Bizarrely he's playing locally to me in Essex at the indie disco venue I used to go to in my late teens/early 20's. I've not set foot in there since the mid 90's so should be interesting. I know he's quite a 'character' but does this result in bad show? Would be good to hear peoples views who've seen him before. Loads of friends going so will be a great evening whatever happens
You definitely won't need earplugs for him though.

Re: What gigs have you got coming up?
Holy holy.... Just got an email from the echo saying spectrum will be playing there April 23rd.... I cannot wait for Saturday morning when tickets go on sale.... This is amazing news, looking like I'm not going to be able to go to APF, and what with people wondering if the end of spectrum is near i was pretty bummed by the thought that i might never get to see pk as spectrum.... Honestly so happy right now.
Re: What gigs have you got coming up?
Latest additions to the list:
Thee Oh Sees in May. Can't wait for this, saw them once before and they were fantastic.
The Breeders playing Last Splash in June. It's on a Friday night two days after my exams end, so why not?
Also looking at Kid Congo & The Pink Monkey Birds in March but not got a ticket yet.
Turning out to be quite a busy year.

I'm taking my son to see Soundgarden tonight (Feb. 6).
I was never a big fan of them but he likes them and the tickets were his Christmas pressie from us.

Re: What gigs have you got coming up?
hey sorry I missed this. I didn't get there in time car got a flat tire it was a bit of a bummer. I just had bad luck the past week or two. The book signing was still going on once I had finally parked but I didn't really feel like shelling out for the book so I just sorta poked my head around the store for a while and just watched 'em for a while. Oh well. Ya win some ya lose some.

Re: What gigs have you got coming up?
Just booked Allah Las at Camden Dingwalls for May. Missed out on the last show in London due to it selling out so really looking forward to this one.
For the first time in ages I actually have a run of decent gigs to look forward to - Lee Scratch Perry, MBV, Sun Araw, Allah Las. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that Thee Oh Sees play a London date when they're over. That'd be the cherry on top of the cream.

Re: What gigs have you got coming up?
I've got a few things booked for April.
Six Spiritualized shows ( ) and possibly Nick Cave in Seattle, which works perfectly into my schedule. Then two days after I get back, I am for sure seeing Nick Cave in San Diego.
April is going to be great.

I'm still digesting Wonderful, Glorious. There are some wonderful tracks on it - Peach, Blossom, The Turnaround and the title track spring instantly to mind. Some of it sounds like by-numbers Eels, but that means it's still good stuff and enjoyable to listen to. As ever with E, I think it'll be a grower. I've only listened to the second disc once so far, but I really enjoyed what I heard.
Gigwise, I've just added The Wildhearts to my list. It's one of the "Earth Vs. The Wildhearts" 20th anniversary shows. Can't wait!
Re: What gigs have you got coming up?
If a gig can be summed up in one song....well, 'Trouble with Dreams' is it. It was absolutely stunning and it will blow you away! The beauty of this band is that they constantly re-work old familiar tunes and make them fresh again. The band is now a five-piece...no horns and no keys. So, three guitars and any song with keys is played through the guitars making it sound really cool (eg. 'Trouble with Dreams', which is mind blowing and 'The Sound of Fear', which ends with a blistering solo that sounded like the Electric Prunes!). They also did a medley/mixed up version of 'My Beloved Monster' and 'Mr. E's Beautiful Blues', which somehow worked perfectly. They threw in a couple great cover tunes, which worked better than the 'Summer in the City' covers played a couple years ago. This time it was a rockin' version of Fleetwood Mac's 'Oh Well' and a great singalong version of Small Faces, 'Itchykoo Park'.mc wrote:How was it? Can't wait until next monthredcloud wrote:Eels......tonight!
I know what you mean about the new album, but the new songs sounded super great last night. Mainly because they rocked them out and The Chet uses some mean fuzz with a beautiful warm tone. But, even the mellow songs like 'The Turnaround' had a new dimension to them. They played for just under 2 hours - the drum kit was on a riser to the left...E on a riser to the right, the other three on risers in the back. Be prepared for some good lights and healthy strobe action during 'Fresh Blood' and 'Souljacker'! Oh, and gone are the boiler suits/bandannas or business suits....they are all wearing matching Adidas track suits this time around but still have the sunglasses.
Here's somewhat of a spoiler though (but, don't turn away from this part).....they play three encores. However, after the second encore the lights go on, music is played and people start filing out. My son and I went down to the stage to see if we could get a set list (we couldn't) and they came back out with only half the crowd, roadies still pulling gaffa tape off etc. ! We were directly under Mark as they played a killer version of 'Stick Together' and then a jammy fun chant tune called 'Go EELS' with the house lights on and only about half the crowd! At the end of it Mark drops his pick in front of my son who grabbed it!
I think this is all part of the set...so, remember this next month - DON'T leave after the second encore!
Re: What gigs have you got coming up?
the warlocks apr. 21st @ subterranean- tickets bought! can't believe it's been almost four years since the last time i saw them.
also a dilemma-
black rebel motorcycle club are playing here on my birthday. haven't heard anything they've done since 'howl' but think it might be fun to finally catch them live as i like the first three albums more and more. my cousin is getting married on the day after my birthday out in monterey. it'll cost $550 to fly to it and i'd have to leave on my birthday at night. my wife can't afford to go with me (even if she could there's nowhere for us both to stay with any modicum of privacy) and in order for me to go i would have to max out one of my credit cards that i finally chipped down to a manageable balance. should i be selfish and skip the wedding and enjoy my birthday here in town with my wife and catch BRMC or should i max out my credit card to go to an incredibly religious wedding while sleeping on the floor of a house that my parents are renting for the week out there? when it's all written out the choice seems obvious enough. i usually only have a fun birthday once every 5-10 years it seems- i should probably make it a priority at this point.
also, i'm still going to try to get a ticket for tame impala on march 6th. this stop of theirs has a very 'now or never' kind of feeling- they seem to be leaving earth on a comet.

