Last week I saw Explosions In The Sky at The Sage in Gateshead. I particularly like this venue as acoustics are superb and this really enhanced the sonic, roller coaster ride that is this great band. They came on stage said "Hello" and then they were off, not another word for an hour + of music that ebbed and flowed , that took you up and down with delicate melodies and riffs that hit you hard. Can’t recommend them enough.
Support was by locals Lanterns On The Lake. Very good, reminiscent of This Mortal coil and Cocteau Twins and Cloud Cult and lots of other alternative roots, folksy bands.
I came home and logged onto Emusic and downloaded both bands' latest albums. That’s a recommendation for you all to do the same.
