Bugger it. Just checking egigs to see what's on the horizon in Brighton, had completely missed the fact that they're playing Concorde2 tonight. Obviously it's sold out....

Go onto Twickets and set up an alert, they've been selling tickets for Manchester and London all week

Good shout

Thought they were great last night! Had a lot of fun and it was cool seeing them in such a small venue. Set was quite short but very enjoyable. I liked the new songs (need to give em more of a listen) and I liked the Sabotage cover. It was fun. Bagged a setlist:

Despite that though I think I'm still going to see Hopkins. Hope it's not a full clash so can maybe catch the end of these guys or something.

They covered Sabotage?! That could change my mind ?

Although Lauren was playing Jon Hopkins on 6music as I read that and I think that'll still be my choice. Hopefully catch Hot Chip at APE.

Not sure why I keep torturing myself by coming into this thread when I'm gonna end up at The Killers with the missus. Fingers crossed for a London date being added to that tour 

[Yokel Again]

Now playing Bristol in Oct, so might go to that to take out the clash dilemma!

Is Sarah Jones with them?

[Guy Incognito]

what time have they been coming on stage?

Came on about 9:15 last night, but there were massive queues. No Sarah Jones which was definitely to their slight detriment, great gig though.

915pm roughly to about 1045pm

The queue last night was painfully slow and long and trying to leave the place was a bloody shambles ... but apart from that it's a top venue.

And while I'm being grumpy, the set could've been a couple of songs longer as it came in at under 1 hour 20 mins (9:20 to 10:40 I made it). It's not as is they don't have the tunes.

Anyhow, here's a couple of piccies ......

Not at Manchester. Apparently the "new" guy played on many of their records according to Alexis.

Saw the (brilliant) gig in Glasgow on Monday and wrote a review so researched the drummer. It’s Leo Taylor from the band The Invisible, he has played on HC records and toured with them when they first added a live drummer. 

According to his instagram he’ll be with them through to at least Blue Dot.

Found this for anyone that wants to hear part of Sabotage.

The queue was partly so bad I think because security were insisting on seeing photo ID for everyone, or at least they were when I went in. I didn't have any and had to leave the queue temporarily to search through old emails for a scan I knew I had of my passport. Pretty stupid. They guy swore blind that this was a condition of entry, but it said nothing on my ticket and we didn't have it or Underworld in December,  I'm pretty sure. Buried on the VU website Ts and Cs it says staff "reserve the right to request photographic ID" - if it is a condition of entry they should surely make this clearer before you arrive. Anyway. I love the venue otherwise.

He said that to the guy in front of me too, but then let him in without it anyway.

Yeah I got the feeling he might, but I knew I had a scan so thought I'd just comply. Not to say I didn't have a good moan about it, though...

That's the way London is these days unfortunately.  Almost every single venue checks ID regardless of age.

Obviously I don't go out enough as it hasn't happened to me much!

Any thoughts as to why they've ignored the North on the tour...? 

[Zoo Music Girl]

Just watched the video. I think it's quite entertaining

Great song too.
