The above sentence sums up this festival slot now from January 2006 in the Netherlands very accurately. From listening to this, you'll more than likely experience some strange echoes of another festival show that turned into an ordeal; Lowlands 2005. As with that concert the band found themselves going to war with their instruments while simultaneously having to entertain a crowd, the majority of whom were probably unfamiliar with their work. Consequently there are lengthy gaps between songs and apologies from Tom for a series of perceived infractions, be it an out of tune keyboard on Camera or a complete lack of guitars at the beginning of FYASP. Looking back on this you could say that it's this sort of adversity that really makes a band, and tests their resolve and ability to navigate out of a tough spot. At the time, however, I don't imagine it was anything other than frustrating and stressful. Enjoy the struggle ;)
