chrisp65 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 I'm not actually going to this, just thought I'd post it up as it's free. I know, I know, 'Coventry'. Just putting it out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted June 28, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted June 28, 2014 Just seen Pearl Jam again. They really are something else. They do 2 UK gigs in Leeds and Milton Keynes July 8th and 11th. Treat yourselves, really...do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Sounds like the Weller gig at Warwick was similar to the Supergrass gig I saw a few years back. Did about 2, maybe 3 well known songs and the rest obscure bsides and album tracks. Couldn't knock their musicianship but felt flat . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I remember seeing supergrass at the glee club a while back, it was a "secret gig" but my mate worked there so got me in for free. They were brilliant first half was acoustic and the only lighting that they had came from lamps, if the bass player was needed on a song he'd walk over and switch the lamp on then switch it off after the song. Second half of the set was pretty shit when they went electric, it kind of lacked the intimacy of the first half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly that - you couldn't fault the quality - but heard loads of grumbles on the way out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 Sounds like maybe people accidentally went to a Paul Weller concert when they wanted to be at a From The Jam gig? I've seen Weller a few times, enough not to presume it'll be a rip roaring night of 70's and 80's memorabilia. I've drifted away from Weller MOR rock to a point its slightly put a dampner on listening to the Jam too often. I used to be in love with it all, back when it was important. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weller played a charity gig in Liverpool t'other week at a small intimate venue. Apparently it was a great gig and that too is part of his problem, his music isn't right for the size of venue he has to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Saw US neorockabilly/r n b band The Delta Bombers in a tiny cellar club in Lille. Sweaty, packed and very very good. Next up its The Del Ray Rockets and seeing the delta bombers again in a few venues around the uk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Booked up to see Goat, in Newcastle at the end of September. I've heard good things about them live, so should be good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturdaygig Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Saw a upcoming outfit called the Psychic Strangers at the Night and Day Cafe in Manchester. Quality act, and I had to stump up £3 to get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 "Some fairly obscure Reggae". sounds awesome! incidentally, for those of you that know shit...... the gig I was at Wednesday night (that caused me to, er, work from home yesterday) had that awkward setting up time between support and main bands absolutely nailed with some generic very heavy very slow lugubrious dub I think it's poor gig etiquette to ask the guy what he's playing - but now I don't know what it was - should I have asked? if anybody has any suggestions for 10 minute dub loops........

Xann Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 'Return To The Source' are throwing a 21st anniversary bash at the Electric (Fridge) in Brixton tonight. Alex Patterson, Man With No Name and, intriguingly Tsuyoshi are playing. Tsuyoshi's 'Matsuri' comps were the tapes to get hold of if you were into Trance during the early 90s. I'd sort of like to go, but the crowd I'd go with are scattered all over and mostly responsible parents now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd sort of like to go, but the crowd I'd go with are scattered all over and mostly responsible parents now I'm going to the Electric in December - looks like I'm going on my own though as nobody is interested in a weekend gigging experience 2 weekends before Christmas (similarly because they've all become responsible). I'll try and turn it into a weekend up town for the family to see the crimbo lights and all that - then I can slip away later in the evening. Chrome Tape? Nightmare, used to cost a fortune and if you taped over it there was a ghost of the previous music. Thems was the days. A band I haven't seen in ages are finally organising three gigs. Mountain of Love are playing two London gigs and Penzance. Clearly Penzance is out. The other two are both London, but they don't know when they'll be on: 'some time between 9:00pm and 4:00am' well, I can't do that right now, which is a bummer.

blandy Posted August 2, 2014 Moderator Share Posted August 2, 2014 I'm not actually at it, but the window's open and it's only 4 or 500 yards away, so I can hear Lytham Proms going on. Currently it sounds like Cerys Matthews is on (or someone covering her songs). Tom Jones later. There's tidy isn't it.

Xann Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) ATP's Jabberwocky Festival, supposedly happening this weekend, was cancelled a couple of days ago through lack of ticket sales. However many of the acts were already around, and have found themselves looking for alternative venues this weekend. This Facebook page shows who's secured what gigs, and where. There's a few freebies in there too. Confirmed gigs. Edited August 13, 2014 by Xann 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Green Man Festival this weekend - so excited. Haven't been to a festival -generally happily so for a long time, but got the itch last year and now can't wait. - some of them in that Jabberwocky poster, actually quite a lot in fact! Shame that got cancelled, there would have been plenty of excellent acts there. neutral milk hotel, caribou, mutual benefit, sun kil moon, cloud nothings, big ups, ought, i break horses, speedy ortiz, joanna gruesome are the ones I've heard of and would thoroughly recommend if they do find venues to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Two impossible decisions to make in the next two weeks: •Tera Melos or Cleft •Enemies or Tellison Haven't seen any of them live before so I can't use that to decide, part of me is thinking go with non-domestic bands as opportunities to see them in the future might be rarer, part of me is thinking go with the smaller band in case they're not around for as long (but then who's to say the band that's been around longer is any more or less likely to break up?), in the case of dilemma #2 we're going to be seeing to a lot of mathy bands similar to Enemies whereas Tellison's more straight-up indie-rock leanings might be a welcome change of pace come the time (but then I wouldn't be going to the festival in the first place if the prospect of 12 hours of relentless noodling didn't have me salivating), in the case of dilemma #1 if you put a gun to my head I would probably say I prefer Cleft on record, but again I've no frame of reference for how good they are live and a part of me feels like I'd regret not going to see Tera Melos perform. ARGH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
