XFM Winter Wonderland
Their first Glasgow gig in 360 days. Longest. Wait. Ever.
Cheers to Scott for the Photos...
Arguably, a bit of a strange bill; the best of Scotland as it currently stands, and Ocean Colour Scene, Get.Cape... odd.
But not to worry. It was always going to be the case that the crowds were slightly seperate for this, and it's certainly what I witnessed; the people going crazy for the view definitely departed when Biffy came on, and came back after they'd finished for OCS.
And for the record, the Biffy fans weren't booing OCS. Idiots.
Setlist:
Glitter and Trauma
Semi-Mental
Justboy
Now I'm Everyone
All the Way Down Chapter One: Prologue
57
Who's got a match?
Saturday Superhouse
My Recovery Injection
Suffice to say, Saturday Superhouse is by FAR the strongest of the new tunes i've heard to date. Utter beast.
There're numerous rips of the gig kicking about -you won't get it here though, but I'm sure if you ask someone on the main www.biffyclyro.com site, you'll get it there. Maybe after the album's out.

'Saturday Superhouse' Single Rumours..
Some keen types on the official Biffy Clyro messageboard have been investigating on the World Wide Web and uncovering some supposed release dates for Biffy's first 'proper' single from Puzzle and also the possible schedule of Puzzle's release.
Kelkoo, PureGroove and the file-sharing site Oink all have listings of the single.
Now I must stress, this is strictly NOT fact, but seems logical and quite exciting. There are conflicting dates but the general consensus is that the song 'Saturday Superhouse' will be released early to Mid-February with the album coming in late May.
Whether or not this happens, you'll have to wait and see, but it's all very exciting for me at least!
The song got it's first ever airing in front of a lucky Perth crowd last night, having witnessed it, I can safely say you're in for a nice surprise.

Enjoy!

Ice Factory, Perth
The boys returned to the live arena with a warm up gig in Perth, on the banks of the River Tay in Scotland.
The set was a mixture of both new and old, with one song getting it's first ever airing to the paying punter, that being 'Saturday Superhouse'. We were also treated to rare outings from 'All The Way Down (Prologue, Chapter One)' and 'Hero Management'. The support band were The X-Certs from Aberdeen, who seem to be heavily influenced by the Ayrshire trio.
The most important feature of the night though is the reminder that Biffy Clyro are still the best live band in the world.
The full set;
Semi-mental
Glitter and Trauma
Justboy
Some Kind of Wizard
Who's Got A Match
All The Way Down (Prologue/Chapter 1)
57
Now I'm Everyone
Wave Upon Wave Upon Wave
Saturday Superhouse
My Recovery Injection
Hero Management

There's No Such Thing As A Jaggy Snake
If anyone has any photos etc. please send them in and we'll get them on the site ASAP.
