Errors

Earlier this week I went to see 65Days Of Static with friends. 65DOS were on top form as per usual but we've covered them before on here so in this entry i'm going to focus on Errors, the main support for 65DOS.

Glasgow's Errors, signed to the Mogwai owned label Rock Action are one of those bands I'd heard little bits of before this gig, I think i'd also seen one of their video's on MTV 2's '120 Minutes' program and although I thought those bits and pieces were good, they had never really grabbed my attentsion long enough for a proper listen. Tonight however, I had 30 minutes to get properly acquainted with the band.

Watching a very nervous looking band enter the stage for the first time I could almost feel a let down coming on, and they got off to a shakey start of fuzzy electronic noises mixed with what can only be described as half-arsed psuedo-post rock noodling's, I was almost ready to retire to the bar three minutes into their set.

However, i'm glad I stuck with it because however shakey the opening track was the rest of the set did not disapoint whatsoever. If I had to compare them to other bands I would say Errors are like a combination of The Field (check out From Here We Go Sublime, on Kompakt Records) with their warm and emotive electronica mixed with equal parts of Mogwai-esque post rock and The Faint's electroclash noise. One thing I do have a gripe about though is that Errors tracks just don't seem long enough; just as I was starting to find my groove with some of the tracks played later in their set they finished. It was a real shame.
