Hope so. Last time they played at Sticky Mikes and I did not see the band at all due to the low stage. They sounded good though but ultimately disappointing as the lead singer is pretty captivating and worthy of attention.

That was my problem with that gig, sounded great saw sod all.

I can't see them this time as I'll still be in Barca experiencing the city/ recovering from Primavera. Even if I was here I'd probably plump for Swans/ Jenny Hval that night. It's an outrageously horrible clash that one, 2 of the best live bands in the world on the same night.

I've set a reminder on my phone for monday morning. I'll try the C2 website which is normally pretty good. Last saw PE with Anthrax in Brixton, it was f*****g AWESOME!

Anyone doing Presidents of the USA this weekend at C2?

No, but I've seen that film they made on them and the Brian Jonestown Massacre, which was incredibly funny. Not that it was meant to be.

You've confused them with the Dandy Warhols haven't you? This is the lot that did Peaches...

I went for Melt Banana as have enjoyed them since listening to them on John Peels show. Sure Swans will be just as loud though and equally as entertaining.

Really enjoying the Trans EP's Red & Green. It's Bernard Butler's (ex-Suede) new project and sounds like a cross between Neu!, Television & Post White Light Velvets. Understated majesty. They play Green Door on March 8



I think you'll like it you know....

I have and, as a result, was being v harsh on PotUSoA.

That's bloody fantastic.

Shame their Green Door gig is the same evening as John Grant, so I will miss it, but that really is very, very good.

The content of both EP's is on you tube, all songs 8 released so far are blinding.

Looking forward to the Trans show can't believe it's not sold out. Thanks to this thread I have now checked out Melt Banana and am blown away. Quite extraordinary as David Coleman May have put it, the Green Door gig threatens to be epic.

I don't think it's even close to selling out.

Odd thought Butler would have been a draw, and their stuff sounds really good.

Caught Hawkwind last night at Shepherd's Bush Empire. They perfornmed Space Ritual in its entirety - must be the first time they've done that since the 70's.

Jolly good it was too.

He's deliberately kept it low key though, I think that's pretty respectable to be fair. I think if he wanted to, he could sell it on his name alone.

This week's Radio Show featuring bands playing soon in Brighton; Speedy Ortiz, Joanna Gruesome & Goblin. I think you'll like Goblin if you haven't heard them before....

Taken me a while to get round to this week's show but always well worth the wait. Really enjoying the Wytches latest and good to see them signed up to Heavenly records. Goblin are a band I know little about but worth exploring from their track.

I was there too having legged it to the train at the Amex!

I thought it was pretty good as well.

Busy week for me this week - Goblin this evening, Crystal Antlers tomorrow (this is now a free gig) & John Murry on Friday.

London Grammar at the Dome last night. Hannah Reid's voice has to be heard live to be believed, and Dot Major's multi-instrument ability is something to behold - from drums to keyboard and back in the same song. Met them post-gig, three of the loveliest, most down to earth people you could wish to meet.
