Hot upcoming gigs

I would if I didn't have the kids this weekend - some real cathartic shit on Sunday, but the Pint Pot was far too small a venue and it was pretty uncomfortable

take me to the feeling
Yeah, Mr K saw them in Bristol and said they were excellent.

I genuinely can't tell if Sunday was the first time I've seen them, I feel like I've seen them before but that could well be me getting confused as a result of seeing too many bands advertised as having Gnod members in them. Did you see the ones who were on before them? Agreed about the venue, that kind of bar down the middle of the room thing always feels like it's designed to minimise the amount of space available.
I didn't see Thank, we were unwisely waiting to see Highschool at Hot Bed Press (in the end we left after one song).
The Pint Pot isn't a venue really, which is why it's not suitable for a band like Gnod to play - last time I saw them at a festival they were playing a room 5 times the size and it was still rammed. It actually felt dangerous in there at points on Sunday

I've never seen Ride.... but just seen they are playing a 30 year anniversary of Going Blank Again show in Brighton in a few weeks....
This is an album that has always had a very special place in my heart.
But is it worth going to see them now? Tickets not on sale yet but I'm sure will be spendy. I'd have to go billy no-mates style as I don't know any other Ride fanboys. And it's on a Monday. Hmmmm.
But then Leave Them All Behind has one of the best intros to any song ever.....
Will have to mull it over.....

They're playing on the Saturday night of the Connect festival up here in August. Playing all of 'Nowhere'. I've already got tickets for me and the kids for the Sunday (Mogwai and Idlewild, among others) but am seriously chewing over paying another 67 quid for myself for the Saturday just to see Ride (although I'd probably watch Chemical Brothers too) because I've been playing that album to death recently.

any idea what this is going to be like? 72 hour ketamine gabber party or something more sedate?

There's a talk on holistic care and practical magic on the Friday morning if you fancy it? Bands/DJs-wise, it sounds like a fairly varied mix:
The place at the end of Platt Lane was shut down a few months ago. They're somewhere around Victoria Park somewhere now so I'm thinking it's there.

Yeah, reckon I'll try to get down for at least one of the days. Would seem not impossible that they might try to get a one-off location just for this event, I imagine holding a big public event like this is probably not ideal if you want to carry on living somewhere afterwards?

Off to see the Viagra boys tonight at the Marble Factory, Bristol. I've had the ticket for at least 18 months!
This coming weekend has too many great things happening - Moor Mother is playing the White Hotel tomorrow, which I'd like to go to, but I'm already going to see Music for 18 Musicians & Space Africa on Saturday... then on Monday Oranssi Pazuzu are finally playing their much-delayed Manchester show, Deaf Kids supporting. Should be heavy af.
Off to buy a ticket for that tomorrow while I'm close by. I've not been in Academy 3 for many years.
Not sure I've ever been there tbh, what's it like?
Years ago it was called The Hop and Grape. Used to get to it up the stairs on the right as you go in. Bar was at the back oppsite stage with the Mixing desk in between. Last thing I saw there was probably The Amazing Snakeheads who I didn't really like and I imagine it's had some work done since. Don't think I've ever been to anything really loud there and not sure who this lot are but it gives a good idea of the space.

Got tickets for Yasmin Williams and Gwennifer Raymond at Komedia in Brighton on 13th June - that should be good.
Taking the kids to see Snail Mail and The Goon Sax later in the month. I'm not arsed at all about Snail Mail but The Goon Sax are great so I'm happy to tag along.

If anyone fancies a trip to Preston there's a nice (free) one day jazz festival coming up at the end of the month here - should be great if the weather's good, some decent acts on the lineup:
Also next Wednesday night (also free) Graham Massey's Sun Ra tribute band Toolshed are playing - they're great.

I'm off to see Oh Sees tonight- 2 year ticket roll over. I'm not fussed about them currently, but am really excited that Crack Cloud are supporting them as I've been wanting to see them for ages.
