Don't get me wrong, i understand it serious, but i do think a lot of this is being blown out of proportion. The fear mongering and panic spread by the fucking press is outrageous.

Not fucking happy... :evil:
Me too Laz, bit annoyed as I`ve been looking forward to this one for a while, only consolation is it`ll probably be rescheduled for later in the yr

Got tickets for 4 gigs before the end of April which I guess will be turning into Gigs I`ve Got Coming Up I wont Be Going To Just Yet. I see RSD has been postponed along with tours all over the place, going to have quite a knock on effect in the music/ live music industry area,

Might not have anymore future concerts because of the virus. Coachella has been pushed back. Major sporting events have been postponed/cancelled including English Premier League, Serie A, March Madness ( college basketball tournament ), NBA, etc.

Each city, county, state dictate their own laws. Some cities you can't gather with more than 100+ due to the virus. Trader Joe's (owned by Aldi in the States) is limiting people inside their stores now. :oops:

So, maybe we need a 'What gigs were you supposed to attend but have now been postponed?' a bit depressing? For me, Nick Cave in London in May has been postponed. Pretty gutted as it would be great but also my Wife and I were having our first night away without Kids to head off to see it. Never-mind, the sun has been out the last few days and it'll come around again. Of course, I'm now thinking I might be able to get tickets for the Amsterdam gig instead :twisted: Silver linings.

... or maybe we need a “what virtual gigs do you have coming up?” theme.

for me, Low on their IG live every friday has been a godsend, along with all the terrific deejays doing live sets. robyn hitchcock and emma swift each week on stageit has been lovely as well, but other than those i don’t have good leads on what’s out there.

what live-from-home quarantine gigs have you found out there, and who are you looking forward to seeing?

I watch Robyn Hitchcock's shows every week. Seems like Dean and Britta do one every month, which have been fantastic. Sharon Van Etten did one that was pretty good.

Last Thursday Angel Olsen did a "live" (it def wasn't a live stream) show in a church/studio in North Carolina that was absolutely fantastic. The woman operating the camera was moving around Angel and the sound was perfect.

I think the bottom line is that I'm not getting stir crazy seeing that I've missed so many shows I had tickets for this year. Missed Swans, Kraftwerk, Stereolab, Quasi, Nick Cave, Echo and the Bunnymen, among a few others I can't remember right now.

I miss going to shows so much. I teared up watching the Dean and Britta shows and straight cried watching Angel Olsen. It wasn't because the songs were sad. It was because I miss watching music being made. I'm fucking frustrated with my country (US) right now and I'm embarrassed by our history and where were are right now. Let's just hope people start acting like they give a fuck and we can get to the point where shows can happen again. /rant

I don't use the word hate lightly but in this case it is apropos. I hate Trump and the damage, division and death he has caused here. The relentless flow of shit from this administration is exhausting to put it mildly. Our history? No idea why traitors and losers are celebrated here. Makes zero sense. The racism? Lets hope this is the start of some meaningful change.

Even though i had plenty of gigs lined up for 2020, surprisingly, i don't miss them at all. Probably because there's none on anywhere.
If it were a case of shows taking place and me not being able to attend well then i'd be fairly pissed off, otherwise no, not an issue. Glad of the break to be honest; money saved, no driving up and down to the city whilst tired, no parking issues, no dealing with wankers in the audience (What a miserable old cunt i am :lol: ).

I have no interest in virtual gigs or listening parties. Tried a couple but not for me.

Oh, apologies to our American friends but Trump will be voted back in.

I’m kind of feeling that way too. This year I was kinda going more for quality over quantity with gigs anyway. If others were able to go, I would have ‘fear of missing out’ but that doesn’t apply here. Saving a fair few quid too!
It was a little nauseating for the grumpy side of me, how much hype there was on the Glastonbury weekend, people doing “Glasto at home” etc. and the beeb filling out the gaps in the schedule with old live sets. they do realise Glastonbury doesn’t actually happen every year anyway?
The bigger issue is what the music industry will look like on the other side of all this.

That’s interesting- it’s great that she’s putting a lot of work into it etc. but if it’s not fully live it begs the question, why wouldn’t I just find another live set of hers on youtube and watch it back? Although I do realise they are pretty unique sets, and you can make requests and stuff.

Just bought tickets for Dead Can Dance in Dublin next April :roll:

I've had plenty of gigs rescheduled for next year but i suspect they'll be pushed back again as most are for the January-April period.
Had Follakzoid, Oh Sees and Pigsx7 due in Oct./Nov but no way will they be going ahead.

Also was informed that Ticketmaster have got rid of most of their outlets around the country thus forcing purchases online and the exorbitant fees that go with that. Plus, not every gig offers a ticket printout option, making life more difficult for non smartphone owners.
Ticketbastard indeed. Wankers. :evil:

I’m going to the Dead Can Dance gigs. We went to Lisbon in 2018 for a couple of their greatest hits shows which were great. The last DCD gig I saw in Dublin at the Bord Gais theatre was duff though. I’m supposed to be going over for the rescheduled Nick Cave shows soon after that. Chuck in Sonic’s tour in March and the mini Psych Fest in Liverpool and there is lots to look forward to.

