Found, Meursault & Panda Su @ Roxy Art House, Friday 4th December

The stunning picture above of a tiny Neil Pennycook of Meursault onstage at the Roxy Art House is by Dylan Matthews, who has a bunch of other excellent photos from the gig (and numerous other gigs) over at Blueback Hotrod. I'm pretty sure he gave me permission to use his photos on the night, however this was what I have already referred to as the legendary 'Day 4' and so I don't have very concrete memories of that point in the evening (but I'm sure he won't mind). Also, Neil is not tiny in real life, merely in relation to the surroundings in this picture (see obvious choice of Father Ted clip if this distinction is still not clear).

The Roxy Art House is the upstairs part of the building used up until this month for the Edinburgh Bowery. It's a great place, though at times the vastness of the venue meant there was a distance between the performers and audience that you don't usually get at Edinburgh gigs as most of them are in tiny venues.

The gig, which was put together by Ten Tracks, was still excellent though due to the fine line-up, with Panda Su impressing us with her melodic lullabies (though asking the audience if they knew the alphabet didn't seem to go down terribly well even though I'm sure she was joking!), Neil filling the venue with his formidable voice despite this being a rare solo Meursault appearance, and Found's last gig of the year was as danceably daft and entertaining as usual, even closing with a uncharacteristically punky cover of Devo's Mongoloid (see the original below). The only question I have is, why wasn't everyone up dancing to Let Fidelity Break
