. Really a bummer! But its unfair to blame them for it considering the pop music theyre served day in day out.

[@colin5115]

fuck all the explanations or justifications; they arrange noises is a rhythmic and pleasing way and they fuck as songs

[@markrennie86]

hhhnnnnghhh.......surely in 2023 we're passed the discussion of "what constitutes music versus noise?" Pop music has literally never been noisier so I can't imagine that's what puts people off of this... To speak to the second part of your comment though, what I imagine DOES put people off is "OH! A GUITAR BAND!? BUT WHERE'S THE RIFFS?

[@patriciofernandez2711]

That guitar has ghosts and the howling wind inside it. Love it.

[@drearynonsense203]

Reverb into fuzz is a great sound

[@s_paknaloid1351]

Video quality that does justice to the incredible songs. Brilliant.

indeed, and soooo well lit! Would loved to have been there!

Holy cow, can’t believe how perfect they are live. Wish I could hear that bass in my heart irl

[@Plastiquesmile01]

I still think this lot are geniuses. So apart from everyone else and doing exactly what they like. If I saw this fresh I'd probably cry.

[@pearlzahara]

I can't stop smiling, I'm glad I just found this beautiful band ,love love it

[@NowonosMusic]

The audio on this is absolutely amazing.

[@dawnchorusaudio]

Former TivoliVredenburg audio tech here: Most (if not all) of these LGW? registrations are recorded and mixed by Marc Broer. He delivers consistently great work and is a nice human on top of that!

[@EenMagnetron]

I was there and I feel lucky as fuck, especially considering I saw Lightning Bolt right after this (and before this I saw Deerhunter and The Raincoats)

[@twerkfromhome]

Did the raincoats play dont be mean

[@horselookinghumanheadass]

STACKED LINEUP holy shit

Saw them last night in Manchester and they were phenomenal!!!

I was there. Fucking incredible.

Lucky you are! Hope to see them again in France soon, hopefully. Cheers! :)

this music makes so much sense these days, bless you birl gand

[@versnellingspookie]

I've been wanting to see these guys for the longest time now, i hope i get to see them soon

[@versnellingspookie]

Update; I have seen them live. They were amazing! Nice dudes as well. Go support them!❤

[@Vantier]

Singer is surprisingly close to the album

[@drearynonsense203]

And thats talent

[@drnastyful]

Come to think of it, yeah you're right.

[@PaddyArdill]

Shoulderblades might be the best song they’ve released, unreal

[@kaylons]

@Paulo Farías Girl Band is not a solo project tho?

[@Daywalkr]

I feel that way about Going Norway

[@hunter-zu3hk]

I think prefab castle's my favourite. The groove at the end is just so good.

[@jamieeee9963]

How am I only now discovering such amazingness?!?

[@luckyphilster]

I’m saying that now 😢

[@LyraPuppyUwU]

Thankyou Joe Talbot for introducing me to this band

[@Seth-hc2bj]

Met the front man after a show in washington dc. Nice guy!

[@theoquiblier8356]

Legends.

This⬆️. everything that makes them great live, is what I miss most in our current world state. I realize that’s small taters compared to some folks issues, but damn, I miss live tunes soooo much.

[@maciejkulesza9011]

Is a singer a little brother of James Murphy from LCD?

[@heimatei333]

From the Thumbnail I though this was an LCD Soundsystem performence :))

[@LocalTeen]

He does use the same microphone as him

[@Francis-rs7zu]

He's certainly channeling Mark E Smith from The Fall.

[@MrAdrianloera]

Jesus Christ, going Norway is probably the best song I've heard this decade.

[@xTheOxx]

Flawless

[@luuk441]

what a band!

[@brandoa330]

A more animated Mark e Smith. His vocal inflections are very much like Mark’s. Not hating just observing. Everyone is influenced and the fall is not a bad one.

[@armandoarrojo9841]

The Fall is literally one of the best bands of all time.

[@sirhenners204]

I’d say this band are The Fall + Throbbing Gristle but in the best way possible

[@scipio123]

He's totally influenced by Mark E but unlike some singers (guy from Ought being maybe the most egregious example) he's not slavishly aping his inflections and can scream in a way that is very much not in the style of Mark E Smith...plus his lyrics are great! This band is great!

[@communistwood]

Ya I was just thinking the exact same thing holy shit!