I enjoyed the Bord Gais gig. My only other time seeing DCD was at the Olympia in 1996, the day after Leftfield/Chemical Brothers/Fluke in the Point. The perfect comedown it has to be said.
If the stars align we might actually manage to meet up!

I think I was at that 1996 one in the Olympia too. I had flown in from Melbourne two days previously so jetlag and a hectic afternoon in the pub didn't help much. :shock: . I was also at the 10th March 2005 gig at the Olympia having flown in that morning from Melbourne via Heathrow,.... I was bollocked by the taxi driver for being impossible to wake up that night.

Happy Days.

The Dead Can Dance gigs scheduled for April 2021 have all be postponed until 2022 now. I was supposed to travel over to Dublin for a rescheduled Nick Cave gig next April too. I'm hoping that is postponed again as the thoughts of getting on a plane (let alone a Ryanair flight) don't exactly thrill me.

Looking forward to hearing all about this Gary. Especially given the fact that the second set is going to be primarily songs that were never, or rarely, performed before (more bands should do this).

Jesus & Mary Chain @ Barras last night was excellent. 2 sets; Darklands in full, then a collection of random odds and sods.

Felt the band were a little rusty for the Darklands set and thought the sound was a little unbalanced (vocals low, William's guitar seemed a little too loud compared to the rest) but opener Darklands, Happy When it Rains and April Skies still got the crowd going and singing along. Quick break, then back for the 2nd half. Definitely upp'ed a gear as the 2nd half was much better. We got (amongst others) Come On, God Help Me, Kill Surf City and they finished with a superb Never Understand.

A great, and very long overdue, night with the Reid brothers. 8)

I'm doubting there will be any east coast/mid-west dates this time based on the March/April schedule that's been posted with new west coast dates recently announced. It makes sense since the west coast never got the ANH tour. Personally gutted but that's my unfortunate prediction.

Bloody hell 'Sighs, that's grim.
I've got tickets for The Altered Hours, Sons Of Kemet, Yard Act, Gilla Band, Low, The Lovely Eggs, Earthless, Squid, Mogwai, Spiritualized, Oh Sees, Jane Weaver, Just Mustard, Parquet Courts, Primal Scream, all of which takes me up to the end of June. Then Godflesh (Nov.) and The Cure (Dec.)
These are a combination of reschedules and new additions. There's probably another ten i'm intending to go to between now and end of June.

Plus Heavy Psych Fest in Liverpool and All Together Now and Electric Picnic festivals.

There was a full West coast / East coast tour for ANH, but with only a week between the end of the West coast dates and the UK dates this time, its unlikely that any dates could be scheduled in for that period. On the other hand, there's a 3 week gap between the European dates and the West coast ones, so it would seem logical to arrange any East coast dates for then. I'm assuming the East coast venues on the ANH tour were just as well supported as the West coast ones, so it would be interesting to find out why nothing is planned (as yet) for those cities.

I know, right? I know gigs have still been happening here and there, but nothing that really made me want to take the leap back out there. Also wanted to stay local because of potential cancellations.
The rearranged Chameleons date is the day after my birthday so that's quite good.
Thought about Echo & The Bunnymen but £40 is rather steep and last time I saw them Ian threw a hissy fit.
May will hopefully bring Earthless, Om and a little band called Spiritualized (first time since that psych fest set..2015, 2016?)

First gig this year tomorrow night, Glasvegas at SWG3 with my daughter, looking forward to this, big tunes, bit heart and booming Spector/Chain-esque wall of sound, had the tickets for almost 2 yrs and I think this is the 3rd time its been rescheduled - last time was only 3 weeks ago at 3 days notice - so fingers crossed,

Then Twilight Sad next Friday at Barrowlands, I`m aware this is another Scottish band not afraid to hide their accent, its just a coincidence I assure you, I have a spare ticket if anyone can make it

I was pretty miffed that they cancelled the Dublin gig completely. Only one on the tour afaik. Doubly odd, when they usually start or finish their tours in Dublin.

I've seen them a lot. Most recently I was at the Bórd Gáis Theatre gig in Dublin in 2013 which I thought was poor. We saw them in the Aula Magna in Lisbon in 2019 which was excellent. The Manchester gig was good, but nowhere near as good as Lisbon. They had some technical problems and Lisa Gerrard had some issues with her voice. I didn't stay for the encore as I had a train to catch but there was a fair exodus at the end of the main set. I'ld give it a 7/10.

