Registered 6 years agoI think I tend to prefer closer to 'post-metal'
Isis, Mouth of the Architect and Cult of Luna and their ilk did it for me for a while, now I prefer more mellower post-metal like Leech who are my best discovery in a long time (http://www.myspace.com/leechofficial), and Long Distance Calling (can be found on Leech's Myspace top friends).
Mogwai stopped doing it for me a while ago, and now I don't listen to much of what I used to, but if you are interested in some other 'post' bands then check out
Coffin Dancer (Aaron Turner from Isis side project)
Kenoma
Rosetta (The Galilean Satelites is a wonderful album, 2 CDs of pure artistic wizardry)
and finally
Tides - Resurface

Great to listen to on your own, crap for gigs. I saw Arab Strap once, it was excruciating. The set went on for 2 hours and everyone's legs were aching by the end.
I remember another post-rock gig I went to, can't even remember who the band were now but it's the only gig I've ever been to where the entire crowd ended up sat cross-legged on the floor...Inventor of the hovercraft

Registered 8 years agoI saw Mogwai, and they were fucking fantastic. Nobody was sitting down.
I loved it when the crowd were shouting out requests. "PLAY YES WE ARE A LONG WAY FROM HOME."
And Dominic just went up to the mike and said "No."

Registered 8 years agoI think my problem was most of my post-rock gigs were bands in the "quiet/chin-stroking" subset of post-rock. I can well imagine that Mogwai would have been different - I had a mate who was in a Leeds post-rock band called Rauschen that was at the noisier end of the spectrum and they were great live.

Well, Mogwai can do quiet. But they can also do awesomely, ear-piercingly loud. Often in the same track. :-D
I had ringing in my ears for several days afterwards, and I wasn't even close to the stage. -

Registered 6 years agoMogwai are very loud. And awesome. They played Mogwai Fear Satan, which made me JOYFUL.
Mouse, you were in UpCDownC etc? oo! I think they released Embers. I remember not thinking it was up to much, tbh.

Registered 5 years agoOh, and also Envy have been going down the post rock route for a few years now and they're absolutely bloody wonderful. They're still a hardcore/screamo band at heart but stuff from their last couple of releases are spine tingling stuff.
Best live band i've ever seen and their dvd that they released last year is epic stuff. Fans of Mogwai might recognise the vocalist Tetsuya, who features on their tracks 'I Chose Horses' which is on Mr.Beat I think. -

Awesomest post-rock gig i ever did see. -

Registered 6 years agoWell, I thought Embers was pretty....'post-rock', if you get what I mean. That formula that a heavier EITS did 8 years ago, and others did bits of before. -

I only just deleted UpCDownC off my iPod the other day when I had a ruthless cull of stuff I don't listen to enough, I liked the list of influences on your Myspace if I recall them correctly, and thought the music was promising stuff.

Registered 6 years agoI listened to Cinder by Dirty Three properly again, the other day. Gorgeous.
Reminds me of The Marionette and the.. by Unwed Sailor. I have to be in the right mood but when I am, it's so nice to listen to. Great Waves is gorgeous.
Ditto BTBAM. -

I officially announce this is open to ambient music as well. Eluvium, Stars of the Lid, A Lily, Ramesess III, Port Royal, Tim Hecker, etc etc etc. And, to be honest, any kind of music that doesn't fit anywhere else. -

Registered 4 years agowilliam basinski's disintegration loops I-IV are well worth checking out if you are into ambient. i've been listening to them a lot recently, quite an interesting story to their creation as well

Edit: I just did a not so scientific test using last.FM tags to see which bands were considered PR, and much to my surprise, Aereogramme are...well I never. -
Post-rock? I'm not done listening to rock yet, I can't be post-rock. Same goes for post-metal.
Post-grunge can kiss my hairy sack too while they're at it.Follow me on Twitter: @MrTom

I generally prefer heavier material--Isis, Cult of Luna, Rosetta, and what have you-- but I'm also fond of more ambient/electronic stuff like
Lights Out Asia and Hammock -
