Hot upcoming gigs

[Fozzie Bear]

I appear to be going to see Terminal Cheesecake on the 20th...

They've still got it imho.

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Lee Perry is touring "Super Ape" soon.

I want it to be amazing but I am intensely sceptical.

 

[belboid]

Bugger, SFA playing at the Leadmill on April 26, and I'm away with the bleeding in laws. Grrrr...

 

[moonsi til]

I'm just listening to Day of the Dog, trying to convince me sis she should come next Wednesday. I bought tix for me n mrs b the day after I saw him in Nottingham last year, i knew she'd never forgive me for not letting her join in with his immensely entertaining and enlivening performances.

 

[moonsi til]

I'm taking my partner, his brother and sister-in-law. All Xmas gifts from me! Never seen him but just know it's going to be amazing.

 

[rutabowa]

You're playing a gig with the drummer from Sepultura??

 

[killer b]

anyway, this looks good next weekend in Brighton - by a twist of fate I happen to be there, but I dunno if I can go to the show.

err i guess so. I really don't know anything about it except that it is all made up on the night

 

[Fozzie Bear]

This Is Not This Heat were amazing on Saturday. It sounds like they are announcing more dates soon.

I'd strongly suggest grabbing tickets immediately as the London nights sold out in 24 hours and I had to perform unspeakable acts to gain entry.

Apparently Hayward did his solo piano thing before the show, what did you reckon to that?

I was sceptical but I really liked it - I think it included a bunch of Camberwell Now songs? Really quite affecting - and simple. Need to dig a bit into his stuff...

 

[moonsi til]

So belboid you are at gig now? The Glee Club gig was superb, great sound quality and bloody beautifully bonkers.

My partner was very happy which made me buzz as it was a gift and we were there together. Looking forward to update from your gig.

I had a listen to some of the solo stuff from the 80s after seeing his piano cycle last year, it's of it's time in a way This Heat aren't. Interesting, but not as compelling as any of his recent performances I've seen.

compare and contrast the studio version:

this was so great even if i say so myself... in a lunatics taking over the asylum way...

 

[binka]

Going to Fat White Family at Academy 2 in Manchester next weekend. Not listened to any of their music but they have a really long thread on here so thought they must be worth seeing

 

[Part 2]

me too

 

[belboid]

seeing them in Sheffield tomorrow, should be fun, even on a Monday

 

[rich!]

Recommend Terminal Cheesecake. Ears stopped ringing by 6pm

 

[Mogden]

Tickets not on sale yet but this is a crazy price to see Beth Orton.

Beth Orton / What's On / Brighton Festival

 

[ringo]

Going to get to the Twinkle Brothers gig on Thursday

 

[RareBird]

Meatraffle & the Communist Homosexuals @ The Windmill, 20:00 Tonight Tuesday 23/2/2016
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band 'The River Tour', Wembley Stadium Sunday 5/6/2016

 

[moonsi til]

Neil Young with Laura Marlin as support on Sunday 5th June in Glasgow. Hugely extravagant. Will be tied in with visit to family. That's my way of justifying the price.

 

[plurker]

Ernest Ranglin does a farewell tour this summer with a sick band: Tony Allen, Cheikh Lo, Soweto Kinch and Alex Wilson.

Barbican at end of June, on sale later this wk, cannot wait for this one!

 

[binka]

Just bought tickets for The Fall in Manchester in April

 

[belboid]

my mate just won tickets to Outlines Festival - but she cant go, so I'm having them.

Gang of Four, Toy, some other stuff...

[big eejit]

Off to see Half Man Half Biscuit tomorrow, then Fat White Family on Monday.

No gigs for ages then loads come along at the same time.

Hey Colossus / Not Waving at Shipley a week Saturday, should be wicked.
