Hot upcoming gigs

I'm certainly judging whoever put that bill together, the first two thirds of that line-up are a solid set-up for making a very mediocre Brexit joke but I can't see any way to get Whitesnake into a punchline.
Just throw it into the nearest large body of water and the RNLI will do the rest.
 
Impulsively- weeks ago bought a ticket for dot to dot festival in Bristol today....cept not feeling it (bit low today) and despite listening to a sample of most of the bands there really is not much I'm interested in.....on the other hand if I can see 4 bands then I will of got my moneys worth.

Was going to start with Just Mustard but have discovered Nixer at the same time so will start there, so plan is

Nixer
JockStrap
Mandy Indiana
Scalping
Squid

I forgot how overwhelming multi venue taster gigs are- especially for someone with ADHD - it's hard to stick to the plan!

Did you get to Mandy Indiana? Saw them a few weeks ago and they were wild

I did a bit and really liked them but sadly I was not in the mood for dot to dot....and went home.

I was thrown by JockStrap as in my head I thought they were a Scottish punk band! I'm obviously getting them confused with a different band.....its really bugging me and I spent ages trying to work out my confusion.......and as I'm typing this I realised that it's because I was thinking of KNEECAP who are not Scottish or punk but Irish and hip hop. 😆 So I was extremely disappointed and JOCKSTRAP did nothing for me. I was already quite fragile and it was a struggle to leave the house.

hitmouse I trawled through your posts because I knew you had mentioned Kneecap ( at the time I thought it was JockStrap) and wanted to work out where I'd gone wrong.
My ADHD is off the scale atm.
 
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.

just a remembered about this - seen some footage from Amsterdam, they seem hot as hell. London tonight, Liverpool tomorrow, Bristol Wednesday, Brighton Thursday.
 
Went to see Mary Lattimore last night. Just wonderful music and she was really funny and charming. I think my weekend peaked too early.

Last night of the tour in Bristol tonight I think.

she's playing Todmorden tomorrow too (seems a weird route to take...)
 
What was Lattimore's support like? I was listening to some of his stuff the other day, sounded good
He was great. I thought while watching that you'd like him. Moments of Alabaster DePlume...without the singing!

Quite tempted to go to Todmorden tomorrow.
 
killer b and other vaguely manchester located heads, I recommend going to see Model Home this wednesday at the White Hotel, over from Washington DC.

This is us on the radio yesterday

I had seen that, but am feeling a bit frayed after a punishing (though also v. enjoyable) gig schedule in May and need to take a bit of a break
 
Thinking of going to one of the Gwenifer Raymond + Yasmin Williams gigs. Maybe Brighton, maybe Birmingham but both are a stretch for me.

I'm going to the Brighton gig - looking forward to it!
 
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.)
First night of this tour in Preston tonight, defo recommended: I had heard that Holy Scum were providing the backing for Dalek, but it wasn't quite like that - in fact the guy who does the beats for Dalek did vocals and additional noises for Holy Scum, and then Dalek did their thing later. Took a while to get going but once they were in the zone it was magic.
 
....I've just seen that Shipley's Golden Cabinet - one of the best gigs in the country for a couple of years, though dormant recently - is returning in October with a heavy lineup, including Holy Scum. Scorn headlining!

I've got two tickets for Nine Inch Nails at the Brixton Academy on Tues 21 June. It's likely to be a low key (in terms of stage show) compared to what they usually do as the venue is much smaller than they normally play at.

However. That date is also one of the train strike dates so I might not get there. If I do, its likely that I will have a spare ticket if anyone wants to come (for free, that's the kind of guy I am).

I'll be at the bar and not in the pit but once you're in you can do what you want.
 
Now Steve Ignorant reimagining Crass as hard-core going on heavy metal. :hmm: probably should have left well alone but still a joyful noise. Must stop posting updates.
