Unlikley mate, they play Manchester 16th, same night as Psych Fest

Aquarian-Time

Next gig is Tyler Childers in Manchester on Jan 18th, then the small matter of Ride in Berlin on Feb 2nd !!

I noticed I hadn't posted about the Ride show in Manchester, probably gig of the year for me.

Aquarian-Time

The highlight for me though is 'Mom's Song'. The kind of tune that makes you want to form a band and then jam out said song for 20 minutes, finally walking off stage leaving the audience a gleaming, beaming wreck. this is also rather close to a dream of mine... rather hampered by my spectacular lac...

Aquarian-Time

Only 23 gigs for me, about half my normal tally (although played 19 gigs myself so that explains the decline in numbers) Finished the year off with a fine Steve Mason show at the Pink Room, Yes, Manchester,. Just Steve, a backing singer and a guy on keys and percussion. Wonderful show, one of those ...

Aquarian-Time

sorry I meant Thumper

Aquarian-Time

I Love the Ride stuff, yeah its not the 1st album, but these guys are about 50 years old and still know how to hit it hard live. That said they should look at a different producer, its just a bit wishy washy at times on record. Lanegan, I may miss as a) its a Sunday b) the album is poo c) I'm out ev...

Aquarian-Time

Quality release that Ad's awesome stuff, cannot fault your thinking on that

Aquarian-Time

Finishing the year with Ride in Manchester, Mark Lanegan (same venue) (although i really cant get into his new album) and Steve Mason @ yes in Manchester.

Aquarian-Time

Rose City Band, W H Lung, Moon Duo, Steve Gunn, Fontaines DC, Murder Capital are all in my top whatever Saw W H Lung last night celebrating their Piccadilly Records Album of the year, a free show at the Night and Day in Manchester, really good band, very synth, Kraut with a good dollop of psych guit...

Just purchased this (albeit in Eucalyptus colour)

Missus has no idea of the real cost and that is how it shall remain

Aquarian-Time

Astral Elevator's Psych Rising Festival in Manchester this Saturday, whats even better is we get paid and get some free beers, go on stage first and then i can enjoy all the bands. Sounds like a plan Looking forward to The Kundoline Genie, Servo and The Telescopes If anyone is thinking of going and ...

Aquarian-Time

This album has now been listened to 4 times and has finally cracked it. Tails off slightly at the end, last tune is needlessly 8 minutes and doesn't really go anywhere but so many highlights, play it loud though, you hear so many different layers, far better production than the last LP, just seems h...

Aquarian-Time

Really like this, although Im listening to quite a good chunk of ambient techno so it has a similar if more balearic vibe to it

Aquarian-Time

The Warlocks and The Stevenson Ranch Davidians @ Yes (Pink Room), Manchester Bit of alst minute call to go to this as after a few Bobby H's tantrums over the years, I have had diminishing returns on their shows No need to worry though, this was superb. Best I have seen them, good mix of stuff coveri...

Aquarian-Time

Its a solid 7/10 for me, Yeah the Sonic Youth one, is that 15 minutes ? Its Ok, some good noisy bits on the album that will come over far better live and without that nonsense producer at the helm. Jump Jet is my favourite track and that will be superb live also Eternal Recurrence is pretty shoegaze...

Aquarian-Time

Yeah I forgot Bodega, that was on my list, will check out Viagra Boys too if now clashes. I do think its a pretty varied line up and plenty of stuff I really like so looking forward to it for sure. Going back to YLT, my take is you always need to be close to the front when watching them, due to the ...

Aquarian-Time

To answer and add some thought on YLT last night, i thought it was wonderful, however I was at the front and could hear everything perfectly, my mate went to the bar and said you couldnt hear anything from the floor, so i totally get Runcible's point. The show ended just short of 2 hours and the cha...

Aquarian-Time

YLT at Brudenell tomorrow then off to End of The Road Festival (Spiritualized, Wand, Kikaguko Moyo, Steve Gunn, William Tyler, Beak, Fontaines DC, Low, Courtney Barnett, Goat Girl, Tyler Childers all among the acts I aim to see) Later in the year We have Mark Lanegan, Ride, Moon Duo, Black Mountain ...

Aquarian-Time

They are headlining but there are two stages (right next to each other, so one band set up whilst one plays so no missing anything) Telescopes are the other headliners
We are playing too, early ish probs 2nd or 3rd on in the afternoon

Aquarian-Time

They are about to be announced headlining a certain Psych type event in the North West, that may or may not be October 5th.....

Aquarian-Time

hmmm, i'm sure theres issues regarding the reunion split including a drink driving conviction and punching someone which has been politely surpassed in that interview..... Yes that's pretty much the version I was told by a credible source, I think the lack of disclosing said conviction on the Visa ...

