Spiritualized

Shinesalight

Yup. Fully seated venue with visuals promised. If it's anything like the clip below I may just have to leave the car at home and settle down in a higher state :wink: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTVWJp7dmg0 Wow, just watched that clip and I really want a piece of that. Right up my street. I hope...

I think, even if some of us don't post or hang out as much as we used to, that we would miss this little corner of the web if it was gone so I too would be more than happy to contribute going forward and to recover costs already incurred by the generosity of others.

I'm kind of getting more psych-centric year on year so best of list for me is mainly focused on albums from that genre with a few notable exceptions. Anyway, here goes and in no particular order (although Kungens Man and Papir are personal highlights):- Kungens Man - Dag & Natt Papir - V Neil Yo...

I was liking the look of this too. Again, not a big fan of the Cure but was drawn to the Ride and Slowdive double-whammy. Be interesting if those 2 are on the "other stage" which is usually a large tent at Hyde Park.

Been playing the double CD of this in the car on my way to and from work for the last week or so. Cracking album. Need to pick it up on vinyl.

Shinesalight

Yeah, I'd love to see Earthless. Thinking of heading up for the London date.

Excellent stuff Greeny. You'll have to come and say hi. Hoping to have a few forumites along for the evening.

I've been running my record label, Drone Rock Records, for nearly 3 years now and to celebrate the label and some of the bands featured on it (and a couple who will hopefully feature on it in the future) I have organised a showcase gig in Brighton next February along with special headliners, Carlton...

Shinesalight

Cheers Paul and Olan. Looking forward to spinning this when it arrives

Shinesalight

Think I'm going to wait for the day splits and probably go on the day that Hills are playing (my favourite Rocket artist). Like you said Sighs, 3 nights staying in London or 3 days travelling up from Brighton and back on the train is going to be a bit much for me. Never say never though.

Shinesalight

This is (probably) the last Warmth album. I'd love to get some vinyl copies over to the UK if there's interest, but it obviously make sense to just do one shipment due to the expense. Stream it here: https://thewarmth.bandcamp.com/album/hot-milk Paul, I would like a vinyl copy. Obviously I would pr...

Shinesalight

Thanks. A quick look throws up Loop clashing with Gnod and White Manna with Pigsx7 :evil: Also disappointed that a lot of the stuff I was interested in appears to be on after midnight :roll: Yeah but Joycey, I thought you're the staying-up-late member amongst our rather lightweight posse! :lol: :wi...

Any news yet on whether Bardo Pond are support for the Brighton show? I've messaged the promoter but heard nothing

Sighs, do you know if Bardo Pond are supporting GY!BE on all their UK tour dates? They're playing The Dome in Brighton but can't seem to find out who is supporting.

I was at the Kill West gig last night too BrokenHeart. I've put out both Kill West EPs on my label Drone Rock Records and it was such a pleasure and thrill to finally meet and watch the boys in action. Was hoping to meet them for a few beers before the gig but they got stuck in traffic coming down f...

Kikakagaku Moyo were superb last week Sighs. Like you say, they seem to nail both the hard and soft versions of modern psych so well. Packed venue (prob 200 odd) and everyone really digging it. You should definitely go to the Brum gig if you can. Psychic Lemon were awesome as well and was a pleasure...

Shinesalight

Kikagaku Moyo tonight in Brighton. As some from the psych crowd on here will confirm, these guys are a must-see live. Really looking forward to it. Plus, Psychic Lemon, one of the bands I have put out on my record label, are supporting and its the first time I get to meet/see them

Shinesalight

Casau Sui, Papir and pretty much everything else on their parent record label, El Paraiso, are fantastic. I've got the live Causa Sui box set you speak off and the package as a whole is great. Such a great back catalogue for you to delve into. Enjoy.

Cosmic Dead last week in Brighton. Absolutely cracking gig. Band nearly didn't make it as they had only arrived in Dover from their Euro tour an hour or so before their set was due to start. I've seen theses guys 3 or 4 times now and they never disappoint and they have always thrown their all in to ...

