[Music] The Live Music thread

[spring hall convert]

They're awful live. Spent more of their time clay pigeon shooting than singing on the last few tours.

Let's Push Things Forwards in a little club at 2am on the other hand...Mike's DJ sets are a better way to experience it

Agreed on all fronts.

Quite simply one of the greatest rock outfits I've ever seen. Consistently brilliant, last night was second only to when I saw them with The Ex in a smallish club in Barcelona a few years back.

It's not exactly a novel point, but what makes their live show so impressive and immersive is the attention to detail, and the distinctive sound that they get out of their instruments. They're deeply interested in physics, sound and electrical engineering and they really have put together a sound that sets them apart from others.

I would agree but would add that each musician has been honing their sound since the 80s in the various bands they played with and together before forming Shellac in the early 90s. See for example, you can hear the Shellac sound in elements of Big Black, Rapeman, Breaking Circus, Flour and Volcano Suns etc.

Bloody brilliant gig last night.

Downtown Boys at The Haunt tonight. The last time they came they played a brilliant rammed matinee at GDS.

Alestorm will be playing the Concorde 2 in February - tickets go on sale on Friday morning.

Went to see them last time and it was a very entertaining evening.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Well I tried for tickets to The Streets for the nostalgia and all but the entire tour sold out in less than a minute. Lo and behold on ticketmaster's secondary selling website GetMeIn there were tickets immediately available for triple the price. It's incredible that this is legal, frankly.

Not overly pissed off as 50 quid a throw was my top end anyway but if anyone knows of a ticket for the Brixton show on Thursday 26th April then get at me.

If anyone's going to Ulrika Spacek later (I can't make it unfortunately) both supports should be good but keep an eye out for openers Happy Couple who are 3/4 of one of my favourite Brighton bands of recent years Lunar Quiet having tragically lost the other 1/4 to suicide last year.

They released this rager 18 months ago - https://lunarquiet.bandcamp.com/track/endless-migraine

Cravats and The Nightingales for me tomorrow.

I really want to see St. Vincent at Brixton Academy tomorrow but I haven't really got the funds. Anyone else going?

 

[spring hall convert]

Jack and Lily from Penelope Isles are both doing solo sets at the Lord Nelson tonight, free entry, starts around 8.30.

I doubt they'll play this but any excuse

Dream Wife at the Haunt tomorrow, should be an absolute cracker. Their GDS show was superb.
