[Gilgamesh69]

I saw Pixies last night and David Byrne the night before. Anyone else seen either of them on this tour? What did you think?

Pixies discussed a few posts up, Byrne in the West Holts thread.

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.

They're not on the European leg but in for the rest of the UK

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.

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

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.

It's their new EP that you might need to dig out.

I'm guessing there isn't a pre-sale for these Massive Attack shows, other than o2 priority?

I don’t know why we don’t have a dedicated gig review thread.

Just £110 a ticket btw if anyone wants to stand at the front for The Courteeners at Heaton Park.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Though they'll be able to see your lips moving and the whites of your eyes when you place the Baldness Curse on them.

[Guy Incognito]

David Byrne was fucking great again last night. 

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.

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.
