tomav84 Posted June 29, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted June 29, 2011 just to say, its tuesday night, im steaming drunk, and just seen queens of the stone age in bournemouth...i dont have enough superlatives to say how good it was. can anyone else beat this? Yeh, saw Kyuss (minus the ginger chappy obv) a while back Most significantly for me on the horizon, 2 bands I never thought I would see again; Leftover Crack, who are doing a few shows other than the festivals in the summer. I thought they had died (literally in the case of Stza) a couple of years back, and was quite surprised to hear of new dates inclusing Reading/Leeds. I was big time into them around 16/17, smoking crack, killing cops, what a blissful existence. Better than them though is Capdown, a band who did properly finish. I never ever thought I would see them again, one of my favourite bands ever, as they all grew up and went and had kids, etc. Doing a bunch of shows aswell as a few festivals. Skanking in the pit. Quality. Another throwback to my younger days, but unlike LoC the 'Down are actually really really good god capdown takes me back! they were qualty!

Although I hear Mouthwash was very suddenly and explosively split-up, and cancelled all their upcoming shows, including Reading/Leeds! I hope to see them a few times - definately in Brum and Liverpool, and the Manc show looks fantastic with Cheif playing too (hopefully they can fill the L'Pool spot if Mouthwash aren't playing). And in November, Capdown AND The Filaments. Man oh man. JD Conspiracy are Duff Muffin btw, they changed their name and are now more popular than most anything in the scene, 'cept maybe Sonic Boom Sucks uh sorry Six I can not waaaaaaaait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Off to see Wooden Shjips, in Leeds in September. Have you listened to the Moon Duo LP? Guitarist/vocalist from them (guy with the great beard) and this Japanese chick making incredibly delightful dreamy shoegaze. One of my favourites of the year so far.

flamingsombrero Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Jaguar Skills tomorrow night, woohoo.

theboyangel Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 The Flaming Lips were simply awesome last night and in such a perfect venue for them, The Eden Project!!! Loads of smoke, balloons, sirens, streamers and a multitude of Dorothy's, Lions, Tin Men and Scarecrow dancing on either side of the stage!!!! I'd also totally recommend either Ok Go or The Go! Team as a live act - both brilliant. also caught a new group (to me anyway) in one of the domes supporting Badly Drawn Boy, The Travelling Band - bit like the Decemberists and played some decent stuff!!!

JD Conspiracy are Duff Muffin btw, they changed their name and are now more popular than most anything in the scene, 'cept maybe Sonic Boom Sucks uh sorry Six I can not waaaaaaaait Capdown are truly **** brilliant! Will definitely go and see them in Bristol. The first (and I thought last) time I saw them was on their 'exit' tour, so never thought I'd have the chance again. For Sonic Boom Six, I saw them a couple of times and thought they were really average, then saw them at a the Mighty Sounds Festival out in Czech Rep where they were awesome, seen them since and much better than the first times so worth giving another go. Anyway, if you like Capdown et al, check out http://www.myspace.com/thescrub, although unfortunately they appear to have stopped doing anything :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they improved after I lost interest in the scene (around '05), but my memory of them isn't a good one. I found it frustrating that they were still around when bands like Lightyear, Ye Wiles and King Prawn weren't. ESPECIALLY in the case of Lightyear though, the last song on the last album explaining why the only reason they were finishing was because they simply couldn't afford to live if they carried on playing and touring was horrible Such a good band. I would actually be more excited for them to do a reunion tour than Capdown...but better than nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know Lightyear to be honest (although I'll be youtubing them this evening) but King Prawn were great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted July 1, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted July 1, 2011 The Flaming Lips were simply awesome last night and in such a perfect venue for them, The Eden Project!!! Loads of smoke, balloons, sirens, streamers and a multitude of Dorothy's, Lions, Tin Men and Scarecrow dancing on either side of the stage!!!! They are fantastic live! Seen them a few times now and I rate them as one of the best live performers around, Wayne Coyne really knows how to put on a show! Im off to see Bright Eyes next weekend. Really looking forward to that too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
