Hot upcoming gigs

Nothing now till 2022! Next up are the Delines (Feb), Tommy Emmanuel (Feb) and La Luz (April), so lots to look forward to.
 
Of to my first gigs since Feb 2020. Going to see Emily Capell at a newish venue in Kings Cross called Lafyette on Saturday night.
Anyone been to the venue
 
If anyone fancies seeing/catching covid from some Glaswegian art/postpunk types, you're in luck:


"24th - Edinburgh - TBC
25th - Manchester - The White Hotel w Handle & Humint
26th - Sheffield - Delicious Clam
27th - London - Sebright Arms w Es & Sniffany & the Nits
28th - Bristol - The Lanes
29th Leeds - Wharf Chambers w Nape Neck & Humint
30th - York - Fulford Arms
1st - Newcastle - Cumberland Arms
10th - Glasgow - Stereo"
Their bandcamp is here:

Kaputt are very good btw, worth seeing if you're free. Although slightly disappointed in that they have Chrissy Barnacle in them, who's someone I would pay money to watch doing a stand-up set/just saying unhinged shit, but in this band she just plays saxophone and doesn't say any weird shit between songs.

On old people punk gigs, realised that UK Subs are playing near me soon but I'm seeing actual young people bands that night, and Discharge are playing in Bolton tomorrow but don't think I have the energy for it, got a lot of household chores to do this weekend. Which in some ways is perfectly reasonable cos seeing the band called "Discharge" in 2021 is in no way comparable to what they must've been like in their heyday, but also it makes me feel like I'm having my d-beat card permanently revoked.

What a great small venue. Great sound and lights, unusual layout as it's a very long and shallow room so everyone is close to the stage, and another great show from Emily Capell.

I went to Discharge in Bolton on Saturday, excellent night and my first gig in two years. My ears were still ringing on Sunday afternoon and I'm aching like fuck

Bugger, regretting it a bit now. Although I did have a lot of household chores to do that weekend.
 
Transcendence Orchestra this weekend in Bethnal Green should be killer

Sounds like the Amyl and the sniffers gig in Camden last week was a bit of a spreader event, a party of 3 I know all positive now, another 7 who travelled from Cambridge, and Amyl too yesterday so putting a spoke in the tour wheels.

She was performing tonight supporting Sleaford Mods?
 
After Lee Scratch Perry's gig being cancelled for obvious reasons and me not making For Those I Love's gig for a combination of reasons, looking forward to seeing Jessie Ware a week today as my first post lockdown gig. (*Hopefully nowt goes wrong between now and then.)

doubt it: 30/11/2021 - upcoming shows cancelled cancelled
FROM AGILE TO FRAGILE: Our show in Barcelona and our appearances at Jenny Beth and Trans Musicales Rennes festival are cancelled as Amy and Gus have unfortunately tested positive to Covid. We are glad we tried - and can’t wait to try again in the new year. Amy, Gus, Declan and Bryce send love to everyone with tickets and are so sad to have to cancel. News on NY show when we know
 
As mentioned by Part 2 on the manc thread, A Certain Ratio are doing a free outdoor show outside Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester on Sunday night (6pm) - they were great when I saw them the other week, will probably head down as it's round the corner from Mrs B's (weather allowing...)
 
Faith No More are cancelling (?) the big tour that was originally on for the UK in 2020 and has been rescheduled twice. I’m sure I’ve said ‘go for it’ to rescheduling for 21 and 22 but announcement today is for cancelling, I think?

We are still on for Smoove and Turrell at a pub in town next Thursday so far. Think poss it’s <500 capacity but can’t really be sure if that as my special awareness is lacking.
 
I enjoyed seeing The Kunts at the Fleece in Bristol last week. Nice friendly little venue, very helpful getting me a stool as standing for long periods isn’t easy for me. Even got a picture of me and Kunt!
 
Manchester Folk Horror Festival at the Peer Hat in February looks good - loads of weird experimental folk stuff and the like. I think the headliners are Paddy from Gnod's new freak-folk side project, House In The Woods is a Pye Corner Audio pseudonym, and The Fates are Una Baines' (formerly of The Fall) witch-themed folk rock band from the 1980s. Reckon it should be a sweet day of music.

 
Was seeing Julianna Barwick next month but she's cancelled the tour.

I was looking forward to it too 🙁
 
May as well post this, as I'm going. I've never seen a South London Punk Collective gig posted here, but if I can drag my sorry arse up all the way from Hampshire to London for this, maybe someone more local may be interested.



Rabies Babies are brilliant, and I saw Dinosaur Skull at the same venue last year in what was their first gig - they're good too. Not heard of the other two bands, but based on the headliners and organisers, they'll be punk/feminist/anarchist. Can't wait, personally.
 
Just bought a ticket for Benefits at The White Hotel next month. Quietus favourite and seems to be doing a few gigs around the country in February and April. A bit Sleaford Mods but heavier and angrier.

 
Arooj Aftab is touring in February, Manchester date is Gorilla though which I swore off last time I went... anyone been there lately? has the sound improved?

I was listening to her today thinking of getting a ticket but I'm not a fan of the venue either and it really doesn't seem like the right place. Last thing I saw there was.Melt Banana a few years ago so no idea if anythings changed.
