What gigs have you got coming up?

Shinesalight · Post by **Shinesalight** » Thu May 12, 2016 8:48 pm

Off to see Electric Moon in London tomorrow night with fellow forumite, Aquarian-Time

Then hopefully seeing Follakzoid and Kikagaku Moyo over the bank holiday weekend in Brighton at the end of the month.

Post by **BzaInSpace** » Tue May 17, 2016 11:57 am

Off to see one of this forums favourite bands, the

MANIC STREET PREACHERS

in Glasgow on Saturday night for a pal's stag.

They're playing their biggest selling album, so stadium anthems will no doubt abound. Not actually bothered about the gig itself and the additional songs they've been playing for these shows veer from dull to "see ya at the bar" other than a few classics, but the crack should be awesome: bunch of us haven't been in the same room for years...

toomilk · Post by **toomilk** » Tue May 24, 2016 5:26 pm

BJM
PJ Harvey
Swans
Guided By Voices
Kraftwerk in LA and San Diego (with James T)
Desert Stars Festival in Pioneertown (Dinosaur Jr, Trail of Dead, etc)
Echo and the Bunnymen

I also have tickets to see Sigur Ros, but that conflicts with the Desert Stars Festival. Since James will be in town she commandeered them for herself. I'm not mad.

James T · Post by **James T** » Tue May 24, 2016 9:16 pm

I wanna see sigur ros but there has rarely been a show better than a trail of dead show. At Pappys? Well, it's gotta be the best.

johnnyboy · Post by **johnnyboy** » Wed May 25, 2016 9:39 am

Marissa Nadler + Wrekmeister Hamonies tonight at the St John's Church in Bethnal Green, London. Should be a wonderful experience but I'm suffering with a heavy head cold and horrible lethargy and all that other man-cold stuff. Still want to go but will see cometh the end of the working day.

(I went, it was marvellous)

angelsighs · Post by **angelsighs** » Wed May 25, 2016 10:56 am

have Trail of Dead still got it then? the recent albums have been a bit off but if the set was mainly Madonna/Sources Tags & Codes then all would be good...

James T · Post by **James T** » Wed May 25, 2016 1:19 pm

They still cover Madonna thru to World Apart mostly, though this set we're seeing is just Source Tags & Codes in full. Apparently they have no plans to tour or record after that show, according to their own posts.

angelsighs · Post by **angelsighs** » Wed May 25, 2016 1:35 pm

even more reason not to miss the show then, right? Sigur Ros will tour again.

I never managed to see Trail of Dead unfortunately.

James T · Post by **James T** » Wed May 25, 2016 5:16 pm

Seen them 4 or 5 times and hosted an aftershow with them once where we DJ'd together, excellent evening and guys!

niamhm · Post by **niamhm** » Sat May 28, 2016 3:14 pm

That would be Kikagaku Moyo, tonight @ Nice n Sleazy`s in Glasgow, really looking forward to this, support from Tau, a Dead Skeleton and a Moon Duo element in here I think, should be interesting as well, and finally Glasgow`s own Helicon,

Shinesalight · Post by **Shinesalight** » Sat May 28, 2016 3:14 pm

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)

Michael Rother just announced a date at the Brudenell on September 27th - that's made my afternoon. Very happy!

I'm super disappointed to miss that as I'll be travelling back from the US, have been trying to get him in Manchester for a long while but couldn't make it happen unfortunately.

angelsighs · Post by **angelsighs** » Wed Jun 01, 2016 6:00 pm

Sun Kil Moon is playing Birmingham, might check him out

Ryley Walker too.. I think he is going places. the new stuff I've heard is great and leaps and bounds above his previous stuff.

niamhm · Post by **niamhm** » Wed Jun 01, 2016 7:59 pm

JAMC playing 2 shows @ Glasgow ABC in late Aug, will be at one or both depending on circumstances.

Aquarian-Time · Post by **Aquarian-Time** » Thu Jun 02, 2016 8:48 am

Ryley Walker intrigues me, so I may delve into his world for a while and possibly a gig or two

Upcoming fun and games include

June
Neil Young, BRMC, Parquet Courts, Howe Gelb
July
Belly, Moon Duo
Aug
Low
Sep
Ride, Pysch Fest and who knows what else
Oct
Luna (hopefully), White Denim, Explosions In The Sky
Nov
Teenage Fanclub and Lush

highly recommended. he is a talented chap, and puts on a proper live show (i.e. lots of stage banter, improv taking the tunes somewhere else). his previous stuff was still showing the folky influences a bit much but the new song I've heard seems to be finding his own voice. he was already playing a whole bunch of new tunes when I saw him earlier in the year.
I predict he will be playing bigger venues next time.

where are BRMC playing?

and I believe he's the scoundrel that told us it was Kid Millions on drums at last years fest.. not sure I can believe a word that comes out of his mouth now

(PS I still think there's a chance for Dead Meadow/Warlocks to be added)

Aquarian-Time · Post by **Aquarian-Time** » Mon Jun 06, 2016 10:57 am

Now listen here

James told me it was Kid Millions (bloody looked like him as well)

Warlocks and or Dead Meadow WILL play Psych Fest. Promise

In all seriousness, I really like the line up, loads of interesting acts on the under card. Think there could be a few "I was there moments if we do the necessary detective work on some acts.

angelsighs · Post by **angelsighs** » Mon Jun 06, 2016 1:05 pm

I think you may be right, and either one may be a last minute addition.

will definitely be good to go with the flow and possibly discover some new acts too.

johnnyboy · Post by **johnnyboy** » Wed Jun 08, 2016 10:14 am

Just booked up to see the lovely Angel Olsen at KOKO in Camden on 17th Oct. She's been on my 'must see next time' list for a while now. Any fans here?

