So I saw Saint Etienne in Seattle last night - and they were utterly Amazing! The setlist was a fantastic combination from their vast catalogue - 17 songs and two encores! The sound was flawless and they had background visuals as well. Here's a peak at the setlist:
At one point early in the evening Pete Wiggs came out to chat with one of the opening acts - Beat Connection - and I seized the opportunity to ask him if he would sign a couple cd's that I brought with me. Not only did he sign them, but he said that Sarah and Pete hadn't arrived yet so he would hang on to them to get them to sign it as well - then he later returned them to one of their crew who was working the merch table who then hand delivered them to me at the front row! How incredible is that?
Here are a few photos from the show:
As an added bonus the band were selling a new U.S. double disc version of 'Words And Music By...' on this tour - and it's completely different from the U.K. double disc version! The U.K. version features twelve remixes, while the second U.S. bonus disc called 'More Words And Music' features ten new songs! I listened to it a few times on the long drive home to Vancouver and I've chosen my two favourite tracks so far to post today.
First up is the first track on the 'More Words And Music' disc called 'Solid Gold' - a post break-up song about being strong and moving on... Enjoy!
'Landscape' is the fifth track on 'More Words And Music' - a largely instrumental Kraftwerk-y atmospheric tune that is well suited to travelling - for real or just in your mind... Enjoy!
