Not in the same location but run by the same team, as far as I know. Never been before but have tickets for Oh Sees, Squid, Celeste and BC,NR there, so to see The Cribs there would be mad!

I'm trying to remember now if I've been there since it changed from Haunt to Chalk. My timelines over the last year or so are completely buggered! Going to aim for a ticket for that tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracking tune, and a very relevant title at the moment. Will be interesting to hear their new material and see how they take off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've been following their releases for a while now and liked the sound of them but only realised until today, haha. Agreed, I can see them doing quite well.

Padjeq Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 She's just won that special BRIT award. Says Brum Academy 3 here, but Institute 3 on the ticket website, so who knows. I'll go if it's at the academy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know more bands are playing it now, but last couple of times I've been to a gig there (been a few years now) the sound quality was shocking. Probably fine for club nights, but one of the gigs was Airborne Toxic Event, and you couldn't make out the violin or the vocals half the time. Would definitely like to see Griff, but currently put off due to the above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last gig I went to pre-Covid was Caroline Polachek at Heaven on 11/3. From what I remember (given it was over a year ago now) the sound was good. Or more to the point, not noticeably bad. I was fairly close to the right, almost below a speaker. Watched a couple clips I took and you can hear the bass rattle but yeah, I wouldn't say the sound was awful 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume The Oh Sees will be postponed though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really good news from the point of view that Manchester's Deaf Institute looked doomed a year ago, so it's definitely returning.

Don't rate The Roundhouse though, vertical beams easily get in the way and I feel outside of the gig if further back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't an acoustic set I would 100% be copping that ticket and checking which wheelie bin I'm meant to put vinyl in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 I'm eager to find out if they've genuinely put their take on 'In the Hall of the Mountain King' after a song called 'We Never Have Sex Anymore'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I'm the same - I need to stay in Leeds when I go for gigs and am already heading over for Maximo Park and Cribs Crash records shows whenever they happen, would only do an offspring full gig!

Not been the Apollo for music - only time there was to see an all seater comedy gig in 2015. Birmingham O2 Academy interests me more if I'm honest, as that is a pretty cool venue. Sound for Chvrches there was great. Though a friend was more excited by the idea of trying for Dublin. Which I can imagine will be a very cold holiday in January, if only as a trip there in December 2018 for a stag party proved to me that I really don't have a winter wardrobe.

The Apollo is a great venue for music, it's got fantastic acoustics imo.
