Great!

I SEEEEE YOOOOUUUUU!

I’ll try to limit the setlist spoilers for those bothered by that.

I jumped at the opportunity to catch the recent shows in Melbourne and Frankston. I’ve backed up festival sets and headline sets, but never had two shows within a couple of hours of where I live before.

They sprinkled in some new tunes, but missed my two favourites from the new album, as well as another I’d probably consider in my top-5. Nothing from Flash Flood - my favourite album.

None of that mattered. A sprinkling of pre-Spark songs was a delight, but every song just hit whether old or new. Being in a crowd with other fans of the band remains one of the most unifying gig experiences I’ve had. The lads looked like they’re having fun up there and still have the chemistry and the energy that has consistently seen them considered as one of the best live bands in the scene.

I feel for the North American fans who’ve had the recent tour cancelled and hope you get a chance to catch these shows in the near future.

Just got refunded. Absolutely gutted. I was looking forward to that show more than I realized.

Up votes if you’d like to hear “when a jealous man finds a gun”, “Bearer of Bad News”, “ We Can Breather in Space”…. Prime ES imo is 2006/07 demos and take to the skies. Is this a niche or what? Interested to hear opinions

Just curious why ES decided to leave out lyrics on Spotify? On Apple Music they're available. What do you think is the reason for this odd move?

Feels like there were many opportunities missed to add in some unclean vocals with the instrumentally heavy parts of Lose Your Self. Missing AFFOC with occasional heavy vocals from both Rou and Chris. Was hoping after AKFTWW they’d add some heavy bits in here and there. Don’t get me wrong I still love the new album, just venting lol. Would’ve been nice if we got that feature with Sam

Did anyone else see the Boston Manor post and feel a bit sad about how it was worded. Can’t imagine it’s been an easy decision but not sure that would have made them feel any better about it ? Maybe am just being to over protective 🙈

Hey ES fam,

I went to the Adelaide show last night but got there late and they were out of stubby holders! If anyone is heading to a show this tour and can help a fellow Shikari fan out, send me a message please!

Longest of long shots, but if you were the guy carrying two drinks halfway through the Grandson set that overheard me and my friend say "Of course a room full of neurospicy people echoes back weird noises" and then you screamed at me and I screamed back.. hit me up. I need more weird gig friends 🤣

Just saw the boys on day 1 of the tour. Setlist was pretty good including an absolutely wild remix of quelle surprise. Eastern states are in for a treat!

i was just listening to their first album and comparing it to their latest work, and it's crazy how much their sound has evolved over the years. from the post-hardcore roots in 'take to the skies' to the more electronic and experimental vibes in 'nottingham' and 'nothing is true everything is possible', it's like they refuse to be put in a box. i think that's part of what makes them so special they challenge the boundaries of music genres. anyone else feel the same way? what are your favorite tracks from their journey?

Title asks it all. Does anyone have any info?

I planned my honeymoon in Japan this year, and I hoped the fuck off my guts that maybe they will have a gig in Tokyo this year and guess what? They will

But a month earlier than I will attend

I fuckin thought I will see the guys for the first time in like 7 years and their fuckin dates are just a month earlier than I planned

What a fuckin coincidence

I mailed them through every known channel and they won't answer

This is some joke, I'm up to organise their gig at mt city but it seems that they're not interested, and therefore I have to bear the unattendence for 7 and more fuckin years

If Reddit has some power of an influence - guys help me get my favourite band to come to my city

I'm a fan, and Russia is still one of the best audiences, and we still are waiting for the guys to come

I'd thank every one of you involved personally

It will be so much historical that this will be a part of a bootleg series