Shinesalight

I must admit, like the first announcement, I wasn't exactly blown away. But, like Aquarian Time has pointed out, its always nice to find a gem or two on the undercard. Overall all its a mixed bag for me but still very much looking forward to it. I guess there was always going to be some of the same ...

That would be great if that is officially released, I'm sure I've got a load of those songs on the bootleg Chrome Dreams CD.

White Hills at The Hope and Ruin Brighton. Great gig with memories of early Hawkwind. Very small crowd , which was a bit disappointing .Lots of space rock. Overshadowed by the terrible atrocity happening 260 miles away in Manchester. R.I.P. I was hoping to come along to this but I've got Cosmic Dea...

My copy is waiting to be picked up the record shop. They were fantastic live the other week and I've been hearing great things about this record so must go and grab it as soon as I can. Just a bit cheeky that they've released them as two separate records when it would be cheaper for customers to pur...

Seeing Spectres for the third time in Brighton on Friday night, more because my friends are fans than me. They're always enjoyable/noisy but, like you say, bit samey after a while.

Moon Duo tonight which our very own Angelsighs is coming down for

Quite a few coming up in May including:-

Damo Suzuki with Zofff
The Cosmic Dead
Gnod
Hey Colossus

New Rega RP3 purchased today with funds from the record label

Necker Island coming next a la Branson

Am I right in thinking the Orb "headlined the other stage back in 1993 but Spiritualized came on after as a kind of "come down" band or I heard/read that wrong?

Shinesalight

Just seen the RSD prices.... £37 for the Black Angels!!! £26 for the Midlake!!! £24 for the Follakzoid/J Spaceman!!!

I was going to try and bit more positive about the whole thing this year but this is just ridiculous.

The days of me queuing outside the record shop on RSD have well and truly passed.

Theres ...

Shinesalight - Have you decided yet and, if so, what did you go for? Still thinking of going for the new Rega Planar 3. Think that best suits my budget at the moment and I may get the Rega Brio amp later in the year to go with it if I can raise the £'s. I don't really want to push the budget much f...

Ticket purchased, with slight reservations about first line-up announcement. Hoping for better with the next one though, like we always say, its more about the whole weekend rather than just the bands. Early bird tickets seem to go very quickly with very few people reporting they actually got hold o...

I'm looking at upgrading my stereo set up and thought this would be the best place for advice. I've currently got a Rega RP1 (with performance pack) going through an old Rotel RA 930 AX amplifier which I've had for at least 10 years and Q Acoustic 2020i's which I've had for a couple of years.

I think overall 2016 was a pretty decent year for music (trying to forget all the other nightmares going on around the world). I'm still buying way too much "psych" and I'm crap at narrowing down these end of year lists but here goes:- Top 10 albums (in no order) Teenage Fanclub - Here Dri...

Dead Meadow in Brighton tonight. Meant to be seeing The Warlocks in London tomorrow night but its been such a mental couple of weeks that I really don't have the energy for it and probably won't go.

Yeah, great gig and top night out all round. Great to catch up with Mr and Mrs Modlab and always a laugh when I hook up with Aquarian-time.

Tell me about it. I've recently been told that charges at the pressing plants have gone up by 6% due to Brexit. 6% may not seem al lot but my label only does pressing of 250-300 copies per record and that price increase could be the difference of breaking even or not. From a record buyers point of v...

BJM in Brighton on Wednesday night and, judging from the reports on here of their shows so far,looks like it should be a cracker of a gig

Shinesalight

Well, Dead Meadow have a show in Brighton on Sunday 25th September so they will be in the UK around Psych Fest time. Has Aquarian Time called it right?

Shinesalight

Certainly got a bit more of that old Stone Roses swagger/groove thing going on. Still a bit ploddy for me but fair play to them for putting new music out there....I for one never thought it would happen.

Got it on my birthday wish list (end of July) and very much looking forward to hearing it.

Kikagaku Moyo in Brighton on Monday night. I know a few people on the forum saw them in Manchester last night and were very impressed. I saw them in London a couple of years ago and was blown away by them so very excited about seeing them again (and then again at this year's Liverpool Psych Fest) 8)
