Hot upcoming gigs

[Fozzie Bear]

I dunno! it was at St Johns? I didn't see the drummer at the pub afterwards, in any case!

edit: actually it was 2015 not 2016 apparently. It was with Nurse With Wound and Cut Hands, pretty amazing lineup, though I seem to remember not being impressed with NWW (but loved Cut Hands and was awed by Faust to the extent I paid £20 for their NEW album [which i have barely listned to])

NWW were shite that night. Faust were good though. I saw them with Slapp Happy also - which was amazing.

Prodigy tonight

I once worked crowd control at a Prodigy gig right in front of the speakers front of stage. I refused the earplugs and it took weeks for my hearing to recover properly.

Yeah ears were ringing a bit in bed last night.

Good gig although I'm not entirely sure what it is Keith does most of the time

ha good so i remembered right... I can't remember why they were shit tho.

p.s. we finally, after over 2 years, had a General Echo that was totally rammed with people dancing last night!! it was a proper Victoria crowd too, a real mix of all the best people in walthamstow, all loving it. We're doing a free NYE party at the Pembury.

They’re absolutely lovely I DJ’d when they played at Offline in Brixton many years ago and they were utterly charming. Have followed them avidly since

 

[hattie]

They’re absolutely lovely

Brilliant brilliant great night . Holly was fabulous - despite being sick in the sink this morning after drinking red wine with Phil Jupitus last night

 

[JuanTwoThree]

Van I can take or leave these days, but Mott and the MC5 and Joan Jett? Plus James Taylor and good local band The Allnighters, and what would be some pleasant surprises among the ones I've not heard of.

Unfortunately it's the big weekend for my students' exams and when I take 30 pieces of silver from Cambridge.
