I went to see Mindless Self Indulgence about 5 years ago.
It was great until the point where Jimmy Urine produced a fuckload of calpol and proceeded to fling it all over the crowd.*

I don't remember much after everyone turning into a turnip.


*Everything up to this point is true

They tend to be rubbish live
Seen them three times, and only once was the sound quality bearable.

Yeah, I'd have to agree with that. I was a bit disappointed.
To add insult to injury, this was the If tour. Worst album they've done.

Worst album they've ever done?
Have you heard the latest one?

Apart from two or three good tracks (notably Kill You All In A Hip-Hop Rage, it's far worse.

But I'd have to say You'll Rebel To Anything is utter genius. I bought it on CD off the internet, and the day it came I listened to it about eight times in a row, my beer-fuelled grin fuelled further each time.

EDIT: Listening to the track I linked, I think half the reason I like it is that the keyboardy bits sound a bit like Nine Inch Nails. Well that and the insulting of songs about being in the club, which have been a cancer on music for the best part of a decade.

EDIT EDIT: It was on the If tour that they managed to sound good. It was part of a Kerrang! tour that included five bands, with MSI headlining. Three of the bands were forgettable and had swoopy haircuts, and the fourth was Bring Me The Horizon. Their frontman is the cuntiest bastard I have ever seen allowed on stage. Can't fucking stand them. But I assume the sound was set up for MSI (by people who knew what they were doing), and it sounded very good.
