Hot upcoming gigs

[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

I thought they were good

 

[colacubes]

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.

We're HMHB any good? I'm making a trip to see them in Yorkshire in a couple of weeks as they never come to London

 

[belboid]

hmm, Gaye Bykers On Acid in a pub in Leicester in September. Could be awful

They were very good. Many classics. Personally I would've liked a bit more of the more recent stuff. And Nigel seemed a bit either under or over whelmed - maybe the venue - the O2 in Bristol is a cavernous shithole. He should write a song called Cavernous Shithole about it.

 

[Lorca]

not sure if anyone likes him here, but momus is doing a few gigs in the uk in march. none near me, sadly. Momus

 

[Voley]

The wonderfully named Plague Vendor are playing a few shows in April including Guildford boiler rooms which is nowadays a local venue for me. Their first album was reminiscent of Dead kennedy's west coast 100mph hardcore but their new material has slowed down and is much more melodic/expansive. The few tracks I've heard off the new album sound really good. Worth checking out if you like your rock on the hard side.

 

[rutabowa]

It is the next General Echo night at the Victoria in Walthamstow next Wednesday, free dub. Then we do this!

 

[redchris]

That looks good rutabowa.

Lee Scratch Perry on Sunday. He's 80 years old next week. It's not going to be very good, is it?!

miracles can happen, very rarely.

 

[redchris]

Here's hoping. Think I might smoke something intoxicating beforehand to increase the chances like.

Unfortunately there was no miracle. He was barely audible his voice was so weak. Mind you, he made absolutely no sense in the moments when he could be heard so I guess nothing was lost.

Was it the "Super Ape" show, Chris? I really wanted that to be good but figured it would be more like you described...

 

[plurker]

I think very sadly, that LSP has past the good times performance-wise. I caught him a few times maybe 10/15 years ago - Jazz cafe shows wwere great, but his set at Womad two years ago was abysmal, sounds as though a good few since were equally bad.

Manged to meet him at Womad mind for a few words

 

[rutabowa]

I saw him in leeds in about 1999 and was still pretty lame then.. It was alright for a novelty to see him in real life though

 

[redchris]

Yes, it was the Super Ape show Fozzie. I've always respected the guy, I mean he's a legendary figure in the reggae world but I wouldn't describe myself as a massive fan. I basically went with a friend who was desperate to see him. I suspected it wouldn't be great and so it proved to be.

Just got this in my inbox. Might be interesting for some of yoooz

For the first time Gregory Issacs son Kevin Issacs will be touching down in the UK at Hootananny/Brixton with full backing band, singing all his fathers hits, a night not to miss.
