MrDuck Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Anyone see any of the recent Adam Ant shows? Tossing up whether to go and see him in Melbourne in a few weeks. Saw him in the mid 90's and he was surprisingly brilliant... but he's gotta be nearly 60 now and considerably more mental than ever before.

MMFy Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I saw Clutch play in Brighton a couple of weeks ago - without knowing anything about them before the gig. They were better than the perverts they were supporting by a long way! Then 2 days later went to Bristol to see Mastodon/Red Fang. Would wholeheartedly recommend both if anyone has the chance to see them. Been a Mastodon fan for a while but haven't seen many bands perform so technically brilliantly as they played.

hogso Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Mentioned in another thread somewhere, but saw Kylesa, Circle Takes the Square, and KEN Mode in brum last night. **** exceptional, every band. I've been waiting to see CTTS for nigh on 10 years, KEN Mode are a more recent discovery, and I've caught Kylesa on their last couple of tours over here (gotta love double drummers). Any metal heads who have not listened to Kylesa should get on that asap pretty much. Here is the loverly Laura of Kylesa fame BORIS tee for extra awesome points! yeahhhhhhhh \m/>____<\m/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Big Country in Berlin tomorrow night playing The Crossing in it's entirety to celebrate it being 30 years old of course I could have gone and seen them in Reading the other week , but 2 nights on the beer in Berlin with a couple of mates sounded like a much better plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted March 9, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted March 9, 2012 Big Country without Stuart Adamson seems a bit pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 yay, just got 2 tickets for the Cerys Matthews show on Sunday morning hardly gig of the week, but a nice trip out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Big Country without Stuart Adamson seems a bit pointless. Yeah I thought that before but saw them in Pompey last year and Mike Peters did the songs justice and it's more about the beer and hearing the songs played live again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Mary Epworth, live on BBC 6 earlier today. Only 2 songs but very good. A nice raw sound that hopefully won't be produced out on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezza Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Charles Bradley - legendary American soul singer - we promoted him at the HiFi Bar in Melbourne last week, and he was simply sensational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Mary Epworth, live on BBC 6 earlier today. Only 2 songs but very good. A nice raw sound that hopefully won't be produced out on the album. My mate was playing the banjo for her on that set. Been in her band for a while now. Really nice woman by all accounts, and very talented. If you liked that, you should check out Dan Michaelson & The Coastguards, of whom he's also a member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Just back from All Tomorrow's Parties today. Some cracking performances. Undoubted highlight was seeing the two surviving Minutemen, George Hurley and Mike Watt. Honorable mentions to The Sun Ra Arkesrta, Half Japanese, Earth, Scratch Acid, The Boredoms, and The Fall.

chrisp65 Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 hey, tell him he did a grand job, he's not in the photo due to an unfortunate speaker position, I'm not banjoist. His sound came over well too (I'm glad I was complementary about them now!). I'll defo look up the Coastguards, cheers for the tip. They did appear to be genuine and friendly (they had a few tearful mum's with them which was a thing of beauty in a hard London music world). I moved a few to get a photo of the instruments before kick off not realising they were band and they were totally cool about it. If you're interested you can call up the show on the website and slide through to around about 1 hr 40 mins to listen to the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Three of our greatest acoustic guitar players are playing together this weekend. John Renbourn, Robin Williamson & Wiz Jones. If you're around London you could do worse. John Renbourn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 Cambridge Corn Exchange (September 11) Birmingham Symphony Hall (12) Southampton Guildhall (13) London Barbican Centre (16) Gateshead Sage Theatre (17) Edinburgh Queens Hall (18) Brighton Dome (20) Manchester Bridgewater Hall (21) Liverpool Philharmonic Hall (24) Oxford New Theatre (25) Dexys will be touring in September to plug the new album. Could be gig of the year, could be a car crash worth witnessing. What's the Brum Symphony Hall like as a venue? It's that or the Barbican, which I'm a bit meh about.
