@robinrimbaud I saw/heard/felt them supporting SWANS before the name change I think (Astoria 2?). That was a full-on audio assault.

@guydenning Yes that was an amazing show! Swans farewell show with a naked Michael Gira as the final encore!

@robinrimbaud I was lucky enough to catch them at the Lemon Tree (Aberdeen) as part of the Triptych festival 2004 - absolutely mesmerising with just that single oscilloscope as a visual. amazing. RIP Mika.

@robinrimbaud That first album, amazing little boxed set. Minimal cover, maximal soundscape

@robinrimbaud I was lucky enough to see Pan Sonic in my home town in Italy, somewhere around 2000 I think, and then Mika solo in Flow Festival in Helsinki, few years later. The latter was played in a small room, where everyone packed to see the 'famous Finn known abroad'. He went on stage ⬇️
