Slowdive at SWX in Bristol last night. Great to see them in a small venue. Shoegaze central. Marvellous.

I love their latest album

I love their latest album

Yes, it's excellent, as was their 'comeback' album in 2017. Definitely a progression from their earlier stuff, and the boys certainly know their way around their guitars, producing some epic noise!

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

Lloyd Cole on Monday at the Dome was great...

Even more so as they were knocking out £39 tickets for a tenner...

Nearly 3 hours of his career with the best from Rattlesnakes and the new album the highlights...

Dressed like an ice-cream seller to boot

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

Embrace on Monday @ Chalk...A sell out and wow, the boys from Bailiff Bridge didn't disappoint...

Played 'The Good Will Out' all the way through then some other stuff, weirdly the opening track ( All you good good people) more of a banger than most bands encores

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Saw Bernard Butler in the Komedia on Sunday evening.
Lovey guy, lovely guitarist.
Also visited numerous lovely pubs.
Lovely evening all round.

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

King Creosote 'in-store' at Resident this evening...

His album I DES is a thing of beauty, as is his voice esp live...

I would say joyful but the album is about death

Bob Vylan was carnage at Chalk last night. I don’t agree with all his views, but really respect his DIY ethos. This was particularly highlighted by him running his own merch stand including doing all the card payments himself. Remember he’s sold out a 2500 venue in London tonight - if he was signed to a major he would not need to do this. I thought Panic Shack were also good.

It was just brilliant. I’m battered and bruised from the mosh pit. I’m probably too old for this sort of behaviour.

Had no idea he was that big to be honest, hopefully he plays Glastonbury again next year.

Never too old. I’m 43 and intend to be in the pit until I simply I can’t do it. Also battered from last night. Felt bad for the guy who got carried out - definitely knocked out unconscious (at least initially).

@CorgiRegisteredFriend The other band I saw last week which I forgot to mention when I saw you was Heartworms.

Fantastic gig at Village Underground. JoJo is destined to be a star! Sadly, no Airfix kits on sale on the merch stand though...

I think they are doing Rockaway Beach in Jan.

Thanks Kevo. I will check them out- love a bit of airfix. Thanks too for the Seapower Tunbridge date. Unfortunately the whole of that February tour coincides with my daughters wedding. But should make London.

 

[Simster]

Went to see The Prodigy at Ally Pally on Saturday with my son.

I'm still knackered.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Tricky doing Maxinquaye at the Roundhouse in March. 50 quid a ticket. Not sure I can be bothered with a 100 quid+ night out for it.

Doing both London dates, so hopefully see you there.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Simply cannot wait for Hania Rani at Chalk in March

16/12/2023 - Sleep Token at The OVO Arena Wembley.

What a band, what a community, what a night.

My artist of 2023 didn't disappoint with their show. A pulsating mix of genres from pop to RnB, Hip Hop and Metal.

Part way through the show they announced the vocalist was ill and struggling to sing, so the crowd were the vocalists for three songs which was an incredible coming together.

Vessel managed to sing towards the end for a triumphant end to a massive 2023 for the band. If you ever get the chance to see them then take it as they are amazing performers.

 

[Machiavelli]

I don't suppose anyone on here was suitably arch and rich enough to see Sault in their debut gig?

No. But I really do hope they tour this production.
