Tommy101 Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Started listening to Yak this week and it turns out that they are playing in my neck of the woods this evening. Love a last min ticket purchase - so much more exciting than buying tickets months in advance and forgetting about them until you see an event in the calendar.

Saw them daytime Holts and evening Park last few years and loved both, but the Park was better for me. I agree, and I think that's mainly down to the setting; darker, more intimate. This gig was the same just better. Also, the final run of songs was brilliant. I won't spoil that for you though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they get a night time or at least a tent at Glastonbury. Works so much better. Nice to hear it Scruff, glad they delivered. How were Hookworms etc.?

grumpyhack Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Taking my daughter to see Show of Hands in Cardiff at the start of November to give her a night off from the twins. SoH are still one of my favourite bands yet Charlie has managed until now to escape being dragged to see them. Also got the Saw Doctors, one of the great festival bands, at the end of November.

russycarps Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 khruangbin in islington tomorrow. Cant wait! Small venue with good sound, the bassist is dreamy, good selection of pubs nearby. Perfect gig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big__phil Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Car Seat Headrest tickets bought this morning for the end of Smarch (fingers crossed the weather isn't lousy). Not exactly local, but a good reason to go to Leeds (where I've never been to before) for the weekend. I never had a chance of seeing them when they were on at 11:00am at Glasto this year. Glad to be putting that right. Album of the year, for me. Glass Animals a couple of weeks before should be great as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm thinking of the right band then not what id usually go for but really really good stuff. Love a good unexpectedly great support band.

They were at Glastonbury twice this year, park stage openers and, bafflingly, in the dance village too! Great times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although all my openers for each day were quite rightly occupied at West Holts (actually made time for Car Seat Headrest before Anna Meredith on the Saturday though) and my travels rarely took me by the dance village; I'm a creature of West Holts and surrounding parishes you know.

mjsell Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Only two gigs on the horizon currently. Crazy P in November and Chems in December. Really need to start getting more tickets for things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had as good a time as a man can have when he's forced himself out of bed at the ungodly hour of 11am at Glastonbury. They were pretty much how you'd expect, very solid sound and tunes, but a half an hour early shift doesn't really give anybody much room to be anything more than decent. I expect they'll be a really good night out for their own gigs, and I hope tickets don't sell out before I can get in a position where they're a justifiable purchase for me. I don't regret sacrificing the first song of Anna Meredith's set for them, and she was an overall weekend highlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 just booked to see John Cale do The Velvet Underground & Nico in May. probably wouldn't have bothered if it was anywhere else but it being in Liverpool and such a rarity forced my hand - would be silly not to go. he better not go announcing a bunch more shows! interested to see what guests he brings out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdly I'm going there tonight to watch Nao. I saw Wild Beasts in there and they use the Marble Factory side for gigs (the 2nd room without the balcony). Pretty decent sound and plenty of space, I'd take it over the academy, 100 times over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good gig? Plenty of love for her album in these forums! To be fair, standing outside the academy staring at a wall and listening through the fire escape can often be a better experience than being in the academy.

Not the type of gig I would usually go to, so it was quite refreshing to go and watch some new R&B! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy101 Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats were fantastic last night. Anyone seeing them on the remainder of this tour should get down early and see Ed Harcourt, he was great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Lawn Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Paul Simon was absolutely sensational in Manchester tonight. One of the best shows I've seen in ages. His band are incredible, he's still full of eeneg, absolutely relishing being on stage, his voice is really really strong, and he's got the best fucking arsenal of tunes in the game. That was a proper feelgood party set, it's begging out to be taken to festivals. Whichever UK fest bags him to headline has my money, no questions asked.
