[Music] The Live Music thread

[Herr Tubthumper]

Just got back from seeing Broken Bells. Another gig with impeccable sound and that Danger Mouse fella is one cool, and very self-effacing, dude. I also had my first foray into free jazz a week ago with Peter Brötzmann.

Goldfrapp were excellent last night, certainly helped make up for the disappointment of Friday nights balls up.

Started of with 6 tracks from the new album, and then started going a bit more glam-rock towards the end, highly enjoyable.

This week's Sonic Shuffle features tracks from forthcoming Brighton gigees Swans, Grasshopper, Broker, Mike Watt (well sort of...) & Aluk Toldo. Enjoy!

Glad there was a show despite the Mothers Day distraction.
I enjoyed the The Ex tracks from the last two shuffles - and yes- quite a difference in style.

I'll try and get one more in before the gig.

Interesting, fascinating and enjoyable. The closest my personal listening has come to this sort of stuff is a bit of Sun Ra. There is a hell of a lot to take in at these gigs and it was an aural assault at times and I cannot claim to have totally understood everything I witnessed but I will certainly go again. I had a facinating chat with a local guy who explained a lot of what free jazz is all about after the gig. It's quite an interesting scene.

Just bought a ticket to see East India Youth who is playing in a small bar I go to.

It's quite an interesting scene.

As I understand you are in the right place for it (as you are for quite a lot of stuff!)

I was really impressed with EIY earlier this year

Youthful post-punkers Grasshopper play a free gig at the Seven Stars tonight, around 9pm. Worth popping your head around for an hour if you are in town. They are very young and very raw but have the songs and an outstanding frontman. Resident are keen

Spit Shake Sisters who I've been banging on about for a while play the Cowley Club tomorrow night for £3 - I wrote a few words here

Next weekend looks amazing for gigs. I've got Forest Swords on Friday night, Jospehine Foster Saturday night, Esben and the Witch & Thought Forms Sunday lunchtime and then Stephen O'Malley/Aluk Toldo/ Lutine to finish it off.

And an Albion game!

Any idea what time Esben are on ? I used to work with Thomas and havn't seen them since they played the Pavilion Theatre a couple of years ago. Thought they were great that night and expected big things for them .

They play the Hope at a matinee show, tickets availble if you buy the split record (which is very good) with Thought Forms from Resident I'd imagine they'd be on around 1.30-2.00 pm. Thought Forms are worth seeing as well.

His album presses a lot of my musical buttons and seeing him at a bar I frequent should be excellent according to your review. I have read a few interviews with him and he seems a sharp kid; he's going to go a long way I think. Oh, and having been in Berghain at 6am I'll let you know if Hinterland is out of place or not

East India Youth is supporting British Sea Power at KOKO London this Wednesday. No suprise it is sold out. I don't have a ticket sadly.

The Great Escape timings are up now.

They seem to have done this earlier than normal.
Plently of time to make those agonising decisions.
