Gig Review - "Tales of Us" Premiere, Manchester 17th July 2013
  • Hi everyone,

    Long term Goldfrapp fan but first time poster here - met a few people from the forum last night so thought I'd pop along!

    I've spent my morning (post-bacon sandwich) doing a review of last night's gig, which you can read here if you fancy it. There are also a few rubbish iPhone photos.

    Cheers!

  • Great review!
    Very informative and fun.

  •  Hi James. Welcome back! Great review mate, & it was a pleasure talking to you about our shared (& perfectly natural) obsession with Goldfrapp, but also the ponderings & merits of Phil Collins & his roller coaster career. Can't believe we didn't actually touch on Brand X! Keep up the good work :-)

  • great review James! perfectly captured :)
    "its MY favourite song"
  • Ha, well there are those Brand X albums, of course. And his Big Band... I really do know too much about Phil Collins.

    Ooh, also - if John who I was chatting to happens to read this, then I completely lost your email address as my gmail app crashed. Feel free to get in touch! :)

    thank you, i enjoyed reading that! how cool was lovely head?! it sounded soooo good! and alison had the perfect amount of drama about her when performing it, fantastic!

  • This is my own personal review of the first night, the album and the general buzz surrounding everything. It's written for a large American audience, so it's kind of entry level Frappness. 

    I've included the video for Drew, some of my own artwork and an audio grab of Stranger. One of the pics is from this forum and I need a credit for it (anyone?)

    Good review, and nice pictures.
    I thought Simone was "a wicked daughter, caught in bed with her mother's lover".
