Collected Animals

Those are next-level incredible!

I NEEEEEEEEEDDDDDD ITTTTTTTTT !!!!!

Woah those things are huge. It's pretty easy to get a judge on the size of them when you realize the background is the surface of the moon

LOL

poster $20 shipping $20k

Hey all - I have a ticket to the 7/20 NYC show, and as much as it kills me, I am going to be OUT OF THE COUNTRY when it happens. Would love to sell it to someone on this board instead of some rando on the internet - message me if you're interested!

Anyone selling Chicago tickets? I could use one or two!

So thrilled for this tour!
My mind is gonna expand to another consciousness (No drugs involved) during the concert, can't wait my body is aching.
Was travelling in Berlin 10 something years ago and found out they were playing whilst i was there. Went to the concert place with no ticket in hopes of coming in by paying at the doors with no luck, just stood there with my Sung Tongs CD (Was gonna ask for signing it).


Can't wait to see their setlist tomorrow, any of you guys caring enough to write the setlist in here?

Seeing them on friday in Copenhagen, anyone else going?

I’ll post the set list after the show as soon as I have wi-fi

Set list

Set list

Spoiler: show

Long song was an improvised intro to Leaf House I believe. Then yeah they played it in order followed by Dont Believe the Pilot and I Remember Learning How to Dive. Prospect Hummer encore

Oh man! How was their singing?

How long was the gig?

what the fuck ?? the house lights came on and they started playing the PA ??

lol this is very annoying!! ah well

I haven't been on Collected Animals in ages (at least a year) but I just wanted to say that the performance was amazing.

Also, I put the setlist up on setlist.fm

Spoiler: show

Just an estimate but I think the intro song was Tuvin. What they played live sounded very very similar to that

o shit

what the fuck ?? the house lights came on and they started playing the PA ??

Oof! Sorry, yeah I’m genuinely surprised they did an encore because what I said in the last post and it was a BAD audience (they have said shows in London are tough audience-wise). People were audibly chattering during their last songs it sounded like a damn cafeteria.

Small group of us hung outside after the show, only Avey came out but he had a totally calming cool energy I almost left before he came out. I asked him some questions and felt like Chris Farley from that SNL sketch (“remember the Beatles?”). But he did a doodle for me that I might give my brother for a tattoo

Covered in Frogs present?

Yes sorry I considered it part of winters love

They only did one song for the Pitchfork encore right? So like three more songs than that I think

wooow yall cant just say they did tuvin like thats nothing WE NEED A VID !!

The setlist from AudibleKayak is right. The concert was 90 minutes including the 2 encores.
I didn't recognized Tuvin at the moment but now listening to old recordings it was definitively it. Pitty I didn't record it!

I would exactly say the opposite about the audience. I was in 7th-8th row in the front area and there was a reverent silence and everybody was 100% focus on the songs. I didn't heard no chatter during the whole performance, maybe it was around your location.

People sung some lyrics during the whole concert, claps in Sweet Road, ... but in general we barely got any shouting during the songs (which I found really annoying). So I wouldn't say that the audience was bad, but simply more polite.

Compared with the Pitchfork recording I think the audio, at least from my place was a bit muddy and not very clear, specially in the vocals. But it was a minor thing. Other than that it was a perfect experience. I wish they would go back to that sound in next songs.

whoa, i was not expecting tuvin. 2003 vibes

prospect hummer

e: also super annoying that apparently fake concert bootlegs are a new kind of youtube spam

how about those posters? look as good in person? are they really big?

They’re huge, like as big as a torso about

Hi guys, been sleeping on this site since forever, but was there in London and thought I'd share my thoughts. Firstly, it was worth the (rather steep if I may say so) price of entry alone to see covered in frogs live. Watching the other music footage of AT and PB doing that jam on youtube was the thing that got me totally hooked on AC, and it was a dream come true to see it in the flesh. I realised that I don't really know all the lyrics to any song on ST, but I do know every word of Frogs!

At the same time, IMHO it's clear that some of those songs were never meant to be played live. I think they really struggled through the softest voice and above all visiting friends, which is all about mood and atmosphere, something really hard to create on a massive stage through a powerful PA, with 1000 people watching. Also despite being an 'acoustic' album, the sound world of sung tongs is quite rich with samples etc, and I think they seemed really exposed just switching between those two chords.

Ultimately though, the sound world of that period, best captured on the breezeblock sessions, the other music bootleg and perhaps above all the 15 minute+ Always you recorded for resonance, rather than on the album itself-the droning open tuned chords and the vocals alternating between ethereal hums and frantic yelps- is one I was very happy to immerse myself in, and one I'll always want to go back to.

Though, as a final thought, I would kind of like it if this was the last we heard of AC as a band, at least for a while. However I'd also take a feels tour with the -in my opinion definitive- line up of Panda, Avey, and Deakin, as seen on the old market brighton video (sorry Geo!)

Haha wtf

I went to the Amsterdam gig yesterday, it was goooood. Seems like they played the same setlist as in London, just switched the order of the songs in the encore (started the encore with Prospect Hummer). The crowd was pretty boring though, but not a lot of talking, so I'm happy anyways.

Also despite being an 'acoustic' album, the sound world of sung tongs is quite rich with samples etc, and I think they seemed really exposed just switching between those two chords.

I obviously wasn't at the London gig, but in Amsterdam, I thought they did an awesome job in translating the sounds from the album with their voices, samples, etc. Didn't get the feeling that they were "exposed" in any way.

I agree with most songs, especially Rabbit and Softest Voice, they did a great job of recreating some of those sounds using really basic effects, which was a lovely touch. But in London, I could feel them losing the crowd during Visiting Friends. It just didn't fit the mood at all. Especially after Kids on Holiday, which was just amazing.

All well and good coming in here now sharing your insights and reflec-WHERE'S THE DAMN BOOTLEGS

why would anyone ever say this

Not sure which bit you find so shocking tbh, but happy to explain. The bit about AC giving it a rest I think is obvious. The fact that that they've finally toured an old album may be a sign. And I'm saying this as someone who loved 95% of the gig.

The bit about deak, pb and at is because I think the best live footage I've ever seen of AC playing is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lws6P53wVo

Cheers!

just find it beyond strange that someone on their fan forum wishes the band would stop playing and making music together

also don't get how Avey, Panda, and Deakin could ever be a "definitive" lineup

At the same time, IMHO it's clear that some of those songs were never meant to be played live. I think they really struggled through the softest voice and above all visiting friends

not to join the piling on, but there's three 2003 bootlegs apiece for both of those songs. college probably has the best case for this argument, but even it got played live at least once before the album came out

so many what the fucks

Visiting Friends was easily the best part of their first Sung Tongs show back in december

^yup, tho I'm biased cuz it's my favorite AC song

My main thing is that I always view AC live versions and studio versions as two separate and different things. I also love the production and layering on studio ST but the more bare-bones live versions are great in their own way

Super psyched that they're bringing out the deep cuts. I wonder how the show will transform over time since I'll be seeing them 6 weeks from now, maybe by then there'll be more jams and transitions and shit, but no matter what I'm psyched

Gonna be my 5th AC show in under a year lol

Damn! Got me beat friend! I thought 5 times in two years was a lot. Good on ya
