[Music] The Live Music thread

[Herr Tubthumper]

Should be fine for KV I reckon but the sound was a mess for Deerhunter in October I hear. Dry bar as well so sneak a hip flask in if that bothers you.

Or take a bottle of water and get it converted into wine?

Allegedly when Mark Kozelek played at All Saints he heard the support act soundchecking (some local band) and told them to piss off because he thought they were shit.

There wasn't a support act and the people on the door/ promoter were somewhat sheepish.

This lot are playing on the 20th Feb at the Concorde for any of you that enjoy a lot of noise with your beer...

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Off to see The Maccabees in a minute. That may not excite many of you, but me and Mrs Mahone love 'em.

Built to Spill on Thursday, too.

Enjoy. Coincidentally I've been listen to Marks to Prove it today.

Just bought tix for Ulrich Schnauss in Oxford. I can't wait!

Good stuff. Cheers HT.

Not bothering with the support - it's Drenge. The most Junior Mahone loves them, and I have previously seen them with him. Unfortunately they don't do anything for me.

Excellent tonight, HT. Even more celebratory than Berlin. And we weren't the only 'older' people there, which was nice.

Tempting fate, but I just got a ticket for: Calvin 'Beat Happening' Johnson with support from Amelia Fletcher OBE's current combo 'The Catenary Wires' at The Railway Club on Monday night

(this should probably be in the C86 thread)

Which was rather good. Additional undercard of 'The Sticks' who evidently included and erstwhile 'Pooh Stick' who delivered some Ten Bensonish entertainment. Calvin Johnson was glorious.

Glad you made it. Where is the Railway Club exactly?

down a cul de sac opposite the unnecessary second Co-op near seven dials. Good little venue and £3 for a pint.

Traams supporting as well which makes this even more of a must than it was already.

Due to family connections I got free tickets and thought they were pretty good, like the direction they are going in with the new album. Not really my type of music but you've got to respect a band still going after 10 years when most of their contemporaries bottomed out years ago.

I agree about their new album - I think it's their best. Always liked them though.

As an aside, I believe it may have been you that 'introduced' me to Built to Spill on the albums thread. Thanks for that - really looking forward to seeing them at The Concorde on Thursday.

Is anyone going to the Mutations Festival? I only want to see Ought on Sunday, debating on whether it's worth the £31.

 

[spring hall convert]

Ok, I know there's been a bit of griping about Mutations (mostly from me!) and I still think the Sunday looks vastly superior to the Saturday.

However, it's a music festival featuring some seriously good acts on our doorstep. I did a small preview with some tips and videos for them below. Two bad clashes for me Merlin Tonto vs Vision Fortune (I never turn down a chance to see Merlin Tonto and this will be no different) and Om vs Jane Weaver (erring to Om as I've never seen them and it's a bit more of an event. Jane Weaver'll be back soon.)

Enjoy Brixton. Saw this tour the other week. Slayer are as brutal and ferocious as when I first clapped eyes on them.

Karl Bartos last night. John Grant tomorrow. Motörhead Friday.

Think you'll need to make the most of Motorhead - I have a feeling that this could be their last tour with Lemmy's continuing health issues. I just hope he releases that solo album before he shuffles off to the underworld.
