How about something nice and quiet for you to have your dinner to? How about no. I can generally take or leave Biffy, but the stuff at the start of their career is the more takeable, and Jaggy Snake is good stuff any way you dress it up. Suppose the second session track might fall into "topical" territory, but I didn't notice that till I was about hit hit "post" on the session. Fun cover version too.

Scottish rockers Biffy Clyro will play their first shows in India this month. The band will support Metallica at both their dates - F1 Rocks in New Delhi on October 28, and Rock 'N India in Bangalore on October 30. The trio from Kilmanrock released their fifth studio album Only Revolutions in 2009, and were nominated for the Mercury Prize in 2010. We caught the band live in the UK earlier this year and while the familiarity of the music with the British crowd helped the cause, we can safely say that [...]
LightGuides released their mini-album 'Samba Samba Samba' earlier this month on Alcopop Records. We caught up with drummer Dave to discuss the 'veggie challenge', the healthy state of Scottish music and that elusive Jay-Z and Beethoven collaboration. And it goes a little like this: Cougar Microbes: What time did you wake up today? Was it out [...]
As gaggles of adolescents attached to backpacks filled with plastic waterproofs and dismayingly permeable macs head for Richfield Avenue and Bramham Park over the August bank holiday weekend bender, a brief and bleary-eyed glimpse around the Eurostar departure lounge on a chilled Friday morn suggests forever more buccaneers of Blighty are heading for Parisian banlieues and more precisely, for Rock en Seine . With the aforementioned iron horse depositing festival goers slap-bang at the beating heart of the French capital in approximately the same time as it takes to reach Leeds' railway gateway, the festival offers the foreign festival [...]
![Rock En Seine: Friday 26 August 2011 [Festival Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3679996_lg.jpg)
Rock En Seine (26-28 August '11, Paris) // Words: Simon Opie Zut alors! – For the first time in four years it's wet and relatively cold for Rock En Seine , which, by the way, is not your usual music festival but a cross between the standard fare and a chic Parisian end-of-holiday party. Fashion conscious Parisians would of course rather die than look dowdy so they dress to impress even in the mud and rain. Great for the spectacle, but I [...]
![Biffy Clyro – Revolutions // Live At Wembley [CD+DVD]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3654974_lg.jpg)
Cosa c'è di meglio di un bel CD-DVD che faccia da intermezzo tra l'uscita dell'ultimo disco e quello nuovo? "Revolutions // Live At Wembley" racchiude in sé ciò che i Biffy Clyro sono diventati in questi ultimi anni: una signora rock band di tutto rispetto che può permettersi di ancheggiare a tempo di "Bubbles" sul palco di Wembley vestita soltanto di un paio di pantaloni e di Converse All Star. Il sequel di "Only Revolutions" è già in lavorazione: attualmente Simon Neil co. stanno saggiando tra ventuno canzoni quelle che andranno a finire nel [...]

When it was first announced that Scots-rockers, Biffy Clyro, were to headline the Apollo stage on the Saturday night of this year's Sonisphere Festival, the internet exploded in an avalanche of butthurt. Anyone with an ounce of sense sat back and waited for the Biffy to prove all their detractors wrong. And prove it they [...]
For those that revel in getting their crusted, mudded socks off to what Lemmy this weekend persistently and insistently branded "rock'n'roll", in a waterlogged field on the outskirts of a mildly relevant town or city, options are relatively limited. Whilst myriad lightweight indie festivals come and go annually, line ups tumefied by rawk, metal, nu metal, grunge, hardcore etc. come at a premium, and premium is precisely what the 2011 edition of Sonisphere Festival proved to be. Clocking in at a mere, infantile three years old, the festival now sprawls across much of Europe, from Scandinavia to the [...]

Foo Fighters are no strangers to stadium gigs ad shows of epic proportions. They rocked Wembley two nights running, bringing on none other than rock legends John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin to power through covers of Zep hits 'Ramble On' with Grohl on vocal duties and 'Rock and Roll' with the ex-Nirvana sticks man behind the kit this time around. So when they announced two shows at the 'Milton Keynes National Bowl' in support of their new album, 'Wasting Light', it was a surprise to almost nobody. Such is the draw of [...]

O Biffy Clyro está em turnê com os Foo Fighters promovendo seu novo DVD ao vivo Revolutions: Live at Wembley , mas não pense que a banda está parada. Ontem eles tocaram uma música nova para o público no Milton Keynes Saturday Show. Uma surpresa como disse Simon Neil antes de tocá-la. Segundo o blog Some Kind of Awesome a banda está com várias canções prontas e não vai demorar muita para eles entrarem em estúdio. (via Some Kind of Awesome )
As we mentioned earlier in the Foo Fighters write up of the Milton Keynes Saturday Show, Biffy Clyro put on a show to be remembered for a long time to come. One hours worth of onslaught came from the Scots but as Simon Neil put it, we also got a nice little "surprise". The band played a brand new, previously unheard track to the 70,000 onlookers, no name was given for it just that it was a surprise. Live it sounded a lot heavier than the videos do it justice, but for you guys who can't [...]
