Hot upcoming gigs

Just bought a ticket for Lizzo as I’m in the need for a big show. Mentioned on friends chat & now have friend most likely coming with but I would have gone solo.

I went for a cheap ticket which was £54 with BF
 
I have been tempted in the past to tell people 'I didn't pay 50 quid for a ticket to listen to you'. I usually just tut and move somewhere else though.

Yea me too but felt maxed out with the tutting & looking and I had already moved. Whilst I don’t want talking full stop if they were at the back I would have been less inclined to say something.

I’m reading a Viv Albertine book (forget name but not Clothes one) & she has just tipped pints over the heads of men talking at the front of a solo gig she did during being self described as middle aged.
 
Just got Part Chimp tickets for London in November for me and my partner.

On our first date getting on for 20 years ago she said 'take me to see a good band' - so for our second date I took her to see Part Chimp and that sealed the deal :D....

Been a few years since I last saw them - looking forward to it....
 
They were on good form when I saw them last year - they're playing here in November too, so will probably go and see them this time
 
I've got a Chimp ticket for Preston, was between there and Tod but Preston's a weekend.

I noticed afterwards they're playing at future yard which will be ear bleeding loud.
 
If you're at a loose end in London tomorrow night, there's a whole day of music by Iannis Xenakis to mark his centenary - Colin Currie's group are doing Pléïades, which is a piece for six percussionists on a microtonal percussion instrument of his own design - I heard a performance of it earlier in the summer and it was a total brain twister of a piece: would definitely go if I was in London.

There's load of other things of interest too, including a free concert in the morning (11am)

There's a rehearsal clip here:

 
Jane’s Addiction and Smashing Pumpkins at the Rogers Arena. Two of my favourite bands (Jane’s are in the lead though). And Foals who I’ve seen here before (amazing live band).
 
Strong recommendation for Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp who I saw by accident last night.

Like a French/Afrobeat version of the Arkestra. 12 people in a small room. Really tight. UK tour at the moment - Leeds tonight, but also Bristol, Lewes and other places:

Not that many bands come to Lewes where I live, especially bands with names like Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp so I'd planned to go but alas Covid will put pay to that. I'll have to see them next time they come to town.....

Aw man that sucks - hope you feel better / are able to move about more soon.
 
Agnes Obel tomorrow in Brum which is the last of my covid postponed gigs.

Got The Lemonheads late September who are doing ‘it’s a shame about Ray’ , I’m quite partial to Evan Dando
Was what it like moonsi til?
Reports from recent dates have been fairly bad. Evan completely off his face, barely coherent and people walking out.
I’m going tonight and now ambivalent.

can you say that again please? didn't quite catch it :oops:
 
I saw Evan at Leeds last week. I enjoyed it, but his voice is well fucked. An average set length as well, five song intro, the album +1 and a four or five song encore. There have been plenty clocking in at under an hour tho.
 
Charlie Puth☺️
My 12 year olds favourite artist three days before he turns 13 so best birthday present ever.
Twickets. Register fir the specific gig you want and then be sharp as fuck when you get an email. If you’re quick you will get one at just over cost price.

Yeah I’ve heard other dates had gone much better, he’d also cut a few short. Apparently last night’s was called off but that was a smoking area rumour.

We left during Kitchen and about 150 others had already gone and loads after whilst we were waiting for a cab. Door staff just saying sorry to everyone.

During the end of the acoustic bit he said the band would be on soon and they’d get to the good bit then ‘I’m sorry you hate me, I hate myself too’.

It was heartbreaking and not only could I not watch him but other people laughing about how fucked he was.

Someone said outside that after they’d finished Ray, the band went off and left him. I though the encores were the full band too?

ETA actually it did go ahead. The Lemonheads - Bass Drum of Death
