Just Announced Mogwai at Turner Hall

How odd it must be, playing in Mogwai: You record a scrappy-yet-seminal debut (1997's post-rock standard-bearer Young Team), decide in hindsight that it's actually the worst thing you've done, and yet 12 years on, there your fans are, demanding the raw explosiveness of those salad days, when you've long since graduated to haute cuisine. Mogwai has done some exploding in the interim: From 1999's Come On Die Young to 2006's Mr. Beast (which the band considers the actual best thing they've ever done), Mogwai's strongest songs have always capitalized on the quiet/loud, heavy/heavier theatrics of the band's live show. Indeed, this is a band (especially recently, after last year's so-so The Hawk Is Howling) best experienced in person, which local fans will have a chance to do May 9 at Turner Hall, reports Pitchfork. The venue hasn't announced the show yet, so there's no ticket information at this time. Stay tuned to Decider for the latest. In the meantime, enjoy this clip of the band performing last year.
