Mogwai aid charity drive in Stereo

Rock Action on a Sunday night

When it comes to liking a band, the music is the most important thing about them but other factors can come into it as well. Knowing that a band is full of folk that appear to be quite decent or use their level of fame or awareness to aid certain causes can really add to the positive feeling you have towards a band.

Mogwai tick all of these boxes.

Announcing a gig in Glasgow Stereo was enough reason to get excited but the fact that the proceeds from the night were going to the Lanarkshire Cancer Trust and to aid the victims of the floods in Pakistan made it an unmissable evening.

It’s not very often you get to see a band of Mogwai’s stature in a venue like Stereo anymore and it wasn’t an ordinary or straightforward gig for the band either. New material and old favourites mixed together well and even though it was a Sunday night and pretty much midnight when the gig ended, you would have been delighted with another hour or so of material!

We’re pretty much going to let the music do the talking from here but it was a fantastic gig by a terrific band for 2 great causes – what else do you need to know?

With a UK tour in February 2011, you’ll get a chance to see Mogwai again before too long but those who caught the Stereo gig should be satisfied for now…