Field Day festival this Sunday in London. Looking forward to trying to see the likes of Goat, Moon Duo, PJ Harvey, Fat White Family, Avalanches, Parquet Courts, Beach House.......but there will be clashes.

Post by **MODLAB** » Wed Jun 08, 2016 2:15 pm

The Early Years - Moth Club - 27.06
Sonic Boom - Oslo Hackney - 09.07
The Orb - Brixton - 29.07

3 good shows I think.

EDIT: Stone Roses next Friday. It will be my sons first major gig.

just checked her stuff out the other day actually. I decided I need some more singer-songwritery stuff in my collection. I liked what I heard (it was some tracks from Burn Your Fire For No Witness)

(and yeah, I quite fancy her too...

)

James T · Post by **James T** » Wed Jun 08, 2016 4:41 pm

It was me, indeed, who said it was KM. And it is quite funny that after my complaints about him, I came out of that show "actually at kid millions did a fairly decent job tonight"......

Me! I saw her live for 'Burn Your Fire for no Witness' and it was a riveting set- the band she put together for that tour was fantastic! I missed her last time she came through town, but will be seeing her the next time (which will be September, I think).

I'm going to see The Cure on Saturday night- kind of weird thinking about this as I just got my ticket a few days ago. Since both shows sold out in minutes when they went on sale it took a while to find one at face value. I'd given up on the idea of going until I found one of StubHub of all places. I've seen them eight times since 1996, so it seemed that I needed to get myself together to catch them this time. Will be going early to catch The Twilight Sad as they're one of those bands I've always been curious about but have never taken the time to listen to. The only irritating little detail is the fact that my wife will be out of town for this- when we first met I was traveling around the country to see them touring for 'Bloodflowers' and she was never able to go to any of the shows with me. Then here they are in our hometown and I'm able to find a ticket and she ends up having to go out of town on business.

One of my friends is working on the tour at the moment doing a locum role due to illness in the regular crew (I think). He reckons that The Cure have rehearsed over 100 tunes for the production (e.g. there are fully worked out lighting cues, sequences and backdrop projections). They had payed something like 78 different songs at 15 shows including a couple of new songs when last I heard from him. He reckons the shows are excellent and very varied so he rarely gets bored ( a curse if the band plays the same set every night for months on end). FWIW there are another 20-odd tunes that are rehearsed to play but are not worked up for production. They'll probably get an airing too

as they that sort stuff out at soundchecks.

Enjoy the shows. I'm hoping to catch a couple of their UK gigs later this year.

James T · Post by **James T** » Thu Jun 09, 2016 9:07 am

Seen The Cure a couple of times in the past few years, both were excellent shows with Reeves on guitar and superb setlists (always gonna be I guess). Looking forward to the show in Manchester later this year, even if my seats are kinda shitty. Might try and make another show too, but they're damn pricey!

Post by **runcible** » Thu Jun 09, 2016 9:09 am

Brian Jonestown Massacre in Leeds next week. Not see them for a while but I have heard great reports from the current shows...

It's hard not to fancy her after watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oL_3Y4zNnqg She's beautiful.

Burn Your Fire For No Witness is a really great album, been itching to see her live since around that time. I bought it in roughly the same period I also got Marissa Nadler 'July', Weyes Blood 'The Innocents', Jennifer Castle 'Pink City', which are all really good if you haven't checked them already.

Angel Olsen's new song is a change of direction, synth led rather than guitar. I like it a lot, gives off a Twin Peaks vibe, touch of Chromatics about it as well with the big synth lines near the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r248o_rUfKE

Brian Jonestown Massacre in Glasgow tonight, led to believe they`re doing a 3 hr set, never sat through a 3 hr set before, and now in to week 3 of a mini heat wave, the Barrowland is sure to be a total sweat box, should be quite a night.

Neil Young + Promise of The Real.

The heat has been fantastic - the fact that it coincided with time off was just the best.

How did gig go? Did they do a 3 hour set?? Sounds more like Springsteen than BJM...

Aquarian-Time · Post by **Aquarian-Time** » Fri Jun 10, 2016 2:40 pm

Neil Young for me in Leeds also. No doubt the M62 wll screw the journey as best it can

niamhm · Post by **niamhm** » Fri Jun 10, 2016 2:58 pm

Yes Bza they did play the best part of 3 hr, starting at 7.30 sharp to a half empty Barrowlands, tbh we were lucky to get their on time and I think a lot of people were late, by the back of 8 a good crowd was in, probably just under sold out. Actual gig was terrific, kinda split into two halfs that really built up, they really do have some fantastic songs and a lot of love was in the room for the band and yes it was warm, very warm.

Post by **MODLAB** » Thu Jun 16, 2016 10:19 am

Tomorrow, The Stone Roses in Manchester with my eldest. His first proper gig. I hope it will go smoothly with him, he's really excited and loves the Roses... So we will see.

Cult Of Dom Keller and a couple of local bands this Sunday in Glasgow. You wait patiently for a band to come north to see them and then you get to see them twice in 6 months! Feeling honoured!

Just hope there is a decent turn out for them...

I live very close by, capacity is around 180. I saw Saint Etienne there the other night. It gets some amazing shows for its size, people just love to stop off there. It is by far one of my favourite venues, great bar and good views, the people who run it are great too. Unfortunately I can't make the show anymore, really gutted about that

Synthcurious are putting on some more gigs in Coventy (they are the promoters who brought Sonic Boom there last year), and Hans-Joachim Roedelius (from Cluster/Harmonia) is playing. should be good for something different as I don't go to a lot of electronic gigs.
