Edinburgh Festival Gigs: Animal Hospital @ Sneaky Pete's 2010/08/12

This should have been posted a while ago, but it's been a busy week, what with all-day afterparties, getting a job, and moving house and such!

Animal Hospital was fucking awesome, as always. Every second Thursday of the month at Sneaky Pete's.

Nick Dow was first up when I arrived. This guy blew everyone away with his own material. This guy's doing really well, and I wanna hear more from him! Eerie minimal soundscapes with pleasant clicks n pops. Have a listen on his Myspace.

Course, coz it's festy time, the place was bangin' till 5am! The residents impressed as usual, and there was another guest pumping out the silky tunes too. I think I caught his name but was too busy dancing to remember.

After a bit of sit-down sitar + beatbox fun while waiting for a taxi, the afterparty got underway, and did it go on its merry way! 20 hours later still spangled. The peak moment was probably sometime just before noon Friday when this balkan banger hit the deck.

And this wasn't actually played ("because it's hard to mix"), but I was pointed in the direction of this filthy obscene pounder. Makes me wanna run things over.

This nite I also met a guy who has a radio gig in the borders playing whatever alternative tracks take his fancy. These days he seems to fancy glitchy stuff and folktronica. Have a listen to the Dinner and Bass show on Soundcloud! As I write, on the second hour of the first show is available; Soundcloud might be having issues, because this guy has 2 public tracks but only 1 is visible.