Re: What gigs have you got coming up?
Dude, don't max out your credit card to go to the wedding! Your family should understand. BTW, were you at the Double Door Warlocks show for the Phoenix album? That must have been 2003 or something like that? I recall that being a pretty awesome show.

Re: What gigs have you got coming up?
yeah my choice would be to treat yourself to the gig.. considering the expense and hassle involved getting to the wedding, they should understand.
I'd also thoroughly recommend BRMC as a live act. I'm not even that a big fan of them so it's not me being biased. when I saw them on the last tour they were great- tight and clear sounding, with a setlist that covered their whole catalogue.

Re: What gigs have you got coming up?
i didn't catch them on that tour. i was living in portland then and almost went to their stop there, but didn't end up going for some stupid reason i can't even remember now.TheWarmth wrote:Dude, don't max out your credit card to go to the wedding!

i've seen them six times and only one has been mildly disappointing- that was in 2005 at the metro for 'surgery.' they got a ton of crappy write-ups for that show so the turn-out was really bad. even at that show there were some really great moments that were totally mesmerizing, plus it's the only time i've seen them as a seven piece.
i'm probably going to end up going to BRMC. they're not my favourite band in the world, but i think it might be a fun way to spend my birthday. definitely more fun than spending all day on a plane.
Re: What gigs have you got coming up?
I think that is a very sensible decision. My take on it would be that I would always avoid the option that leads to me waking up up broke and hungover after a night's "sleep" on the floor, if the alternative is to wake up with the wife.....broke and hungover or not.shalloboi wrote: i'm probably going to end up going to BRMC. they're not my favourite band in the world, but i think it might be a fun way to spend my birthday. definitely more fun than spending all day on a plane.
BMRC were just great the last (only) time I saw them....much better that a wedding, even for a cousin I actually liked!

Re: What gigs have you got coming up?
Good call Shalloboi. I've seen BRMC twice (once on the Howl tour and once around the time Baby 81 was released) and they were great on both occasions. Much better to go to a potentially brilliant gig on your birthday than spend a fortune on a wedding, with loads of travel and crap sleeping arrangement. You've made the right choice. Have a brilliant time and Happy Birthday in advance.shalloboi wrote:i'm probably going to end up going to BRMC. they're not my favourite band in the world, but i think it might be a fun way to spend my birthday. definitely more fun than spending all day on a plane.

Re: What gigs have you got coming up?
Dude, it was a really great show and I will be interested to hear your thoughts and review when he rolls into Glasgow. Man, 'Trouble With Dreams' was sooooo good. The three guitars totally turned the song inside out and then represented it to us. The Turnaround' too just builds and builds live and eventually explodes to a mighty finish. Really great and one of the stand out tracks on the new album.mc wrote: Oh, this has really whetted my appetite for some Eels action!

Also, not sure if Fleetwood Mac's "Oh Well" will stay in the set, but if so be prepared to rock and swing your ass off to this one! The band totally kick it while Mark shakes and boogies with the maracas! Superb!

MBV next month , going solo for the first time in about 10 yr.which should be strange , then BRMC later in the month , both at the Barrowlands, then White Hills in April , nice run of bands
Re: What gigs have you got coming up?
March - June goes like this:
Zion Train
Kid Congo & The Pink Monkey Birds
Yo La Tengo
White Hills
Konono No1
K-X-P
Rocket From The Crypt ( Seems to be conflicting information as to whether this is going ahead or not ).
Michael Rother with Camera
Thee Oh Sees
The Specials
Conflict ( Second ever Irish appearance, the last one in 1984 apparently! Starts at 4pm! with a load of bands playing, including Subhumans ).
No Means No
The Breeders 'Last Splash' (Hoping the Fresh & Onlys are support for this as they announced a gig in Dublin for the same night but all info on that has disappeared)
Also considering Mike Watt's new band, Bob Log III, and Mountain.
2013 is turning out to be a very busy year!

