I saw them at a small arena (seats somewhere over 10 000), and they were
really good. The arena had good sound, was brand new...anyways, get ready
for a great concert. If you're gonna be up the front be prepared, you'll be
exhausted if they do a 3 + hour set, which they have been doing.

Yeah, I can't see it going down well under those circumstances - they
don't seem that kind of band. Small venue they were tight, exciting and
sounded brilliant. I can see how all those subtle layers of noise might
just meld into a mess in a large venue.

And being instrumental as well won't help.

They are a band i might have liked under other circumstances, but at
Bercy the crowd were serioiusly underwhelmed and their music seemed just
too much like a wall of noise being played while latecomers found their
seats.
