Andy Cairns introducing Screamager in London last night - 'now we'd like to play you a medley of our greatest hit' - genius.
Fair play to them for playing every single song off Crooked Timber - it definitely takes some nerve to start your encore with a ten minute long instrumental off your new album, but they pulled it off. I think they've probably realised that the people coming to see them play these days are nearly all long term fans who've heard all the old stuff a million times and would much rather hear a set of new material peppered with a few old classics rather than hearing the whole of Trobulegum played yet again. To be honest I kind of wish the Wildhearts would take a similar approach with their setlist choices...