Got both Hookworms and White Hills coming up at a lovely little venue down here in Brighton. Just found out that Eternal Tapestry are playing in Brighton in April too so it'll be 3 gigs in 2 weeks if I get a ticket. Will have to make sure I get Mrs Shines a decent Mothers Day pressie to ensure the pass required

Re: What gigs have you got coming up?
Just seen that The Flaming Lips have been added to the annual Brighton Festival (its more of a mixed arts kinda thing rather than a music festival, and goes on for the whole of May every year). I know they pretty much always split opinion on the forum but I don't think anyone can deny that they put on a great show. I've only seen them once and Mrs Shines has never seen them so may have to get tickets for this.

Re: What gigs have you got coming up?
Yeah, they were superb last yeat in Glasgow too... as were The Cosmic Dead who supported them. Would have loved the same line up this year, but TCD are off on their travels i believe shortly.

Re: What gigs have you got coming up?
I see the Besnard Lakes are touring soon- worth seeing?

Maybe Ladies & Gents at the National Concert Hall on August 10th then?sunray wrote:Not tonight you won't anyway! Gig postponed due to adverse weather conditions, they couldn't get over on the ferry. According to ticketmaster there will be a rescheduling announcement on Monday.Broc wrote:Might see you at this Sunray, should be good, I think Fade is great..sunray wrote:

Ticketwanker are the same as usual, not a peep from them since the postponement. I was really looking forward to that gig. They're playing Latitude in the UK around the 18th of July, maybe they might come over to Ireland for the re-scheduled show? Unfortunately (regarding the gig) I'll be on hols with the family around then, well till the 23rd anyway. Here's hoping!
Re: What gigs have you got coming up?
NCH it is then Broc!
Five days after Spiritualized we're getting the return to Dublin of Swans Then a week later its Tame Impala.
Normally nothing happens here, gig-wise, in August.

Re: What gigs have you got coming up?
...Trail of Dead Apr 20th
Low Apr 27th (serious ticket price inflation compared to last tour...)
Stag & Dagger festival May 18th, not an insane line up so far, but Wolf People are playing so that's good enough for me
Also considering the Besnard Lakes gig...although I find their latest album a bit too laid back.

Re: What gigs have you got coming up?
I've got White Hills tonight which I'm really looking forward to. Was meant to see Eternal Tapestry in Brighton last Thursday for the first night of their Euro tour, but it got cancelled as their flight out of the States got delayed. Gutted

Re: What gigs have you got coming up?
These guys are here tomorrow with The Night Beats. I would like to go but the bar they are playing is notorious for really late nights. Opening band may take the stage around 11ish. Gig over by 2am. For a mid-week gig that is hard, hard, hard. I would have once gone without hesitation and have done it many times. But, today I would have to really LOVE the band to see something that late on a "school night". Now...if it were a Friday or Saturday there's no question I would be there.Hofstadter wrote:4/20 - LSD and the Search for God/the Telescopes
The Night Beats though are superb! If you haven't seen them (I'm assuming they will be at the LA gig too) be prepared to be blown away. Imagine the Count Five with even higher energy. Super fuzzed out, 60's inspired garage psych-punk. I saw them with the Wooden Shjips a couple summers ago and they were tremendous. Better, in fact, than the Shjips.
Re: What gigs have you got coming up?
Twilight Sad tomorrow night, never seen them before in fact I`m out on a limb here really , its a sort of " home and away tie " type thing with my cousin who I dragged along to White Hills the other week , and now he`s taking me to see Twilight Sad in return , he gave me a couple of albums to frequent myself with and some off it sounds pretty good so I`m looking forward to it,

Re: What gigs have you got coming up?
Hey sorry for not responding to this - they actually weren't here with the Night Beats - I saw 'em play in December though opening for Ty Segall - totally rad, think I might have posted about it somewhere back in here - would definitely be sweet to see 'em in a slightly different mode I bet with wooden shjips!redcloud wrote:These guys are here tomorrow with The Night Beats.

The 4/20 lsd/sfg show was supposed to fuxa-lsd-telescopes, but I guess something came up and randall couldn't do the whole tour with 'em. Tennis system (who played at the mbv-ptp night in february which I posted about in the other gigs thread) opened here in la for lsd/the telescopes (which was just steven with lsd/sfg behind him) and it ended up being on Sunday night for a sort of double ptp - the aforementioned show upstairs at the echo, and downstairs at the echoplex were half string and beach fossils (did not partake in that though) - by the way, the guitarist from tennis system had the Sonic Boom Acid Fuzz Pedal, but it was in day glo yellow with a little bit of pink.... said Spacemen 3 and Dreamweapon of course, looked awesome, sounded awesome - I want to get one of those so badly...
I dropped a few rolls of film off at the developers, hopefully I can get some photos up here in the next few days.

Re: What gigs have you got coming up?
the Telescopes are one band I would really love to see live. are they still doing a noisy set based around the Taste era?
Acid Mothers Temple are touring the UK in October, so I've popped that in the calendar. with that and the Mainliner dates (apparently to be announced before the end of the week) it's looking good.
