Damn. I have double gig dilemma.
Ive asked Urban to help me decide on the help me decide thread.
A friend’s gig, a band I’ve seen many times over the years and love out of loyalty rather than personal preference (although they are good, just not especially my cuppa) OR a hot hip young band I’ve only seen once before and found to be interesting and exciting.

I‘m thinking of coming down to yours tonight as it goes.

Huh, for a Canadian band they certainly tour the UK a lot...bugger, just checked and it turns out they're playing here tonight, and I would've been well up for seeing them but am a bit too into cosy-at-home mode now. Still, there'll probably be a next time.

Cool; tbh I've not seen either of the two main bands before. Just trying to book a whole load of new stuff at the moment that might turn out be interesting.

Yeah, and how I never saw the Long Blondes back in the day. But still.

I knew someone who was offered a pass - not even a ticket, an actual pass - to see Madonna at the Brixton Academy and turned it down cos he was already settled in front of the telly. And he lived a five minute walk from the venue.
That is proper idiotic, and no “I‘m settled in now” will ever be as bad as that. So you can enjoy your evening in the sure and certain knowledge that you can’t win this worst-example game.
They're sold out in Manchester tonight anyway so don't sweat it

Saw two bands last night
Quasimodo and Cotton Joe
Quasimodo was relentless fiddle music. With guitar. I kept thinking of The Devil Went Down To Georgia but I would have been glad to hear that instead of the band. The last song was slower and I got a better sense of what their songs are actually like, and I was more interested. Crowd enjoyed it but I felt like I was being beaten over the head with a whirring blender full of blurred strings. The drummer was good, lots of rattling fills and not a dropped beat but he seemed to be playing against the fiddle rather than the bass, which made the whole thing feel off kilter.
Cotton Joe was metal. Not especially heavy, but enough, and very welcome after the fiddling earlier Quite grungy in places. Drummer was excellent and I kept wanting the rhythm guitar to get out of the way so I could hear him and the bass play together more clearly. Lead singer on lead guitar, and he gave due diligence to some respectable shredding but because he was also singing he was distracted by that.
There wasn’t enough separation in the sound for either band, and I think that was maybe down to the soundie rather than the bands (I’ve had the same thought before with this guy in this venue).
I‘d turn up in time to see Cotton Joe on the bill because you don’t get to see a lot of metal played at this level these days, and I’d be interested to hear them with a different soundie. Quasimodo, not so much.
Tonight it’s Human Resources (not the Dutch electronic people, the long haired London guitar lot. I know we’re probably starting to run out of band names by now but do new bands not check to see if their name already exists any more?) and Plutoz Beach, which is Jazz from Fatdog’s new project.
