Got any gigs coming up?

[Amy Lawn]

Think you're right - seems to be all about America for some reason.

Just seem Bipolar Sunshine are playing The Ritz in October so will book to see them. Didn't catch them at Glastonbury but gotten into them since then

You'll have to report back here in terms of how the Ritz is these days after that gig, I've been less than impressed by silly overcrowding/overheating and belligerent security in the past few years, so I've avoided it for a year. I now have tickets to see Metronomy there in December, truth be told, I wish they'd have played the far better Albert Hall instead, I imagine this is one that will sell out, so I'm a bit worried for how many warm bodies will be crammed in like tinned fish, everybody in their winter woollies and radiating heat. People having to step outside the Ritz to cool down during a big gig is a story I'm very used to hearing now.

I thought Metronomy was at the Albert Hall? Sure I seen a poster or something saying it was there anyway.

[Amy Lawn]

Ha. Just checked and it is at the Albert Hall! Success!

[Amy Lawn]

It'll be full of dorks standing still, so you'll be fine.

65daysofstatic playing 2 sets in one night at Manchester Cathedral, the first being Fall Of Math in full!?

FUCKING YES! THANK YOU JESUS!

[atomised]

That sounds like it'll be a wonderful gig, near perfect setting for them

[atomised]

I'm going to Riot festival in September in Denver. Mostly for The Cure but plenty of great bands across the 3 days. Can't wait to see Weezer

[t8yman]

Mastodon in Brum in November. Sublime. Thats all, a bit of a gig drought for me at the moment.

[russycarps]

Neutral milk hotel tomorrow night. Can't bloody wait. And to think I only got into them about six months ago.

enjoy mate, they were sensational when I saw them the other month. Still cant believe I've actually seen those songs live.

[kaosmark2]

I went to NMH as well. Fantastic.

[zero000]

Just booked for Jonny Greenwood & The London Contemporary Orchestra in Manchester. Should be pretty cool, I love Manchester and the Albert Hall sounds like a really nice venue.

[t8yman]

Just booked for Kerbdog at the Ritz in Manchester, supported by Amplifier, Hawkeyes, Nine Black Alps. Fucking brilliant, I've wanted to see Kerbdog for years, and for them to have 2 other bands on that I love is awesome.

[kaosmark2]

First time I've ever been in that venue too. Much better than the refectory upstairs I think.

I've been to both a few times, but yeah, definitely the better of the union venues.

[Ed209]

Jane's Addiction playing Nothing Shocking in full at Brixton tonight. Very much looking forward to this one.

[thegremlin_1999]

Opeth in Cologne in October.

Plus seeing my best mate who lives there for the first time in about 18 months too.

Awesome stuff!

[Ipayne]

Jane's Addiction playing Nothing Shocking in full at Brixton tonight. Very much looking forward to this one.

Saw them at Manchester the day after, Spectacular. One of the best live shows I've seen, the whole band were on great form.

[Ed209]

Yeah, they really were excellent. They were on great form. They all seemed in really high spirits and looked like they were just having a lot of fun. Makes a big difference.

[Gnomicide]

Gutted I missed the Jane's Addiction gigs. Nothing's Shocking is one of my all time favourite albums and their gig at Manchester International 2 on the Ritual tour is still up their in my top 5 ever gigs. Astounding stuff.

The holy shits tomorrow in brighton

[russycarps]

I'm going to see "an intimate evening with art garfunkel" this week. I'm dreading it, his voice is still shagged so it's likely going to be a Q+A, prose and poetry reading.

Load of shite!

Very odd gig. His voice is clearly not up to it and the poetry and anecdotes between songs were largely tedious.

but the rendition of for Emily wherever I may find her was absolutely perfect, spellbinding and brought a lump to my throat and made my heart pound. One of the greatest things I've ever heard. It made it all worthwhile.
