Staves and First Aid Kit in Brighton tonight were fucking immense (think it was @GETOFFAMYLAWN singing FAK's praises?). Absolutely amazing vocals from both bands, and all 5 of them getting together to do a Lykke Li track was prob the highlight of the evening.

I thought Staves had left the tour?

Going on Sunday, looking forward to it.

Really looking forward to Cambridge on Saturday.... a ton of vocal talent on stage.

I saw them on Friday and they were fucking great.  Maybe a couple of setlist quibbles, but they didn't forget to pack their pipes.

Didn't really know enough (or anything in  the case of Staves!) about them or the catalogue to have any thoughts on the setlist tbh, which was kinda nice in a way. But yep, 5 fantastic sets of lungs on 'em.

Seen them last year on the Pyramid and they smashed it (amazing vocals) so will be interesting to see the setlist comparison but i'm sure it will be new album heavy this time around which is fine by me. Looking forward to seeing them again on Sunday.

A few Black Midi dates have just been announced, I'll be sure to get a Brighton ticket before they sell out.

Great shout, cheers for the heads-up. Definitely be up for the Joiners gig in Southampton. Seen these at GM and EotR and they're really worth a look.

It's a good week for music.

Superorganism were a lot better on Saturday than expected after being slated on here but it was in a room where only about 30% of the tickets had sold. Never seen an indoor gig with so much empty space.

Dream Wife were alright on Monday, but were outclassed by their support Queen Z in my opinion. Also a lot of middle aged men with their hands in their pockets 'phwoaring' at the lead singer - I'm not sure if they quite got the band's vibe.

Excited for Goat Girl tonight - one of my AOTY so far.

Alas Childish Gambino has postponed his show on Sunday which I was looking forward to as well. Oh well spreads things out into the spring a bit at least.

No worries, most exciting up and coming band on the planet right now! Have caught them a few times including EoTR and they never disappoint, such an interesting and compelling band. 

I'd suggest getting tickets as soon as you can, their Electrowerkz gig sold out very quickly.

did black midi stop taking the piss and release some music yet or nah? they were great at eotr

Haven't heard anything else yet but assuming they must have more or the gig will be a short one. Maybe they'll be flogging some albums.

    • sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.
    • Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.
    • I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…
    • Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.
    • Citizenship via investment programs basically work by saying if you invest this much in our economy (say buy a property worth x) then we will either grant you citizenship or residency with a route to it. The EU has rules on how low countries can set the bar. Montenegro was one of the easier ones to get and they've had to tighten it up.
