Mogwai

On March 14, 2006, I got to see Mogwai for the second time, this time at Houston's infamous Number's Night Club. It was worth the wait. Me and Ruby got to the club when the second opening band was playing, they weren't all the special to me. They were more of a metal type band, which seemed a little strange to me for a band opening up for Mogwai. Me and Ruby decided to go chill out in the "back area" bar that sits in a seperate room, and we were lucky to find a place to sit..especially Ruby, being that she is pregnant! We waited until the second band finish to go move out in the smokey, packed crowd. There we met up with Richard and a friend of his, in which I don't remember her name, and we tried to find a good spot to park for the night. After finding a good place at that "bleacher" type area we were set! Actually it took Mogwai a good thirty to forty minutes to come out, but when they did, the crowd lit up! They played about a hour and forty-five minute set. It was a nice, nice set. I couldn't tell you what songs they played because I don't know the names of their tracks, but it was good. Must have been a mix of newer stuff from their recently release "Mr. Beast" because I didn't recongize most of them. But it was good. I recongized a few tracks off their last effort, but not much else was familiar to me. The sound at Number's that night was very, very nice. It had to be one of the nicest sound jobs that I have heard there, not the the sound is ever terrible, but still. One thing too, was that they didn't get really crazy, or as loud as I have heard them previously. The last song did get a little loud as they let the guitars ring out with the distortion and all that. It was just good to see, in a club like Number's! Won't be forgetting this show anytime soon. I am glad that I got to go.
