To be honest, I was a little disappointed with the set last night, which breaks my heart to say. Here's the set...
The Silver Cord
Extinction
Gondii
Supercell
Organ Farmer
Dragon
Flamethrower
Ice V
Hypertension
Evil Death Roll
Work This Time
Pleura
Billabong Valley
They started the set with 'The Table', playing songs from their latest record. I don't mind The Silver Cord, but in general it's not my type of music, and for me personally (although it translates better live) it doesn't get my blood pumping. The first two songs probably lasted over 20 minutes, and even though it was great to see the band (especially Stu) vibing, I was kinda waiting for them to get to the meat of the set.
Gondii was played more in the style of The Silver Cord, and was actually pretty cool. From here they went straight into the metal portion of the set. It got the crowd moving, and Dragon/Flamethrower was particularly awesome to see. I always find it weird that even though metal is mainly what I listen to, I'm not overly fussed on Gizz metal songs.
The absolute highlights for me was Ice V into Hypertension. These songs are just the sort of Gizz I like to experience live. They are funky and just get me moving. Hypertension especially, I felt my body taken over by the urge to just move. These two songs were a good half an hour of just what I wanted.
Next up was Evil Death Roll, which was really cool. I was hoping they'd go into something else from Nonagon Infinity, or the I'm In Your Mind Fuzz suite, but alas. I quite like Work This Time, and way more Live, compared to the studio version.
Last was the two microtonal songs. When I saw the 'flying microtonal banana' come out I was hoping for a Rattlesnake close. I felt ending on Pleura and Billabong Valley was a bit of an anticlimax, but I am kinda lukewarm on their microtonal stuff.
All in all, I still had a blast, and they played solidly for 2 hours, so I can't complain. The set could've been a little more suited to my tastes, but that's the beauty of a Gizz gig I guess.
