I took this as a good challenge as I like to think I can find a good gig anywhere, but you're not wrong! I can't see much worthwhile on at that time which is surprising

I know! I think we'll drop by smaller venues at least.. and hope for the best

Thank you!

Not sure if it`s your bag at all, but if I was on my holidays and our paths crossed I would fancy going to see Prophets Of Rage, RATM/Public Enemy/Cypress Hill super group, playing a couple of NY shows that week.

I'm interested! Will look into it, hopefully the tickets are not too much out of my budge

Thank you!

And this

I thought you promised one or both of these would be playing Liverpool

Don't panic, I'm seeing Dead Meadow in Brighton and The Warlocks in London

Gutted these aren't playing down here...one of my favourite live bands

Aquarian-Time wrote:Wooden Shjips (Manchester)

Didn't know these were touring again. New album on the way?

Aquarian-Time wrote:Teenage Fanclub (Manchester)

Seeing these in Brighton too. Very much looking forward to new LP

After a small 3 month break, back to gig going tomorrow, Mogwai and Mark Cousins performing Atomic at the Edinburgh Playhouse as part of the Edinburgh International Festival. Haven`t been to the Playhouse for at least 25 yrs. but I did see loads of bands there in the mid to late 80`s so looking forward to this one,

Then a double dose of Jesus and Mary Chain during the week, Tue & Wed, my ears may be begging for mercy after these 3.

angelsighs · Post by **angelsighs** » Sat Aug 27, 2016 12:37 pm

my list is somewhat similar to Aquarian Time's also, obviously though some of those bands skip the Midlands most times. I am thinking of making the drive to Oxford for Luna though.
I've also added Public Image Ltd to my list. November is looking busy!

Aquarian-Time wrote:Steve Gunn or Wolf people (Manchester)

are Wolf People the band we caught the end of at ATP? little bit proggy? they are pretty good. but it has to be Steve I think. I saw him play a tiny tiny venue on the last tour and it was superb. met him and he signed my CD too! the new album is fabulous.

Cool, glad you enjoyed it so much. I saw them earlier in the year at The Forum in Kentish Town then a couple of years back at the Scala. I think they're my favourite band around at the moment. The Coronet seemed to be the most packed and insane though. We got there before 7:30 to catch both support bands and to bag a good spot for Thee Oh Sees, quite near the front over on John Dwyers side. I love the fact that it's mayhem from the get go, bodies everywhere and drenched in sweat by song two. They set my head on fire. Had such a bad neck for three days afterwards due to the thrashing and dancing around like a loon. I bet it was quite a sight watching the pit from upstairs!

Off to see King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard in Brixton tonight for more of the same. I used to think of them as Thee Oh Sees little cousins or something but they could well be on their way to being more popular. Last time I saw them there were quite a few pilled up younger kids there, eyeballs on stalks and distant stares.

Ditto. Picked up tickets for Low in Christchurch Cathedral plus Primal Scream in the Olympia. The fact that the Scream have Bo Ningen as support gives me optimism for a full on rock 'n' roll show.
Also have tickets for Super Furry Animals playing Fuzzy Logic and Radiator in the Olympia the night after Bobby's mob.
Oh yeah...and an early bird for next year's Electric Picnic..only 50 weeks away!!!

Plenty coming up in Oct/Nov that i've yet to purchase tickets for so will hang back on listing them yet.

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.

angelsighs · Post by **angelsighs** » Sat Oct 01, 2016 1:51 pm

Supersonic Festival are putting on a pretty good lineup as a 'launch party' in anticipation of next years festival- I got tickets for the Friday night-

Xylouris White (a duo Jim White from Dirty Three on drums and George Xylouris on Cretan lute!),
Sex Swing (a band I've wanted to see at various festivals for a while now but never quite caught them)
Mothwasp.

not bad for 12 quid.

shalloboi · Post by **shalloboi** » Sat Oct 01, 2016 7:28 pm

Bardo Pond at the Owl for free next Sunday night.

The only reason I heard about it is because a person I was friends with almost a decade ago's band is opening for them. I've never been to the Owl, but it is a very small place and I could imagine this getting very packed and unpleasant. That said, the last (and only) time I saw Bardo Pond live was in 2003. Given how much I've grown to love them in the years since I'm planning on getting there fairly early even though I have to be up for work the next day.

Nøught
Tomaga
Ben Duvall (Ex-Easter Island Head)
Rhys Chatham’s “Guitar Trio” presented by The Oxford Guitar Orchestra (featuring members of Ride and The Young Knives)

oh, and its Explosions In The Sky on Monday night.. found out The Entrance Band have been added as support.. a nice Brucie Bonus!

I have a ticket for EITS tomorrow night in Liverpool courtesy of Dave Caldwell. They are playing the Philharmonic which is rather swish (whichever room they use). Not sure who the support act is though.

angelsighs · Post by **angelsighs** » Sat Oct 08, 2016 12:48 pm

Entrance are supporting all the UK dates I believe. (I've just discovered it's Entrance- i.e. Guy Blakeslee solo rather than the full band)

I am off to see The Sisters of Mercy in Liverpool on Friday. I haven't seen them play since 1985, so it should be interesting. They used to be a great night out and quite a laugh live, despite their doomy image. Minor Victories is coming up soon after too....

