Hot upcoming gigs

[ska invita]

1st london gig sold out fast (static shock fest always does tho), I'm off to peckham one. Cant foresee them making it back over here really.

Peckham Audio is a great venue

Big On U revival night planned, 7 November @The Forum, Tackhead, African Head Charge, Creation Rebel, Adrian Sherwood plus god knows what else.

Peckham Audio is a great venue

ahh it's changed venue now, it's now at "The Waiting Room" in stoke newington... which I never heard of... nearer home I guess but I was looking forward to seeing peckham audio. I wonder why it moved.

 

[rutabowa]

oh damn it the Waiting Room is just a new name for the basement of the 3 Crowns. not great at all from what i remember

I've been dragged along there once and it was good - sounded loud anyway. Simple squareish loud room.

 

[what]

Off to see Emily Capell again. Friday at Dingwalls

Mogwai playing the Roundhouse next February

I don't think I've ever booked a gig that far in advance. This seems to be a trend in theatre too - booking periods of 1 year plus. Presumably to maximise cashflow.

bloody Mancs Victoria Warehouse is their northern date. Appalling venue, so fuck it.

Glasgow Hydra seems equally unpopular going by comments on social media

 

[killer b]

all the big venues in manchester are shit, mind.

 

[Part 2]

Yea, they did play the Bridgewater once although I missed it...not sure they've ever played the Apollo, that would be my preference at that size but generally speaking I'm through with gigs that big.

 

[belboid]

according to wiki, Victoria & the Apollo both hold 3,500, I'd have thought the former was way bigger. In which case, wtf would anyone go for that dump? It has its faults, but the Apollo is a proper venue.

If it was 5k, almost understandable, there are no decent venues that size in the north, hardly any down south either (3 maybe)

 

[belboid]

Just bought my Cope tickets. Sheffield, Leeds, Nottingham AND Manchester, I can't remember the last tour when I could get to so many gigs so easily.

bugger, Brum, Leeds & Sheffield postponed. and mrsb is playing a gig the night that Sheffield has been rearranged for.

 

[nick]

cheeky ask. Should anyone happen to be holding an extra ticket for Meatraffle on Friday - I'd be happy to take it off you, since we are 1 short
thanks on the off chance

ETA - please ignore - (if you haven't done so already). Managed to buy another

they sorted their pa and depending on the engineer it can sound very good in there now.

EP64 are brilliant too, looks like a good show

Yeh it was that I was going for originally, but the headliner sounds pretty tempting too

Saw Special Interest last night. Still got Glasgow, Cardiff, Bristol and London gigs this week. Very much recommended.

 

[killer b]

ah, I really wanted to go to that, they sound great

Does look good. Just after my birthday too.


Back to the days of my (relative) youth...

There was talk of Gary Clail appearing - he's been playing a few gigs at The Dublin Castle recently.

Was great!

 

[May Kasahara]

I might be interested in that On-U Sound gig

 

[Lazy Llama]

I might be interested in that On-U Sound gig

Tickets went on sale today - £40 a shot, but it'll be starting at 6pm...

 

[Part 2]

Got someone looking into guest list...£40 is my upper limit for gigs thesedays and I'm not fond of crowds that big anymore.

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Also up for the on-u sound gig... seems wildly irresponsible to suggest an urbs meet up beforehand at the moment but that might be good.

 

[mr steev]

I've got Julian Cope next week, then Tankus The Henge, The Lovely Eggs and Holy Fuck in April. I'm not feeling that confident they're all going to happen at the moment though

 

[May Kasahara]

I've got Dean Wareham in April and then Reverend Horton Heat in May - will be gutted if the latter doesn't go ahead, I've been waiting ages to see him again.

I missed Ben Watts because I had a semi panic attack two hours prior and my friend who usually encourages me is terrified of the cvirus so was happy for me to stay in.

UK Subs at xmas, taking the rest of the year off, although I'm volunteering at Folk East so if anyone has any good folk recs post 'em here.

 

[waxoyl]

I've got roughneck riot ,pizza tramp ,and tim loud, two weeks time in warrington. loads of other gigs all off now fucking sad. uk subs next xmas hopefully.

Just came back from london gig, was amazing. New favourite band. Their new songs slay. If that was the last gig that ever happens then it was a good one. I guess they're stranded in this country now anyway.
