Silver Mt Zion at the Art School

Published by Dougal at 6:42 pm under Gig, Music, Reviews

On Friday I sped through to Glasgow with my green jumper to meet Helen and see Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra play at the art school venue.

Efrim was quite talkative — and Glasgow was naturally talkative back — and he even told us exactly what they were going to play before each piece. Nice! Of course that doesn’t mean I can remember everything they did. I guess:

  • I Built Myself a Metal Bird, I Fed My Metal Bird the Wings of Other Metal Birds
  • God Bless Our Dead Marines
  • 1,000,000 Died to Make This Sound
  • ‘Piphany Rambler
  • There is a Light
  • 13 Blues for Thirteen Moons

The ordering is probably not right but that’s how it felt at the time. I enjoyed it all, though I wish I’d been more conscientious about listening to the new album before we went.

There were a lot of big cameras in the audience, including one guy about two rows in front of me who basically spent the whole gig shooting. From the position he was standing, I think it’s this fellow here.
