The Great Escape

[Rookie]

(Had a look and can't see anything but did only look on the front page.)

Anyone else going to the above this weekend? Got any have to see, don't miss or recommendations?

Should be a good little event

 

[Mellotron]

I recommend a friend's band, Hunting The Minotaur.

Very young, but absolutely bursting with charisma and talent.

HUNTING THE MINOTAUR on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Videos

 

[Notters]

I am, assuming this tonsilitis has gone.
My recommendation would be sea power, sea power, SEA POWER!

 

[Vicar!]

Handsome Family - Thursday
King Blues - Saturday

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I'm going. My tips are Golden Silvers, Church of the Seven Bells and White Denim. Datarock are a giggle as well.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I've been the past 2 years and it is great. Seen some excellent bands.

 

[Austrian Gull]

May I recommend Liam Finn, a really talented singer-songwriter from New Zealand. His father is Neil Finn (lead singer of Crowded House) and his uncle Tim Finn (main man of Split Enz) but he has own style - much more experimental and edgy.

He's playing Friday and Saturday night. Definitely worth seeing!

 

[Hotchilidog]

King Blues, Evan Dando, BSP, Emiliana Torrini, Datarock and many more.

I was going to give it a miss this year, but there are so many bands playing it represents real value, if you are light on your feet you could probably get to see about 30 bands this weekend. I'm hoping to see King Blues, BSP and Evan Dando and I'll just take my chances with the rest.

Where is this event ?

 

[nathanthebest]

[Sajerz]

ENTER SHIKARI saturday

screamooooooo

 

[Notters]

Where is this event ?

A large number of clubs and pubs in Brighton, you get a wristband for circa £40

 

[Wilka]

Want to see Idlewild on Saturday but not sure it's worth £25 for the day ticket unless I get to see some other good bands. Can't make the other two days.

 

[Wilka]

Any idea what or where the "The Elipse Street Gig - Saturday 16th May" is?

I see Idlewild are playing there as well which if it's early would be good as I could also see British Sea Power and then £25 isn't looking to bad.

 

[Springal]

I am going to see Kasabian, can't wait!

 

[shoreham moonraker]

elipse street gig is outside geminis on the beach, i have a feeling its the macabees but dont quote me on that, if i find out anymore will post on here.

 

[Notters]

shame the weather's gonna be shit (again)

 

[herecomesaregular]

i would recommend:

- Titus Andronicus (if you like US punky Pogues/Bright Eyes/Libertines)
- Sweethead (one of Queens of the Stone Age with a VERY sexy female singer, nothing released yet)
- Gang Of four (post punk legends ripped off by many bands, from Elastica to Bloc Party).

but.... if it means i can't get in to see any of them, then i'll be well annoyed!

 

[Horsham Gull]

Kid British are quality see you down there

 

[The Face]

Skint & Demoralised and The Charlatans are the only two I'm really fussed about seeing tbh.
