Quite fancy Amsterdam for this.

Saw them in 2015 with KoRn as support for like £40 which I thought was a bargain. Somehow don’t think they’ll be nearly as cheap or be supported by anybody nearly as established/worth the £££ this time so reckon I’ll pass.

Hot Chip have announed a new Manchester date on 25th... a little frustrating as I bought London tickets for Oct 26th earlier in the week! Bah, nevermind! 

Was in the process of umming and ahhing over going to one of their other dates and then saw this. Weird that they held it back, but I’m glad I didn’t go for another venue. Sometimes it pays off having no money.

True but I think you can gauge the venues for most cities.

Slipknot in the Royal Albert Hall...

I then proceeded to tie it into a long weekend, the post-Hot Chip part in the form of a couple of days away as a present for the girlfriend's birthday (Paris for a couple of days). I did this to accomodate Hot Chip in London. I just wanted to see Hot Chip, it wasn't supposed to pan out that way, but gave us an excuse to be in London.

Now I have no money.

It's due to Blue Dot. Similarly their Ally Pally date was held back until after APE. 

Fortunately someone on here (can't remember who) had posted the "missing" dates when the initial ones were announced so I held off. Will be picking up tickets on Tuesday.

Thanks for the additional info. Must have missed that earlier post. Nevermind, Ally Pally has usually delivered for a venue so am sure it will be a great gig regardless!

Oooooh! The ones that got away (along with SOAD)!

Must be the arena in Sheffield? And Glasgow hydro?

Now, can I find some aging nu-metal fan friends in Glasgow by 2020....

Charli XCX and Hot Chip within a week of each other, ay carumba!

Did Hot Chip lose out massively to Chem Bros at the fest? I haven't really seen anything about that gig.

Hot Chip did pretty well in the voting post fest.

My bad. Just had a look and they did just that. Was gonna say it must have been all the quiet eFesters but Lawn gave them 2nd place.

It was pretty packed from the sound desk and down but really sparse behind. 

Absolutely phenomenal show though

I'm in New York, New York for a few days end of October. Looking at potential gigs, Maribou State are playing during our time there. Can anyone vouch for them being a decent pick?

Maribou State were in my top 3 for the weekend at Glastonbury. Desperate to see them again!

I watched them and thought they were alright without being amazing.

It was bonkers paper gay. Shorter and punchier than their usual sets, but I don't think I've ever been filled with so much unbridled joy whilst watching a show. Perfect confluence of favourite band, great spot, wholesome atmosphere, residual buzz from Ibibio Sound Machine tearing it up right before, and the half a litre of rum I chugged before the came on stage. 

Might hit up the Barrowlands, never been before but one of my sisters lives in Glasgow so now is the time.

What’s Ezra Furman like live? Considering going to see him but money is tight and I wasn’t sure what his live show would be like?

When I’ve seen him at his own shows he’s played for well over 2 hours. If that’s suits you then great, but personally I get a bit bored after that long. He’s good and raw though.

He's ace, and he didnt play 2 hours when I went to see him, which was last year in Newcastle. First solo gig and felt fully justified taking the risk. His recent output hasn't matched previous but he's still a good watch. Not shy of a cover as well.

Brilliant.

Not sure if already posted but Kano’s tour goes on sale tomorrow. 

[TheBurns]

Went to Ezra last night in Dublin and he was excellent as always, one of my favourite live acts. He also seems to cost significantly less than most people playing here which I appreciate.

Yeah I can imagine that would be a bit intense, thanks for the heads up.
