We're in the pipe, 5 by 5
i'm a bit concerned because it's free and we can't get there early, hope it's not packed out!

I wouldn't worry too much, I don't think it will be that popular & also they'll fill the place out including the bar - that's a good 300-400 people. It's a Sunday as well isn't it?

Anyone going to catch Andy Weatherall at The Loft tonight? I saw him in his Love From Outer Space guise at Bestival and it was an excellent 3 hours.

To be fair, the singer looks 15!

I was there. Simply stunning. My son and I were speechless. Staggering talent and what a backing band. ( and the bar service and prices at The Amex put The Brighton Centre to shame)

I failed to get back from Ipswich in time for this. Hope it was good- did see it was sold out so had resigned myself to missing it.

I'm glad you had a good time despite the venue. It really is an utter cackhole with no redeeming features.

If you're at a loose end on Monday, I can heartily recommend the Pictish Trail gig at the Hope. Here's a version of his "audience participation" number, "Not to Be", with the assistance of some ludicrous people.
Just added Midlake to my list, I now have 8 gigs from Oct 30th to Nov 30th.

I always think that Autumn is the best time for gigs. The Summer for festivals and catch what you can the rest of the time.

It's silly season October to mid December in Europe. There's a great gig every other day in Brighton, have fun and report back.

They can play. Loved the new stuff.
It did seem like 2 completely different crowds for Beautiful Boy and Wave Pictures.
Agree. I guess bands are done with the festival circuit and want to get out on their own. Certainly the case for new/smaller bands.
Will do!

Neutral Milk Hotel are playing the Roundhouse, Barrowlands and the Albert Hall in Manc next May. Tickets went on sale five minutes ago. Almost had a seizure

Esben & The Witch/ Teeth of The Sea/ Thought Forms at Sticky Mike's last night was overall probably my gig of the year. Thought Forms are ridculously underrated. Imagine if instead of recording Loveless, MBV had instead been influenced by Sleep & Earth. Doomgaze anyone?
Teeth of The Sea were the best band of the night. Just. The opener and closer from the new record as well as A.C.R.O.N.Y.M & the last track off the second record. Loud, together, perfect. Mark my words these guys are going places with this new album.
And my word Esben have come on in the 2 years or so since I've seen them. I caught them a fair bit between 2009-2011 and kind of lost interest truth be told, always promising but lacked a certain spark live. Last night was a revelation, they played as a 3 piece band with very little else going on. Daniel's a great drummer but it's still Rachel stealing the show with her effortlessly brilliant vocals.
