Seat68 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Tickets bought for Springsteen at VP. Comes to something when I think a hundred is a reasonable price for a ticket. Still, no hotel needed, potentially no day off work needed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now live in Devon, so it would be close to a grand for me and the Mrs with trains and hotels etc. Still, i guess market demands and if people are happy to pay etc I saw him twice the last time he was at VP, paid about £17 lol Enjoy the concert when it comes round, i'm sure it will be great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current one that is only available digitally atm is wildly different to the first one which is a hard motorik beat with loud fuzzed up guitars. Krautrock meets garage band but the latest stuff in much more sun drenched Californain psyche in the Wooden Shjips / Moon Duo vein Also a lot of the time the live thing with these bands is vastly different to the records, The Psychedelic Porn Crumpets being a case in point, the records are good but live jebus, they are loud with a very active mosh pit. You can't always judge a gig by the album imo EDIT: ah yes you listened to the first album, I should read the whole post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted August 20, 2022 Moderator Share Posted August 20, 2022 Good little venue Future Yard shame it’s in Birkendead. nice little bar at the front decent 200 capacity live room at the back and a massive yard out the back with DJs. It’s all free entry apart from the gig room. Hate to tell them but you can walk into the gig from the free area if you go via the yard Didnt see the first support, second support Cosmic Scouse hippy nonsense missing a campfire and listening to too much Steve Hillage but having said that they were inoffensive Minami Deutsch we’re good, somewhat relentless, very much how I imagine Damo Suzuki era Can would have been mixed with classic era Loop. Much louder and each time builds to an amazing cacophony of noise.The last tune towards the end, I have no idea how to describe the sound the bass was playing, I’ve never heard a sound like it All in all a good night and we’ll worth the £13.20 entrance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted August 20, 2022 Moderator Share Posted August 20, 2022 That support band were called San Pedro's Vision. This is how they describe themselves on their bandcamp Quote San Pedro’s Vision are a five-piece collective hailing from the north, producing an alchemic mix of Progressive, Psychedelic and Post-Rock sounds. The Liverpool based band are galvanising elements from the likes of Pink Floyd, The Myrrors, Tool and Tame Impala to craft vast soundscapes echoing the depths of the subconscious; on your journey within, experience the masterful balance between soaring vocals and drawn out, mesmerising instrumental bridges from this band’s catalogue of conceptual releases Dreadful. On my don't turn up early list if I ever see they are on at a gig I'm going to Good luck to them, their mates seemed to like them. Decent musicians but not for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite jealous of that gig Good, very much in the O Sees school live, the rhythm guitarist might as well have been a John Dwyer tribute act. same style guitar, same very high position, same energy but yes very good, thrashed it all out loudly Enjoyed it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 So the Psychedelic Porn Crumpets gig at the Institute was awesome last night. Despite being 48, I thought it’d be fun to ‘mix it’ with the youth - lasted the whole gig, came out soaked in sweat and knackered but loved every second. It was the most polite and fun mosh pit I’ve ever graced - folk helping each other up, looking for dropped items such as phones and glasses and jumping around for the sheer hell of it without trying to injure anyone. as for the band - they were sensational Safe to say I am still knackered 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Have The Goa Express tonight in Plymouth for the princely sum of £6. Nice little jangly guitar band I’d previously seen supporting Shame last year. It won’t be as frantic as last week’s Porn Crumpets gig (hopefully) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blandy Posted September 9, 2022 Moderator Share Posted September 9, 2022 I’m in the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester, just seen Melope - a sort of Lithuanian folk/electronic duo performing songs about nature and the human connection with nature. I gathered that from my fluent Lithuanian, sorry I meant because that’s what they said it was ( in English) Agnes Obel is on in 10 minutes. It’s some venue. The sound is fantastic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blandy Posted September 9, 2022 Moderator Share Posted September 9, 2022 Blimey. That was worth the 2 and a half years wait and 2 or 3 covid reschedulings from the original date in March 2020. Absolutely brilliant concert, so so good. I reckon a new album can’t be that far off as she played some new songs too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 So help me Lawd, I've decided to risk heading into London on Monday to see Jaga Jazzist. Fully aware this is a terrible idea, but what better way to see off some nonce's dead Mum our dearly departed Queenie than experimental polyrhythmic Norwegian synth-jazz, eh? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
