Hot upcoming gigs

I like The Peer Hat but it was a bad choice of venue for that imo. Course she was very good, as was David Terry (didn't see slow knife)....Could hear too much of the music from upstairs though. Maybe wouldn't have been like that on a week night but there seemed to be an eighties night going on.....In Between Days, Reward, She Sells Sanctuary etc

And I got a parking ticket 😡

Agreed! It was annoying to hear the music/noise of the bar upstairs and the bar staff coming and going during the set.

The one speaker sounded proper wrong during David Terry's set as well, I really felt for him.
 
oh that's a shame - I've never had this problem before, but I suppose all the bands I've seen at the Peer Hat have been pretty raucous.

(if you fancy seeing her again in the spring, my mate Rico is putting on a festival in April in Preston that she's playing at, as are her band The Left Outsides, and a host of other bands I reckon you'll be into - watch this space)
 
Arooj Aftab is playing two dates in the UK in November - Soup Kitchen in Manc on the 2nd, Kings Place in London on the 3rd. Her music is wonderful - mixture of pakistani sufi devotional stuff with jazz, minimalism, indie rock. lots going on. I'm going to see about a babysitter.

she's great.
 
Well, I did have my first indoor gig since the pandemic scheduled tonight, but I am ill. It was Tankus the Henge at The Joiners, Southampton, if anyone can use the ticket.

I've posted this in Recycle Your Stuff as well.

If you can use the ticket, there’s the added bonus that I’m going too. :thumbs::thumbs:
 
Going to see O Yuki Conjugate tomorrow - a band that has only ever existed as a name for me, since seeing them referred to in fanzines and tape label catalogues and the like in the 1980s.

I always assumed they were Japanese but it turns out they are from Nottingham.

Might be great, might be shit, but I am studiously avoiding listening to them until I am sat in front of them tomorrow night with a cold Kernel IPA in my hand and a warm hearted friend to my side.

They were great! Top evolving soundscape biz. Great visuals.

And I remembered to get milk on the way home too. :cool:
 
That is a really weird idea isn't it. Like you say I'm kind of interested in how they'd do it but equally suspect it will be a totally pointless exercise.
I saw Basinski 'live' a few years ago, and as far as I can tell he just pressed play on a laptop, so it would have to be better than that. But it also has the feel of all those terrible Hacienda Classical shows, except for millenial hipsters instead of ageing ravers...

Haha he was at least fiddling with some tapes when I saw him so a comparative rockfest.

I'd go if they actually found a way to disintegrate the musicians mid show.

did he encore on a track from Disintegration Loops like he did when I saw him? I do sympathise tbh - it's like his Bohemian Rhapsody, he can't get away with not playing a track or two from it when he does a show, but how do you actually do it live?

Yeah I think so...it was a long time ago in the beforetimes so I can't really remember to honest. I did quite enjoy the gig actually, but there's nothing to see there.