[@lucaslock]

insane

[@Magitek85]

Is it too late for Ricki Lake?

[@apothecurio]

just noticed that shoulderblades has a goddamn blipping infrasound thing going on with it. Just to make it more intense and stress inducing.

[@filippowiw]

one of the sickest show of LGW19

[@BoomKing72]

LCD Soundsystem on Benadryl

[@AbrahamOfWorms]

Perfect lol

[@Nearthebanks]

Anyone know what effects are on his vocals?

[@odysseychl4925]

Talent

[@heleneleroch4517]

Psychiatric disorder

[@PhilippWolgast]

fuckin good crowd too.

[@hlp1484]

All i can think about, during Shoulderblades, is that this vocalist is like the singer of LCD Soundsystem with the style & intensity of Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins.

[@communistwood]

He is exactly like Mark e Smith from the fall

[@Sam-dm8vh]

FUCKEN AMAZING!!!!

[@jorgeenriquez7017]

Fuck, I would love to see them in México

[@nightwand1742]

WHAT SYMBOL IS THE DRUMMER USING 6:20????? I NEED TO KNOW

[@mikeyseney6570]

Metal trash can lid, literally

[@apothecurio]

Stacked broken cymbals

[@rederickfroders1978]

This band is fucking awesome, but I just hope it doesnt become another joy division. I hope youre alright Dara Edit: Seriously underrated

[@lorarena]

god damm

[@KennToomey]

The guitar player sets up his rig sideways-- Like a P.A. side fill. Nice.

It's good when you have Ólafur Arnalds on the guitar in your band

[@adexter3434]

You can hear stress in Dara Keily's voice. Is slowly destroying his vocal chords in these intense songs?. Poor guy, maybe it would be good for the band to take another break...

[@nightmare-nightmarenightma1147]

Yeah, I bet it's gonna be a couple of years for the next record. With all the touring they're doing, I'm sure it took a toll on his vocal chords.

[@MrQuimDosMontes]

dude got fat too, hope everything's fine

[@lukeberrie3942]

TheJ&A I think his current appearance really goes with the kind of music the band makes

[@spitgorge2021]

@@MrQuimDosMontes idk about fat. just a little fluffy, and that's alright. hope it's not due to anything mentally though

[@westernhemlock]

@@spitgorge2021 I read a post-hiatus interview where Dara Kiely talks a bit about being bipolar. It’s common for people to puff up a bit once they’ve started taking bipolar meds

[@rbarnett3200]

A couple of things to say. Firstly, this band is fucking awesome. I'm pretty sure it's the guitarist's band, as in he writes the music. The only other thing is, and...this is awkward...It's difficult to say without exposing people I know, but the lead singer has an alcohol issue. This is probably self-evident to most people who have followed this band...but...erm, please seek help. Your band is ace, your music is ace

[@XxidiotXxBosses]

damn, how do you know he has this said issue?

[@RalphLindsen]

@@XxidiotXxBosses It's not a secret the singer struggles. Multiple tours got cancelled because of mental issues. Unfortunately the sound of the band fits with his reality.

[@yasiryamin9561]

@@RalphLindsen true. this band strives through mental illness. even their music is considered about mental illness. they literally have a track of dara breathing heavily through his panic attack. for those who had watched them live are lucky. but at the same time the fans understood very well about their situation and if any shows were cancelled it would most likely end up like "really? its cancelled? oh shoot its okay. maybe next time theyll do it"

[@arch_dornan6066]

​@@yasiryamin9561 What song???

[@dolfunluvrXXL]

Prolix. He seems to be much better now. Constant tour dates and even lyrics about “those times” on the newer album

[@cijntjekid]

This type of music used to be way better in the 90's. All hese bands play the same drumbeat while the guitar makes lame noises. The birthday party and Bauhaus did this 100x better in the 80's

[@francoisjoly7696]

It was better before... bla bla bla... sorry but this is the kind of discourse I cannot stand. Comparing and judging all the time, Yes: the Birthday Party was intense, Bauhaus subtile, what about The Fall which is one of there "references" for people who like to compare to reassure themselves... anyways... forget it, they are different and fuckin' good in what they're doing... and ... AND... they are so fuckin' unique amongst the rock landscapes we have now.

That’s not even a good comparison lol
