I saw them live last year, after a fashion.  I'd really gone to see
Labradford, who were the support - which is a sad indictment in itself.
The crowd were pretty indifferent to Labradford, who I thought were
excellent.  The High Llamas on the other hand sounded like vastly
unoriginal sixties copyists - I left after about three songs as I was so
annoyed.  The crowd loved them though.

That's not much use for you is it.
