Neno Belan & Accenture & guests - Nov 13, Chicago, Culture Factory

Should we ask those guys from the swamp to move Mogwai to midnight or just have them start playing around 7 PM? 🤷 But if we’re heading from Mogwai over to Neno Belan, I’ll need to drive, which means staying dry—and there is no way I'm showing up to Neno Belan Nen sober.

Exactly. A factory wouldn't dream of producing something that horrific... 🙏 🙏 🙏

cruel death -> 🙂 <- factory management

Samuel Murphy6 said:First things first, we gotta figure out when they're actually playing "The Sun Smells Too Loud." 🙈
If they don't play, then who cares? Honestly, it’s not that deep. 🙂 Hey, that guy from just above...

I mean, let’s be real—they seriously never actually play them. Like, ever.🤷

Drew Adams58, look, I already said "well, maybe" 🙂 because I know exactly what you're getting at here 🙂

But I never actually claimed the last one was basically sold out; it’s more like the guy 😁 along with some insider info 🤷 just

I mean, do you actually get why they don't? 🤷

I'm gonna go hunt down all their setlists 🙂

I don't really get it🤷
considering it’s easily their best track from the last two albums combined🤷
maybe it’s just too upbeat? Like, they can't pull it off live because it doesn't fit the whole vibe of the show🤷

No need to go digging for proof, either. Someone actually put together a stat breakdown recently showing how much they played certain songs during their tours over the last couple of years... and this specific track hasn't shown up on a single setlist once🤷

Here you go, I dug them all up.

This is what they were playing back in 2008:

Aaaaaaaah! 🙂 👋 🙂

Only, I’d go as far as saying it’s an all-time classic 🙂

Finding two brothers in a single week... who knows where this is heading? 🙏

I honestly think it’s about time we stop giving so much airtime to such an inferior band on this thread ☕
just let them fade away 👋

How many times has Neno Belan played "Girl from the South" over the last year? 🤷

every single😬
time

The factory isn't even running the concert.

Honey, I only just saw this. Of course you won't, so Samuel Murphy6 will just cover the Uber. It's fine. 🙂

Assuming I even end up going to Mogwai—because my faith in that actually seems to be dwindling by the day—I'll offer my little contribution in the form of a retrospective:

acid food (0)
travel is dangerous (0)
i chose horses () (0)
sine wave (0)

And we all know that history is supposed to be life's greatest teacher, right? 😢

to hell with Friend of the Night

The word is out on the street. And honestly? The streets have already spoken.

🤔
Look, I get it, you clearly think you're the savior of this entire thread, but there’s a point where even being right becomes a bit much 🙂

Don't take this the wrong way.

How much are tickets going for, and is there any way to grab some if they haven't sold out yet?

Factory, $23.

Whoa, awesome 👋 😁

- now I seriously need to find someone to grab my tickets before I head into NYC 🙂