Aquarian-Time

Well in fairness having read that she touches upon why they split up the 2nd time, there is bit more to it than whats on paper but its true what she says. That said that really is an excellent piece, superbly crafted and a good read, I always enjoyed her lyrics, she does write well. Maybe I give the...

Aquarian-Time

I know exactly why they split, haven't read the article yet, so will dive in now, if its come from Miki then it will be a watered down version with lots missed out. Incidentally I caught Piroshka in Manchester a little while back, musically excellent but the songs were a bit bland and I got a bit bo...

Aquarian-Time

I'm on vocals.

Aquarian-Time

Yep, the Psych revolution has hit the buffers I think, sold an absolute truck load. Recent purchases (well Friday) BJM new album Stephen malkmus new one Cocteau Twins new reissues for Milk and Kisses and Four calender cafe Howe Gelb new one White Denim new one Pye Corner Audio new one The Fall (Bend...

Aquarian-Time

Right I was going to avoid doing this on here as I doubt its everyone's bag but to hell with it, all friends here aren't we ? We have been gigging/writing/recording for a while and finally we have something out there, if we can crank up the download sales then we will press this up on vinyl or at le...

Aquarian-Time

Jon, Dream Syndicate, lets do that. But wait a bit to see if they add anymore dates. Scala is a big ish venue so worth hanging fire on

Aquarian-Time

Bob Mould this Sunday in Manchester, followed by Kristin Hersh in Salford on Friday. Piroshka at the end of the month along with Sunday days session of 6Music festival, Cope, Clinic and a few others of interest appearing Tricky to book things with certainty for me now as we (our band) are getting mo...

Aquarian-Time

I'm led to believe definately no psych fest

EOTR festival ticket procured, minus wife and kids, not quite sure how i managed to pull that off!

Aquarian-Time

Aquarian-Time

I can’t disagree with The David Baker stance as I wasn’t there. I got into the Rev just before they released Deserters Songs and was lucky to see them twice on two trips they made over here with Flaming Lips as support. I was hooked and despite diminishing returns on more recent albums, their live s...

Aquarian-Time

TFC at Manchester next Mon, Tue and Wednesday after that Mogwai and Twilight sad in Luverpool Putting on Sunstack Jones at salty Dog in Northwich on Nov 16th for those that like Real Estate, The La's, Hanging Stars, The Byrds, The Feelies etc etc you get the vibe Also tickets for Mercury Rev, Ride A...

Aquarian-Time

Yeah have tickets for all 3 in Manchester, not convinced i will make the 3rd one, but deffo not missing the first two. Looking forward to it

Aquarian-Time

We rehearse at Si Jones place sometimes (as well as place in Macclesfield which is great), he never ever mentions the Verve, he talks about Nick sometimes(they are supposedly getting together with Pete to do something, don't hold your breadth though), doesn't get drawn into slanging matches and it g...

Aquarian-Time

Have just ordered the REM at the BBC one 8cd/dvd. Looks great. Couldn't resist Have been digging a bit deeper into the Pink Floyd early Years box from 18 months or so ago, some real gems on there. My interest piqued after a fantastic nick mason's SOS gig in Manchester recently, could not recommend t...

Aquarian-Time

Mark lanegan @ Duke Garwood At RNCFM, Manchester New album hadn't grabbed me so was little concerned when i learnt the set was split into 2 halves, 1st album and then second album straight through. I need not have been so worried, as the finest voice in Rock and in tandem with of the most accomplish...

Aquarian-Time

Yeah, Sam the bass player is a good pal of mine and through him I know Rich reasonably well now. (They are in the Lightshines as well, although has taken a back seat for now)
Hoping to entice them North early next year to play for me at the Salty Dog in Northwich

Aquarian-Time

Yeah saw Matt Hollywood in London at the splendid Shacklewell Arms. Main draw for me was Asteroid#4 whom I had seen in Manchester the Saturday previous. Nice mix in both their gigs, mainly drawing from last 3 albums. Great psych cosmic desert vibes. They are a great bunch and they were super tight i...

Wooden ships Manchester this Saturday,also at the Astral Elevator weekend psych thing although probably swerve the Sunday finishes far too late for a school night Suede at Leeds Brudenell doing the new album plus a greatest hits type encore Mogwai in Liverpool Mark Lanegan and Duke Garwood in Manche...

Aquarian-Time

in a totally different weird life type place compared to a year ago, so was unsure what I would make of this

But some things you can just count on

Its awesome

Hurrah

Aquarian-Time

Yeah Mark Peters album is great, put him on at our local in march and it was great, played a couple of engineers songs instrumentally and reworked. Chatham Rise are great not got that yet New purchases include Oh Sees new one Teenage Fanclub re-issues thirteen, grand prix, songs from etc etc and how...

