Heartland

Now that's a real treat, watching within 10 days two of my 3 most favourite bands.

The band are almost at the end of their tour to promote their new awesome album " between dog and wolf" which imho is their finest work since "love for the hopeless causes". If you haven't heard it you should give it a try.

On stage they are as good as they always were , full of passion and always enjoying playing live, which is a real achievement as Athens was the 37th gig of the tour and there some dates in Ireland and the uk still left.
Awesome versions of old classics like "here comes the war" and "no rest" which was truly breathtaking, but also the newer ones like "stormclouds" with its thunderous drumming and the acoustic "knievel".

The gig ended with "Green and Grey" amongst a massive applause and cheering.

NMA are on top form so if you have the chance, don't miss them.

ps: i must mention their drummer Michael Dean, a truly awesome musician.

I agree with everything you say.

I saw them in Krakow and then 3 more times in England and they were excellent. Their new album is their best yet and sounds brilliant live.

I would like to be able to go too but for reasons that only to *Slightly Depressed* Topic can be written, i wasn't there

At least you have had a good concert

hopng to do the "near-traditional" christmas rock city gig in nottingham...caught last years and it was probably the best i have seen them since the brixton academy in 1990.

he needed to be to (adequately) replace the mighty Rob Heaton (R.I.P.).

Will be going to Cologne as in previous years and really looking forward to it

Last year was fantastic, not only NMA but also German punk institution Slime as brillant support band

I love NMA. Unfortunately due to the economy I have been unable to catch their tour this year.

The new album is different - more drum, than guitar based than before. It has good tracks, but I'm not sure if it hangs together as a whole - I found my attention wandering at some point.

Anyway, NMA are a good live band, and I'm sure folk will enjoy them.

I'll be at Rock City,then up early on Sunday morning for the trip to Leeds for the first of three Mish/Neffs gigs I'm doing.

I have loved Slime since spending my summers hanging out in Germany, drinking way too much

BTW,
I have never seen a bad NMA show, even if some of their records have not hit the spot with me.
