Hot upcoming gigs

MC Yallah (a Nyege Nyege Tapes staple, as Duma above) seems to have some dates in the UK in April - This great looking Tusk alldayer, but also The White Hotel (6th) and Jazz Cafe (7th)

Check out this set from 2020 if you aren't familiar - she's amazing.

 
Going to this gamelan show at the weekend at a modernist church in Manc - the same ensemble are playing a couple of nights at Cafe Oto (starting tonight I think). Some of the band are doing a gamelan workshop on Sunday that I'm taking my youngest to, which should be ace I reckon.


clip here, pretty wild stuff

 
Mary Lattimore is in the UK in June - only seen dates for Newcastle and Salford so far, but presume there'll be more to come
I don't know much about what Gosforth Civic Theatre is like, but I imagine that playing a theatre for your first night in the UK and then the White Hotel for the second must be a bit of a shock. Although at least it's not winter.
Southampton on Wednesday. :thumbs:
And one of the best venues in the UK on the 6th:

Also, Shonen Knife 40th anniversary tour in April:

Fairly comprehensive list of dates there, I started listing all the places they're playing in the UK but got bored typing it all out. So pretty good odds they're playing somewhere near you.
 
quite fancy Subhumans, the only time I've seen them I fell over in the pit 5 minutes in and hurt my back so badly I couldn't walk for a week and was still in pain several months later... I don't think I got the full benefit at that one
 
Dalek touring London, Salford, Newcastle and Bristol in June:
Also have a new album out next month:

(There's one for the "artists you refuse to listen to" thread as well, I spent a few years avoiding them in case they were a terrible British man making Dr Who-themed chap-hop, but they're actually brilliant.)

also Preston! I'll probably go and see them. Support is some Gnod side project too I think.

I didn't care much for them when I saw them years ago (Supersonic festival in maybe 2004?), but I've come round to some of their recordings since - definitely worth checking them out in a provincial sweatbox either way I reckon

Got tix for SK at the brudenell. Tempted by subhumans as well, but I’m back there two days later for McLusky and if I go to another gig there that week I may as well move back to bloody Leeds.

Don't go there next month (for SK) though, I've just looked at that listing again and belatedly realised that they're for 2023, not for next month, after scratching my head for a while trying to work out when Friday April 28th was.
 
Other upcoming things of possible interest: this is in Manchester next Friday, looked a bit more exciting when Iceage were playing but think they've cancelled, now there's just Dry Cleaning I've heard of and Sunflower Bean, W. H. Lung, The Lounge Society, Audiobooks, Honeyglaze, Melts, and Prima Queen who I don't know anything about, any idea if any of them are good?

Also, here's a really unexpected one: I thought, with certain events going on right now, the chances of a Moscow Death Brigade tour were probably quite slim, but they do seem to be doing a euro tour this spring, starting next week and playing a few UK dates around late April/early May, then back again in August:
Destiny International Tourbooking - MOSCOW DEATH BRIGADE
Tickets for their Bristol date and stuff do seem to be on sale now - I really didn't think you could just cross over from Russia to the rest of Europe, travel round Europe slagging Putin off and raising money for Ukrainian refugees, then casually go back to Moscow, but I dunno how this stuff works really.

Fucking hell, glad you told me! It was meant to be April 26 and as mrsb bought it for me I wasn’t informed of any change of date and she obviously didn’t notice any email!

They are magnificent live and Wigan is your friend!
 
Would love to see Arooj Aftab. Will keep close eye & see if anything happens bit closer to me.

Got tickets for Tackhead & African Headcharge in Bristol April 29th then Astral Festival the Sat & Sun.

Will get tickets for Jim White tour in June.
On u sound - Tackhead etc cancelled and no reschedule.:( I was really looking forward to this. Its still going ahead at the O2 in Kentish Town, but I'm not into it enough to go to London.
 
Horse Lords, who are the best live band in the world, are in the UK for a few dates in May/June - London/Liverpool/Bristol/Brighton - you should go to one of these dates, or all of them.

hitmouse You're gonna fucking love it mate, they were on form tonight, brilliant frontman who said after the last song "I'll be outside in a minute if anyone wants a hug or for me to sign something". So tonight I've been to a fab gig with good mates and had a bear hug and a fist bump from the singer of Fucked Up :)
They're proper brilliant live, was this your first time seeing them?

Anyway, Pop 1280 doing a few UK dates in May, for anyone who fancies a bit of industrial/electro stuff:

HVOB- TOO tour- my new favourite band - An electronic duo from Vienna- very heavy dark and bassy with a techno backdrop. Incredible vocals. I think she has the loveliest voice I've ever heard.

They are playing in Brixton on 7th of May and I think I'd be a fool not to go.