Seeing Teenage Fanclub tomorrow night down here in Brighton. Really looking forward to it as always loved them and the new album is great

Seeing TFC a week on Saturday too. Recent set lists have looked great so looking forward to it. Also have The Cosmic Dead for their annual free Xmas show on the 28th Dec... which will be a juggernaut of carnage/noise/heaviness!

angelsighs · Post by **angelsighs** » Thu Nov 24, 2016 11:15 am

Teenage Fanclub for me on Saturday night too. looks to be the last gig of the year for myself.
not listened to an album all the way through since Songs From Northern Britain, but hoping a night full of TUNES

next year starting to fill up with tickets booked for Russian Circles and possibly Julian Cope, The Fall, The Handsome Family

Camera @ The Castle Hotel, Manchester this Saturday

Other than that Manchester gigs this year for JAMC and Grandaddy. Moon Duo either at Leeds or Manchester and then later in the year Krafwerk.

I did attend lots of shows end of last year (too many) and didn't put up any reviews unfortunatly, will maybe put some retrospective ones up.

took a punt and got a ticket to see The Fall. I'm not that familiar with them really but they are playing a venue which is basically walking distance from my house. Bo Ningen supporting which clinched it.

Should be a great night ! Love the Fall , always edgie and never quite sure what mood Mark E Smith will be in . Brilliant front man. Saw Bo Ningen supporting Primal Scream recently. They were fantastic. The last number of their set went on and on lots of great noise.
Have a great evening.

Travelling to Nottingham for the Six By Seven reunion gig on March 4th.
Their plan is to play all of The Closer You Get + extra set.

Then back in Glasgow
Grails
Moon Duo

I don't think Grandaddy are going to add a Glasgow date? I hope there are still tickets for the Edinburgh gig.

angelsighs · Post by **angelsighs** » Sat Feb 25, 2017 10:47 am

managed to get Ryan Adams tickets for Manchester.. wasn't easy though, and not cheap... anybody would think the man just went through an expensive divorce?

also going to Swans in Birmingham.. they are playing the Asylum which is a very 'metal' venue. only band I've seen there before is Silver Mt Zion. quite a small venue though.

still considering whether to go to The Jesus & Mary Chain. another ticket that isn't cheap, but the new album is getting surprisingly good reviews and a set that isn't just resting on them playing Psychocandy stuff for the umpteenth time actually kinda appeals to me.

I ended up delaying again but did well to wait. There was a 2 or 3 day gap in the tour after Edinburgh, and their support act for the tour then announced a small headline gig in Glasgow during that gap. Then Marc Riley let slip on Twitter that the BBC6 music festival would be in Glasgow this year a week before the official announcement...
So no need to travel, all good.
The Shins headlining actually... I'm familiar with the name but not a band I've ever really listened to. And I'm quite happy with Honeyblood opening!

After a bit of a struggle, managed to get tickets for JAMC at the Barrowlands at the end of next month, part of the 6Music weekend, support from Ride, Warpaint -who? - and Sleaford Mods, fancy checking them out, so pretty stoked for this show.

I hesitated for that one.Tickets went fast unsurprisingly. Warpaint had a decent single some 5-6 years back but iirc the album then did nothing for me. Only time I saw JAMC was in 1997 - I really need to give the new stuff a listen and try and catch them live again at some point. Sounds like a cracking night anyway!

That's what I like to hear! I'm sure there will still be plenty of Psychocandy in the set

I'd echo Flokie's view on Warpaint. Their early stuff was good (although I'd extend it to the first EP and album)- since then, very bland. If I can lower the tone somewhat as well- they are nice to look at, at the least!

Sleaford Mods are the odd one out there for me. Never really 'got' them!

niamhm · Post by **niamhm** » Sat Feb 25, 2017 9:17 pm

I just checked Setlist FM, the last JAMC gig I saw Oct 2016, 5 Psychocandy tunes from a 17 song set is not too bad.

Sleaford Mods seem a bit lofi and shouty but my mate saw them last yr at Cosmosis - I think I might have been watching JAMC at the time - assures me they were really good, so nothing ventured and all that.

Follakzoid are playing a tiny pub in Birmingham. should be good. wonder if Jason will turn up?

Monster Magnet are also playing that weekend, but I'm sure whether they still have that psych tinge or are just full on metal now.

I've also been impulsive and got a ticket to the Sea Change festival down in Devon.

http://www.seachangefestival.co.uk/

great lineup with Ryley Walker, Chris Forsyth and Trembling Bells sticking out for me. add in other acts of interest such as Sex Swing, Hey Colossus,Temples, Grumbling Fur, Death and Vanilla, Michael Chapman, Jane Weaver and it's easily worth £55

no camping either- the bands play in various venues around the town. I got a cheap B&B

a new festival has been announced in Birmingham and the Sunday night lineup is unexpectedly superb.

Editors are the headliner who I actually don't mind, if rather commercial (there is much worse as far as Joy Division rip offs go), but the undercard is superb- Slowdive, Jesus & Mary Chain, Peter Hook, Josefin Ohrn amongst others. all for £50.

very keen to catch JAMC in particular as going off the reports here they are on rich form.

Saw that yesterday. I was very impressed with Friday's line up too: Orbital, Leftfield playing Leftism, Jagwar Ma and Higher Intelligence Agency, not bothered about Faithless DJ set. I would've placed Leftfield over Orbital as headliners though.

It's the week before LPF so I imagine that would rule me out.

Latest additions to my upcoming gigs are Chelsea Wolfe, K-X-P and Melt Banana. Still have to nab tickets for George Clinton and Sunn O (not together, but that would be interesting

).
Also considering Laurie Anderson, Angel Olsen and Discharge.

.

yeah it seems they have programmed it intelligently and Friday is Dance, Sat Indiepop and Sunday more psych/postpunky. so whatever floats your boat, you're catered for!

week before psych fest perhaps not good for my wallet either but I can't resist this.
