Mammal @ Rare Records (2008-08-30)

This was an instore performance of the new Mammal album The Majority. Only people who pre-ordered the CD were allowed entry. There was about 70 people there. They played the new album front to back and even though I’d had it a few days and listened to it over a dozen times some of the new songs still took me by surprise. My favorite being Living In Sin whcih I think translates perfectly live. Clear Enough? is always a favorite too and surprisingly I really dug Burn Out at this show where as I’d normally dismiss it.
Zero Infinity was not played by the band; but over the house PA system instead.
That said it was both really nice and weird seeing Mammal at such an intimate gig... and during daylight hours too.

I recorded this kind of haphazardly as I was too conscious about being caught. From memory I had the mics clipped to my jumper somewhere but I'm not sure.

1. The Aural Underground
2. Smash The Piñata
