Alligator 

Boxer (almost tied 1st, but edged into second as Gospel doesn’t give it the big finish of Mr November)

High Violet 

TWFM

SWB

haven’t listened to the first two which is mental really considering how great the five above are. That’s on the to do list! 

 

Don't bother, unless out of curiosity about where they came from, as they don't begin to measure up.

When I got them I was about as obsessive a mega fan as you could get and I've only listened to them once each, twice at most! But they do sometimes bust out Available from Sad Songs which is alright.

Not yet, hoping that listing the right combination of albums will unlock it.

Started at 9:30 this morning, I think it's only through the Gigs and Tours website, See Tickets didn't work for me.

Yes please!!!

I am so fucking hyped for this gig.

[jyoung]

Got a feeling it could be a special one!

Celebrating getting tickets (thanks @huh? what?) by listening to High Violet in full at work. I have to say, the quality of each song is just sublime. It's amazing when you haven't listened to one or two for a while and then revisit them! Sensational band.

[Divein]

I might be more excited for this than I am for Glastonbury, cheers @huh? what?

Now to work out what holidays to book at work, stupid Wednesday gig.

[huh? what?]

Happy to help guys, this one should be special!

I'm just going to hope this isn't the only UK gig, I'm praying for that Green Man hint on twitter to be true.

Green Man is the same weekend as they play that festival in Portugal, although they did Primavera and APE back to back last year so it's possible.

Yeah it puts them in the frame and shows they're srill available in August.
