Mogwai back in May

Catching up... Mogwai came to Detroit to play at St. Andrew's Hall on May 18. The Earl of Bandwidth and I promptly sallied to their performance from Ann Arbor, since I hadn't yet moved to Detroit.

St. Andrew's Hall is a former church in downtown Detroit. To indicate that the edifice now exists for musical congregations, a disco ball hangs from the ceiling. The building is a large rectangle replete with a modest second floor balcony spanning three sides. The second floor balcony offered a lovely view to complement the mathematical psychadelic atmospheric sounds of Mogwai:


The lads all came out in green adidas warm-up jackets.


They quickly shed the jackets upon evaluating the temperature and ventilation in the packed house.


A capacity or near capacity crown of nearly-motionless indie-rockers are illuminated by Mogwai's elaborate lighting system.
