Got any gigs coming up?

[atomised]

I do like the atmosphere at the Garage, for some strange reason I've never made it to Koko.

[Babyquack]

I liked the Roundhouse more the first time I went there than I have lately. Something about it has started to annoy me.

Scala's cracking.

Never been to Scala - going for the first time soon to see RXBandits though

[jump]

I like Scala except that it's too much of a pain to get a drink, Underworld is probably my favourite venue because it's the one I have been to the most.

Editors tonight again, yawn!!!

Bullet for my valentine and shed seven coming up in December.

Underworld - Sticky floors, horrendous toilets, permanent odour of b.o., urine and stale beer. I fucking love it. Proper gig venue.

Me to, nice and small but the bar is still great, it's easy to be in the crowd and go to the bar

And yes Brixton is great, think it has a strong argument for best. It's at that size, where it feels like a "big gig" without feeling like your miles from the stage.

I'm off to The Fratellis at Shepard's Bush on sunday! (I've grown out of love with this venue in the last couple of years )

I've never been a fan of Shepherd's Bush. Nice size, but I don't think the sound is brilliant, and unless you're near the front it's a bit of a crap atmosphere.

Seeing QOTSA tonight

[jump]

Snap, I'm seeing them tonight too. I think Ed going aswell.

[Ed209]

Yup!

Bloody love Queens. Proper excited. Have fun kids!

[kaosmark2]

Qotsa were fantastic. Storming display, loved every minute of it. Gutted they didn't play I appear missing but got a fest selection of rated r songs which was a nice surprise.

What the fuck was that wristband bollocks though?

[MrZigster]

Wristband bollocks has happened at the last two or three gigs I have been to.

It seriously held up entry to Wembley for The Wall (not really helped by the traditional laidbackness of the people doing the wristbanding).

Same with Happy Mondays this week (in a really tiny venue).

I think it may have something to do with having to go outside for a smoke these days.

[kaosmark2]

It's crazy that everyone has to get a wristband though, why not just those doing reentry?

[Ed209]

Wristbands are for standing only so they can easily spot seating people trying to get on the floor. Apparently.

Yup, Queens were amazing. I thought they'd be good, but I didn't think that good. That's the best ive ever seen them. Josh was obviously loving it too.

Great setlist too. Better Living Through Chemistry was huge!!

[kaosmark2]

Better Living Through Chemistry was just insane, highlight of the set. I was amazed they played it but even as a big fan of the song I didn't expect it to be that good live. Absolutely phenomenal.

[Ed209]

They played it at glasto 11 also. Highlight of that set there too.

Would have liked one track from QOTSA, instead of wit chu (not a big fan of that track). But can't fault it really.

Misfit Love is about the only song off Era Vulgaris I'd actively want to see live, was certainly excellent last night. Something off the self-titled would have been nice, and maybe one of the mellower ones off SFTD, but it was still stunning.

[jump]

Yeah Queens was fucking great, I didn't have a problem with wistbands and it's better than it use to be as they would take your tix away from you completely and give a wristband, then you'll have to find a steward after the show to get the tix back for a momento.

They had this gorgeous poster I wanted and decided to wait til after the show to get it incased in got bent in the crowd but I went to the merch stand and it was sold out.

Is that the one with the woman on the bike? No lie, I actually bought the last one

[viberunner]

Question - should I get tickets for the Primal Scream "official after party" or are those sorts of things invariably a puddle of shite?

[jump]

That was the one you lucky fucking bastard! I found the company that made it, Jacknife and they are charging £33 for it with shipping, I can't decided if it's worth it or not.

[MrZigster]

The Darkness tomorrow night in a great intimate venue.

I've been looking forward to this.

I'll be rockin' 'till the sun goes down.

[Osama Jim Laden]

Just got tickets for Chas n Dave.. Badass

[MrZigster]

Yeah Chas 'n'' Dave. I was lucky enough to catch them twice in a tiny pub just down the road from me and in a massive tent at Glastonbury within the space of a couple of years..

Ain't No Pleasin' You is a masterpiece.

With added Gertcha and Rabbit.

Editted to add that they were both umpteen sheets to wind when playing at said pub.

Excellent.. Wanted to catch them for years, they'll probably do Glastonbury again next year..

Agreed, Ain't No Pleasing You is beautiful
