Friday April 18th marked the return of Mogwai at The Regency Ballroom since their last show there in 2008. The thick, foggy haze that filled the room played into the introspective stoney vibe that the Scottish band is known for before they were even on stage.

Currently on tour in support of their 8th album, Rave Tapes, which as one might imagine based off of it's name alone has more electronic characteristics than any of Mogwai's past work, Friday night's set consisted of tracks from across their post-punk discography.

Deeply hypnotic, melodic rock cast the crowd in a tranquil trance as a serious stage presence from each band member immersed us further into the show. For the most part the members of Mogwai kept to themselves during their performance; however, lofty guitar solos, bass solos and Barry Burns' occasional bout on lead vocals allowed them to share the spotlight throughout the night.