Aquarian-Time

Not feeling this at all, I hope I'm wrong

Aquarian-Time

Yeah Bardo Pond, quite outstanding Leeds Brudenell Fri 8th June Braved the M62 on a Friday at rush hour(s) and strapped myself in for nigh on 2 hours of sonic bliss. No support, so we got The Pond on at 9.05 and they were done for 10.50 ish. Mesmeric is the word I will use. The layers of volume they...

Aquarian-Time

Been a little quiet of late, had a couple of Mind Exodus gigs of my own Cat Called Dog and Bones Shake, plus a great set from Mark Peters (some of it was a lovely ear spltting MBV style of ambient, many on here will approve) at the Salty Dog in Northwich Also caught Goat Girl in Liverpool (remind of...

Aquarian-Time

Yeah Follakzoid lost a heap of fans last time I saw them. Coments I heard were,”they could do with learning another song” The guitarist (if thats what you call him) tried to make the whole thing about him, bizzare dancing, not actually playing much and twiddling with his guitar pedals, bass player l...

Aquarian-Time

Soon as i have it mate will drop you a text. No problem pal

Aquarian-Time

Ticket procured for Leeds

Aquarian-Time

They still had it at (FUI) Piccadilly Records and Vinyl Exchange, I can grab you a copy if you want mate?

Aquarian-Time

Yeah there are 2 Manchester Psych Fests. Astral Elevator are doing a weekend one 15/16 sept, which works well as wooden Shjips are playing Gorilla (5 mins walk away from venue) on the Sat night. Holy Wave, The Janitors among many others. I booked one of the bands for my Mind exodus nights last week,...

Yep, I was logging on every day to see when it was back up and running, many thanks for doing so, hugely appreciated I know by many RSD was a decent this year, the usual sat outside Picc Records at 2.45 am !! Neil Young, Spectrum, Liminanas, Goat, Popul Vuh, Spiritualized (yes its an excellent remas...

Aquarian-Time

I posted the set for the Salty Dog on www.setlist.fm, identical for Friday and Monday (they think anyway, I couldn't hear any differences) Finished both nights with When You're In, they normally play it when I see them, but I am normally pissed at this point and shouting loudly for it ! Really nice ...

Aquarian-Time

Carlton Melton @ Soup Kitchen, Manchester last Friday. Excellent support from Plank, who really seem to have found a new level, they were astonishing at times,blending so many styles into their standard instrumental set, I was found struggling to put a finger on who if anyone they reminded me of. Ca...

Aquarian-Time

New Calexico is really good. The last 2 or 3 have been more traditionally song based but this one has all sorts going on. Admittedly not the same as Hot Rail (played that today) but rewarding nonetheless. Road Head is the song that got me into Japanese Breakfast. Looking forward to seeing them live ...

Aquarian-Time

Listening to Dream Syndicate (bit late on these) at the moment Medicine show in particular is a belting album. Not got the first album yet, i believe thats the album to have (enjoyed what i have heard of the new album too) Hopefully catch them in UK if they come back. New Calexico album is quite spl...

Aquarian-Time

My Loveless copy arrived today, along with a tax bill

The latter was for last year and this year, so currently in little mood to listen to anything other than my own screams of anguish !!

Aquarian-Time

Currently really enjoying the new BRMC album. Easily their best for a good while.
Also liking The Acetone retrospective.

Aquarian-Time

Glad i have sold my ticket now (other than a good catch up with sunray of course)

Sunday look so unappealing, Saturday is OK, Friday not bad. Hills dropping out is the big one for me, ver strange as sunray says when Goat are playing

Hills and The Heads playing, that would be different

Aquarian-Time

I only latched onto The Rev when they first released Deserters Songs, would loved to have heard/seen some of the early incarnations chaos. That said Deserters Songs would work well in such intimate surroundings, a lovely record it has to be said. They have produced great moments on all subsequent re...

Aquarian-Time

Really liking what I have heard of Goat Girl, all 3 singles are blinding. They have a tour in Spring so either Liverpool or Manchester for me I reckon

Aquarian-Time

I will have a word with Tom as I will more than likely be at one of his Liverpool Gigs in the next month or two, he is usually good for an exclusive !

Aquarian-Time

Thought he may pull it this year. When I spoke to him just before the Festival in the summer he intimated he was running out of bands. I think a year off, you can pull in some regular acts but it also gives ample time for some new movers and shakers to crop up. I think it's a good call. We all agree...

Aquarian-Time

as Modlab rightly states, you can upgrade your existing Classic. I did that with a Company on the South Coast, doubled the memory pretty much and practically rebuilt the thing to boot
