Live Music 2013

[PFJ]

Saw the US Bombs at the haunt last night. Not seen them before , so was quite intrigued. Not quite what I was expecting .Thought they were a skater punk band , falling somewhere in between Pennywise and Suicidal Tendencies. Sadly not . Sounded like a very poor imitation of a first wave English punk .Even their songs sounded slightly similar to more established songs of that period. Prefered the support bands to be honest ,and if I say one of those was the Asbo Retards , it will give you some idea of how disapointing the US Bombs were. Oh well , seen them now , so no need to see them again.

I saw the Asbo Retards supporting someone a few years ago. I recall the singer pulled his trousers down to reveal a Maggie Thatcher tattoo on his thigh and sang a song about it. Quite surreal.

Just confirm the singer was not HB&B.

bit belated but my brother and I went to see Adrian Edmundson and the Bad Shepherds on 1/12 at Concorde 2

absolutely brilliant as usual

 

[Trufflehound]

Jonathan Wilson tonight.

I'm expecting a time warp back to post-Woodstock 1970.

How was this? Gutted I could not go as working away from home last couple of days.

When does Live Music 2014 start? Corgi, can you start a new thread or shall we just carry on here? I have just bought a slew of tickets for the new year and want to post the details. I would start one myself but this is your rather excellent baby and do not want to steal your glory.

 

[Trufflehound]

Pre-sale for Arcade Fire in Antwerp starts tomorrow. Got my code at the ready...

If this thread is accepting entries for 2014 then I humbly submit Midlake at St George's Church on Feb 27 a stones throw away from their awesome Hanbury debut many moons ago.

On this, can I recommend Polar Bear at Komedia, especially if you like BIG hair.

I must mention Sabbath at the 02 the other night . Simply awesome !!!!!! I am a big fan of the Dio era albums and Heaven and Hell as an entity , but this was the business .
Also 3 songs from the new album just fitted in as if they had always been part of the set . I look forward to at least another tour from the loudest 60 somethings on the planet .

Good luck. I bagged some Berlin tickets this morning. Already seen them here this year, going to the London gig as well as well.

I bought some tickets for Midlake as well. They only played here a couple of months back but they have another gig in March.

I think we should carry on this thread as its sometimes fun to look back at what people have been up to. I am going to PM Hans K and see if he can change the date to 2014 on thread title as I have no idea how and if it can be done. Looking forward to seeing what you have got lined up. My over ambitious plan to see a band every week is already falling apart in week one!

KVB were unfortunately kept up North by storms. Loop after working out some sound gremlins were proper good. Seriously loud

Wooden Shjips were excellent on Monday. I'd forgotten how good they were...

Off to the Concorde 2 tonight for Chas & Dave's Christmas knees up.

HT, I think you live in/near Berlin. If you're curious about music, can endure/enjoy free-form/avant-garde jazz, and like noisy music, then I couldn't recommend this 72-year-old more highly:

Wowza. Just been listening/watching to this chap on YouTube. I have to say this is right out of my comfort zone. I'm certainly curious and the Friday night makes it attractive. I will let you know.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Another recommendation, Herr Tubthumper. Dan me Sac vs Scroobius Pip are playing in Berlin on March 3rd, T a place called Urban Spree. Get yo ass down there.

He certainly disturbs comfort zones. Hope you get the chance to see him. Either way, I'd be grateful if you attempted to return recommendations.