I was pretty miffed that they cancelled the Dublin gig completely. Only one on the tour afaik. Doubly odd, when they usually start or finish their tours in Dublin.
I've seen them a lot. Most recently I was at the Bórd Gáis Theatre gig in Dublin in 2013 which I thought was poor. We saw them in the Aula Magna in Lisbon in 2019 which was excellent. The Manchester gig was good, but nowhere near as good as Lisbon. They had some technical problems and Lisa Gerrard had some issues with her voice. I didn't stay for the encore as I had a train to catch but there was a fair exodus at the end of the main set. I'ld give it a 7/10.
I saw some clips from the Nantes concert and it looked promising

I am not a huge fan of the new arrangements and interpretations of the older songs. That said, it is tremendous that they are still willing to play live as I really can't see it being a huge money-spinner in the current climate. Any DCD gig is a good gig by definition...just some are better than others.

Delighted at the news of a Stoner double-header par excellence coming up in July; Nebula and The Atomic Bitchwax.

Plus Follakzoid arriving in July also (the gig was originally scheduled for April 2020 :shock: ). Almost got my ticket refunded on a couple of occasions but the promoter was confident he'd work a date out with them eventually so i held on.

Plenty more before that though starting on Tuesday, when i shall be out most evenings for the next few weeks (if my body and wallet stands up to it!). Bit peeved that all the gigs are happening at the business end of the football and snooker. I'm hoping the snooker final finishes a session early 'cos Earthless are playing that night. I am gonna miss the CL semis though, and a large chunk of the FA Cup :cry:

I was also at Mogwai last night. Brilliant. My first time at the Ally Pally. Lovely venue, no idea the view of London was so good from up there.

Micheal Head in Liverpool (at a Church from memory)
Soundcarriers The Carlton Club Manchester
Stereolab New Century Hall Manchester

probably Dream Syndicate in London

And last minute decision this weekend, i shall be at Bluedot Festival, full Spiritualized review to follow They are on tomorrow 2300 to 0030 so a decent set in prospect

Checked what day the band were playing Bluedot out of curiosity, looks like they have been cancelled due to covid :? Hope all is okay, not sure how it might hit Jason if he's had lung issues in the past


In terms of my gig going year, it's only been Spiritualized so far. Mixture of lack of motivation, not much out there I see as essential etc. But here's some possibles going forward.

Minami Deustch
Ryley Walker
Rose City Band
Night Beats
Acid Mothers Temple

May also be tempted by the Dream Syndicate

Helicon, The Janitors & Filth Spector next week. Been keen to see The Janitors for years now and they are finally coming to Glasgow after the postponed gig last Winter. Helicon, who are just phenomenal live, and Filth Spector are all good friends of mine and it will be great to have such triple bill to watch. Totally family affair too as me, the missus, my youngest daughter and my son and his girlfriend all heading along. We might actually make up most of the audience! (but i hope not :lol: ).

Godspeed! You Back Emperor a few days after that. Again, so excited for this and my son is coming with me too. He's never seen them live and also never been to the Barras either, so this will be a feast on the senses! A band i promised i would make sure he saw.

Mogwai, again at the Barras. 23rd Dec. Hometown Xmas show. Guess what? My son and missus are coming with me to this :lol: Another band my son has never seen* but has obsessed over for a long time. I have found myself listening to them a lot more recently. Never fell out of love for them or anything, but just haven't made it along to any of their shows over recent years. Missus and I promised ourselves we would go see them the next time they are in town, and i couldn't possibly go and not have my son there :)

(*My son has previously been at a Mogwai gig, but the missus was 6months pregnant with him at the time, so he prob only "felt" the gig :lol: )


Gigs that i am thinking about...

Daddy Long Legs (Blues sensations coming back to Glasgow in October. I will very likely be at this. Superb rock'n'roll!)
White Hills
Vacant Lots
BJM (Will most likely be at this too, but a little away yet)

Few others of interest but, just can't make them all...

Really in 2 minds about Godspeed myself, i think the date here is almost sold out but a few tickets left. The last couple of albums haven't excited me to say the least, but I have found them good live

Might be going to check out Rose City Band next week after the good reports here.

Some possibles seem to be popping up for 2023, with BJM, Fuzz and also some Mogwai dates

Could've been at Rose City Band tonight but it's in Dun Laoghaire which is a total pain in the arse for me to get to, so I passed :(

Tickets bought for Loop, Thumper, Godflesh, Amyl & The Sniffers, Working Mens Club, Wet Leg, The Cure and BJM (2023 for Anton). Another 13 or 14 probables on top of that for the rest of 2022 though.

Maybe some Built to Spill shows on the west coast - missed them when they were closer to home, and will be elsewhere for most of November.

Who has seen them on this tour - how has it been so far?

oh my lord, they were just incredible!
i hear you about the traveling though. it is an adventure, but one that definitely wears you out and can be so expensive even if you are trying to be careful and rough it.
i’ve honestly been looking at their march uk tour dates though and trying to figure out how i could possibly make a few of them because i guess i’m crazy :?
