Recently saw Goldfrapp at The Birmingham Symphony Hall. Saw them the same week as saw Johnny Marr - real contrast in gigs from a tiny working mens club to a huge Symphony hall. The show was great - very 'slick' and orchestrated, great lights, great stage and Alison Goldfrapp's voice is amazing. A seemingly shy preformer but with huge stage presence. Intriguing lady. Not right to be seated at a gigthough...glad she encouraged the audience to stand...sitting at a gig..its never right!!
the info about the gig read: The set will draw from the twosome’s impeccable back-catalogue, which suggests an almost schizophrenic split in their sound palette. On the one hand, feel the compulsive rhythms of the hit act that stomped through hits Strict Machine and Ooh La La, indebted to a fetishistic mid-European disco thud and the dress-up fantasia of glam-rock, and on the other hand experience the simplicity of the voice & guitar from which Tales of Us takes....a good description. From very melancholy to really energetic. Another great music experience.
