I was there last night too. It was as second last song.

Have to say, the stuff off Screen Violence by miles sounded best, especially , but both and utterly slapped too.

Sorry to interrupt the Chuvurches chat, but I hadn’t seen this thread before, and wanted to get in on it.

I decided to do this slightly differently. My favourite band, as I’m sure most of you know by now, is Radiohead, who simply have too many good songs for me to whittle down into a set list. Besides which, I’ve seen them too many times now and am too much of a Radiohead nerd not to fill the list with songs I love that I’ve never seen live (Electioneering, finally your time to shine). Instead, I’m going for my favourite band from when I was a teenager who I never saw live. Nirvana.

Track order, aside from the first and last of the main set and the encore could be shifted around, there are probably one or two tracks on there that could have been replaced by one or two others if I’d done this on a different day as well.

1. Serve the Servants
2. Breed
3. Polly
4. School
5. Very Ape
6. Pennyroyal Tea
7. Stay Away
8. Aneurysm
9. Come As You Are
10. Rape Me
11. Lithium
12. All Apologies

Encore:

1. Heart Shaped Box
2. You Know You’re Right
3. Smells Like Teen Spirit

Feck, were you near the merch stall with a mate at the end? I thought I saw someone who looked a bit like you but taller than I remembered. I wrote it off as just having you in my head because you got me into them.

You know this, I thought it was that track, because I could picture her singing that with her encore make-up on but, given how my brain works, I could picture her singing any of the songs in any of the outfits if I put my mind to it. Thanks for clarifying, and thanks for the set-list.

I agree that the Screen Violence stuff sounded best, I was just delighted to get some of the older stuff mixed in.

Did you see the support act? I thought the front man was a bit of a tool, but I liked their music. I was getting New Order vibes, especially from their opening track. They’ve got an EP on Apple Music, I’ll give it a few listens.

I realise I’m just old, but my only gripe from last night was how frequently I was having to look through a sea of mobile phone screens to see the band members.

All I could see on the support act was a wall of abs under a vest and a band that resembled early 00s Interpol / New Order / Editors et Al. They were called High-school and from Melbourne and were entirely inoffensive.

Also the blood stained encore was spectacular.

That’s definitely one of the songs that could have been switched in had I made it on a different day.
