[Music] The Live Music thread

[Pogue Mahone]

Off to MELT! Festival today. Looking forward to this. Django Django, Young Fathers, Jamie XX, Jon Hopkins, Giorgio Moroder, Hercules and The Love Affair, Scuba, Marcel Dettman and the wonderfully cool Ellen Allien are all in my sights this weekend.

That sounds great. I wish they'd put it on a week later...

Have a great time!

News to me, good news. The last time I saw them they were the highlight of an ICA fundraising do at The Dominion Th eatre. A night where they outshone The Kroros Quartet, Microdisney and David Bowie performing 'Look Back In Anger' on roller skates.

What a great line up.

Might be mistaken but you may be interested in this too:

Jason Isbell plays Concorde 2 Tues 19 Jan 2016. Tix on sale Fri 17 July. New album out same day.

I am VERY pleased he is coming to town.

Just got tickets to see Low in October. Even better, they are playing the Manchester Cathedral, should be the perfect setting.

Last band I saw was Ride, they too were excellent, although Andy Bell was doing his best to look like Liam Gallagher.

Saw Low a couple of years ago at Hove Old Market. It was December time and they played Just Like Christmas from the excellent Christmas Album. It was quite outstanding.

That's a good track, and quite evocative. I hope they come to Brighton on this album.

Was anyone at Pere Ubu last night? David Thomas was not in a good way, I'm sad to report.

Yep, definitely having that. My favourite "Drive By Trucker".

Really looking forward to seeing Micachu and The Shapes at Green Door tonight. Anyone going should get there early and catch Hypnotized.

Thanks. High lights were Django Django and the astonishingly good Jon Hopkins. I've never seen a crowd truly lose it for a long time but the peak of his set had people round me just flinging their limbs around like dervishes. It's very clever how he builds his music and then plays with the sound volume when you think it can't go further. Truly mesmerizing stuff.

This was a cracking set - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p02v3hl4/glastonbury-2015-jon-hopkins

Micachu was her usual self last night. 80% great 20% infuriating. Her new album might end up being more experimental than what has gone before.

The New Order gigs look pretty good. Dettman, Avery and Weatherall on the same night'll be a lot of fun.

Cannot wait for the return of Taman Shud if it's half as good as the last show it will be brilliant. Will be at ATEOS and maybe MDC too. Also going to Black Rooster Black Shag at the Albert on the 11th.

Good to see mention of Edge Of The Sea. Not sure I totally agree with the description of a typical Wedding Present Fan but parts of that are spot on!

Anyone else see Luna last night? Was a shame that they got moved from the Old Market to Sticky Mikes but still a fantastic gig. Perfect summer tunes, and nice to see Dean Wareham and guitarist playing so well together. They should be playing to a lot more people.

Gutted to have missed this. One of those bands I have a real soft some spot for. What was the set list like?

Can't give you too much info on set list as I'm only a recent listener to Luna, but I listened a lot to their 2002 love album pre gig and recognised a lot of the songs from that.

Anyone going to Sun Kil Moon tomorrow? Not quite sure how it's going to work with the St James Street Pride thing going on a few moments away - sure Mark Kozelek will have a few things to say about that. Are pubs around kemp town manageable outside of St James St or is the whole area just a bit shit whilst it's on?

I believe it cuts off at the top of St James Street so Barley Mow, Thomas Kemp, Golden Cannon will open and accessible.

I would have gone but £30+ when there's plenty else to do seemed a bit steep.

Thanks. It's bloody steep to be honest but I realised that if it was, say £20 in London I would have gone, so thought I might as well as it's on the doorstep.
