Hot upcoming gigs

[story]

You've got a clash on the 21st, or is the first one a matinee?

But I do have a clash in April next year:
Jim Bob doing 40 songs /40 years at the Shepherds Bush Empire, or Flaming Lips....

 

[RevolutionSound]

Not a gig, but I'm going to House of God for the first time in over 20 years. I'm a bit nervous

They sound pretty good if you like that delicate slow sad sort of stuff:

Had a great time, thank you. Spent the first part of the evening in Burt Backarackham's karaoke and the rest of the night in the Wonky Disco room. Top night!

Seein him on Tuesday! How was it?

 

[zedr]

Gutted to miss out on tickets for Richard Dawson at the Ivy House. Got the presale tickets email and they sold out in about 20 mins, and then the actual tickets sold out in 5 mins. Hoping to get some on the resale.

Same with Alcest at Brixton Academy. Has anyone had much luck with the waitlist thing on Dice?

I saw Tindersticks at the weekend and was really looking forward to it. I did book it at the start of the year when feeling particularly morose but I came away disappointed. They did very little of their early stuff which are the songs I love. Everyone else seemed to enjoy it though.

I saw them at Manchester. I thought they really killed the new stuff and were on top form. But yeah if you wanted the old stuff you were't really in luck. Though they did a short set with some oldies like Bear before the main set at Manchester.
Sadly I did not get as much out as I wanted as I was so knackered and dispirited from work.


Saw Nick Cave last night at Leeds Arena. Bit soulless as a venue but a very good mix of the new album and classics. Was so-so on Wild God on first hearings but its grown on me, still probably not up there best but some very good tracks on it.

dice waiting list often works - i've been lucky with Osees at Shacklewell Arms and Richard Dawson at Moth Club.

Fucking excellent. Career spanning set, the new stuff sounds even better than on the album, a great band who seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves. No Stagger Lee, but you can’t have everything.

I was surprised by how decent the place was. Yeah, it’s an arena, but as arenas go it was bloody good, compact, excellent sight lines all around and only £9 a beer!

 

[chandlerp]

I’m off to see Deep Purple there on Thursday

 

[Dr. Furface]

only £9 a beer!

You are kidding, yes?

 

[belboid]

You are kidding, yes?

I am wildly exaggerating. It was £17.90 for two.

 

[Dr. Furface]

I don’t go to so many gigs these days but I haven’t yet paid more than £7.50 a pint - and that’s in London

 

[chandlerp]

Glad I’ve stopped drinking!

I've probably said this before but I remember being horrified by being asked for 60p for a pint in the Marquee.

TBF it probably is ok as those type of places go but the last two times I saw the Bad Seeds was in great venues. The Perth Amphitheatre being particularly excellent

 

[hitmouse]

Yeah, that was a bit good.

 

[Griff]

Off to see the Brian Jonestown Massacre in February, which means a long weekend in Newcastle.

 

[Ax^]

Deftones next year

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Got a Maribou State ticket for February. Will probably buy an Iggy Pop (next June) ticket tomorrow.

 

[Hollis]

Nick Cave tomorrow - I'm glad it's getting good reviews, as not really in the mood atm!

 

[hitmouse]

It is definitely worth seeing. Also if anyone's at a loose end in Cambridge tomorrow night, the Cindy/April Magazine tour is really good if you have any interest in shoegazey slowcore barely-there music.

Craven Faults in Salford tonight.

I unexpectedly have a spare pass at very short notice, and I hate to waste a pass.

Anyone in the Manchester area fancy coming along?

Pm me.

I’ll be driving but I’ll check as I move.

 

[belboid]

Talking of spares, I have one to Beak> tonight at the Brudenell if any one fancies.

He rarely plays.

Anyone up for this?

I went to see The Orb last night:

The support act was Fohn. He's the violin player from Quade. Good stuff.

If you're into atmospheric thoughtful inner-eye soundscape stuff, check him out.

I've seen Quade live and enjoyed it. Not so much their studio stuff. But given time and experience this may improve.

Craven Faults was worth the trip. Home on empty roads with the slow-lane chain of trucks, home in time for 5:00 AM.

I was gonna go to his Bristol show but was persuaded to go to the Salford show instead. Apparently the Bristol show was technically spot on but lacking the grit and grime we had last night in Salford. So odd/cool how one man twiddling about with electronically created sound can be this organic and responsive to setting.

I learned that it takes him 3 hours to set up his rig.


USA Nails + Mums tonight .

Blimey, £11 must've been loads in 1995, I imagine.
