Wolf Alice twice next week. Southampton on Monday and Bournemouth on Saturday. Bournemouth support is the excellent Best Friends, too.

Herr - I saw this thread on Drowned In Sound and immediately thought of you. 1 post in particular gives some good tips on albums that have come out of the SF Garage Rock "scene" Though I would say the essential Oh Sees album is Help but the ones quoted are good 'uns as well.

2- Mac Demarco

Just bought some tickets to see Kurt Vile next Thursday.

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

Sharon Shannon at the Ropetackle in November. Also very tempted by Hot Club of Cowtown, who we saw there last year and were top class, and Sigur Ros if there are any tickets left.

 

[HantsSeagull]

Elvis Costello at Royal Albert Hall next wednesday and I shall definitely be taking in Adrian Edmundson and the Bad Shepherds in Brighton at beginning of december.

Green door store Friday 7th June, The savages gig was where I picked up on them aswell

Thanks. Unfortunately won't be able to get to that. Look forward to a review though.

Looked pretty expensive to me when I first saw this.

Exactly. Would love to see Uncle Len live, but £84 for the cheapest ticket??! No way.

Instead, I've booked 2 tickets for me and my teenage son to see Eric Bibb at The Brook in Southampton on Oct 27th (a "mere" £22.50 each...)

If you like your acoustic guitar blues, with a soulful voice from the deep south, influenced by Dylan, Taj Mahal, BB King, Pops & Mavis Staples, Pete Seeger, Ry Cooder, Robert Cray etc etc, then get yerselves down there.

We'll be in our BHA shirts

 

[The Notorious BHA]

Off to the Isle of Wight festival in a few weeks! Can't wait.

 

[Hans Kraay]

Glasto again it's my 5th in a row and love it

Yay. Me to, but think I'm up to 10 in a row now.

 

[Ozziemate]

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the stopover at Lewes with Mumford and Sons in July, is anyone else on here going?

"Almost" like being at a Queen gig at The Emirates last night

I'm going to see Hot Club of Cowtown at the Ropetackle - also Eddie & THe Hot Rods. Saw the Move there last night and it was much better than I expected.

That looks genuinely rubbish! The rubbish music doesn't help, but the amount of people standin round looking bored is weird. Surely if you're going to pay all that money for a Queen tribute act you'd muster a little enthusiasm for their most famous song?

Who said anything about a queen tribute act? Was a Green Day gig and they just happened to play that over the PA between bands.

Going to see a couple of up and coming bands this week .
Mudhoney at The Concorde ,Tuesday and the mighty UK Subs at the Haunt on Thursday.

Very tempted by Eddie & The Hot Rods, though not sure Barrie Masters is quite up to jumping off speaker stacks these days ...

Wire just announced for Komedia in Sept. Nice

Wire just announced for Komedia in Sept. Nice

They've been in cracking form the last couple of times they've been down and I think the Komedia will be the right size for them as the Concorde was half empty. I'm keen on hearing a fair bit of the "new" record.

 

[Spider]

Am I right in thinking that the venue upstairs at Komedia no longer exists and all gigs are now downstairs? The downstairs venue if one of the worst I've ever been in - it's not very big but I genuinely couldn't see a thing. I'm not a tall guy, but the fact that they had TV screens showing the stage in such a small venue suggests it's a common problem - I've certainly never seen such a thing in any other venues of that size. I won't be going to any gigs there, unless they've improved it?
