Oh What a night!!!
03. 11. 08
Oh what fun we had and really quite remarkable that even despite the terrible weather the show was a total sell out, with over 1200 people in attendance, all the bands were amazing especially the mighty Shellac - Bob, Steve and Todd how we love you so.

and the highlight of the night for us was when Sara (our latest Capsule Granny) was asked by Steve to have her photo taken with him, separated at birth!!!
* On a more solemn note - Capsule acknowledge that there were problems with the venue in terms of the bar and toilets, and although we have little control over these areas as they are run by the venue itself, we continue to urge them to improve on these matters. Despite this we hope that the event itself was of the highest quality, we appreciate your continued support.

November 3rd, 2008 at 5:15 pmWas a great night, hope ya didn’t get to many moans about the bar and the loo’s, yes they could be a lot better - but hell there are places that charge a lot more for rubbish entertainment and get away with facilaties that are worse.
Sure as hell, didn’t get in the way of my enjoyment - how wonderful were OM? and I’m a Shellac convert after that, actually all the bands were great!

November 5th, 2008 at 10:03 pmPissed Jeans were terrifying. The frontman seemed to be getting smaller and smaller, and just when you thought he was going to disappear he suddenly exploded into an oversized screaming toddler. Holding the mic with his foot and gyrating wildly also ensured everybody in the crowd winced.
Wooden Shjips were (for lack of a better term) ‘groovy’ and Om were quite frankly cosmic. The guitarist seemed to like saying Antideluvian Seas a lot.
Absolutely fantastic! I left the gig grinning like a complete tit. Kudos to the Grannies for getting Shellac to come and play in Birmingham. It was a real treat. Now, hows about geting them back for Supersonic 2009?
