Hot upcoming gigs

Thursday for the Alpines. First thing I've found that stays in my ear. Bought my son a pair aswell he thinks they're great.

My mate told me best to put them in before you go into a venue that way you don't notice the difference so much when the band comes on. I keep forgetting though....if I even remember to take them out of the house.
 
Frog Dylan and Blitz Playhouse at the Windmill on Saturday.

Decius Jan 20
Ry-Guy Jan 21

Meatraffle Feb 4
Togo All Stars Feb 7


Thinking about HAAL tomorrow night
 
iona I see you've ordered something anyway but I was going to say I've got some Loop earplugs and find them really helpful for wearing if I'm going to be in a pub or other similar noisy environment where I'm going to be expected to follow conversation despite a lot of background noise. They're actually sold as gig earplugs that just turn it all down a bit but don't muffle the sound too much but they work really well for me as a sensory overload prevention aid iyswim

 
Nuha Ruby Ra + Adult DVD Jan 26

Children of the Pope Jan 27 (Dada Movement are also playing but meh to them tbh. They’re going the distance but I find them RnR by numbers)

Cheers, I did see those when I was half-arsedly reading through reviews before giving up and asking on here but the loopy bits looked kinda bulky and I wasn't sure how well they'd suit my mangled ear cartilage.
 
got these at the minute which were a gift, not proper ear plugs but do help take the edge off

Had some of the flare ones too and found them difficult to put in and look after sometimes
Should really invest in moulded ones the amount of gigs I go to
 
Any other good gigs coming up in Manchester?
Depending on what you consider good, Big Joanie are playing Deaf Institute on the 17th, and Cool Greenhouse are playing Yes on the 20th?

they played the grosvenor back in 2010 on a monday night, wild show, the kids couldn't believe they were on the same level as them with no security or barriers.

One of my all-time greatest gig-miss regrets is not seeing them play a rollerdisco in Sheffield that must've been at around the same time.
 
Turns out shoegaze dreampop Stereolab-likers Peel Dream Machine are touring right now:

Annoyingly I've already got plans for the 24th, their London residency thing looks interesting though:
Also turns out they had an album last year that I totally missed, maybe we would've all loved it even more than Fontaines if anyone had actually heard it.
 
Right well those alpine earplugs arrived, so I stuck them in just for a second to see how they feel before I go out tonight, and since I took them out both my ears feel liked they're blocked and I can't hear properly. Off to a good start.
 
Just spotted that Greg Ginn's Black Flag ExperienceTM are touring this week:

(not my horrible cropping on the flyer, that's how it looked on their insta page, bloody boomers)
I imagine the sold-out gig at Boom might be a good one, don't think I can be arsed with seeing them in a massive venue though.
Also, perhaps more excitingly, Napalm Death touring in March:

Think they'll have Dropdead and Siberian Meat Grinder supporting.
 
They've got Total Chaos supporting,

I went last night, TC are like the last thirty or forty years never happened. BF were decent, tho lacking in the attack they used to have and the singer is pretty meh.

Tickets are going for a fiver if you're subbed to HRH - a bit annoying after I'd paid £25, but hey ho. (that my only be for the O2 venues)
