Enter Shikari

[Lord Pikey]

Going to see them tonight, never heard of them but a mate said its worth it so why not...

Anyone heard of them? What they like.?

[Twit]

Awesome experience live but you will feel like you have crashed the local sixth form party, the band and audience are very young. It'll go mental and be very very hot... Have you actually heard any of it? Its like thrash crossed with hardcore, I really like it but it is an aquired taste.

Seen them a couple of times, once in a club somewhere near Milton Keynes and once at Milton Keynes bowl supporting Linkin Park. They got the same response at both venues which was people just going loony, think the audience at a Prodigy gig when they are in full flight!

Have fun!

[Lord Pikey]

So, bascially you saying at 28 im too old...

On the flip side, it should be crawling with young, dumb ladies.

Muscially it sounds interesting to say the least. Paid 25€ so not a complete loss if i dont like it.

I am seeing these beasts in February in Middlesbrough, I CANT wait.

The new song (thumper) is fking mental.

My friends in Holland told me last time they played there they had a trampette at the front of the stage for stage divers!

Despite the fact that I like them musically, I would rather Enter Shakira.

1st album by Enter Shikari is great. Second one not so good IMHO

Meant to be good live though. Hope you enjoy

The new song is fantastic, if you like the common dreads theme! Their remix album (with a couple of new songs) is out Feb 22nd.

Soooo... how was it my friend went and said they weren't great, I'm looking to prove him wrong. I think better bands have come of Reading than them but each to their own.

[ScottishSamurai]

Enter Shikari are a grey area for me, I like the music, but can't stand the singing with an english accent! Not just cause im scottish BTW

New song 'thumper' sounds awesome though.

[Lord Pikey]

the gig was well.... different to say the least. I think i prefere the newer stuff thats a bit easier to listen to.

place was rammed with totty tho

I thought Enter Shikari were from St Albans/Watford?

[Z06George]

Really I was told they were a Reading band. Quick wiki check, you're right I will have words with my source.

[Twit]

Definetly not a Reading band, I thought they from the north of M25 area as well.

[havoc]

I keep trying to decide if I like them or not. Juggernaut is a clear anthem, but some of the other stuff seems a little too "thrown together", IYSWIM. I probably should like them, as I'm into metal, industrial and some of the more accessible hardcore and hardhouse...but they just don't quite hit the mark.

[RedYellowGreen]

I wouldnt mind!!!!!!!







Oh I thought it said enter shakira. :O

These Enter Shikari fans are a bunch of larfs!

[Libertine]

Mix hard core with st trance music and you have this band...I don't get them. I'd rather just listen to a good hardcore band

[timlongs]

I'll report back in 8 days time.

Tomorrow night, can't wait! They cancelled the gig on saturday in Blackpool because during a sound check the ceiling collapsed!
