The Fall Concorde 2 Thursday 25th September. Very pleased about this.

yes great news. Saw them recently at Under the Bridge and they were in top form.Mind you some of that down to being an excellent venue.

Nice that it's a Thursday as well, think the last couple of times they have played Brighton it has been a Sunday or Monday.

The godlike genius of Tim Rogers solo cracking jokes and playing tunes at Mojo's last Sunday and going back again next Thursday for something completely different bill, Katalyst (and all the way from Detroit) Guilty Simpson, should be good.

Weirdly I don't think I've ever seen them live. Maybe at Reading 90? Now that was a line up.

I went to this festival in Belgium that very Sunday. Spot the similarities on the bill - except that Nick Cave was (is) bigger in Belgium and headlined.

How things change. That was one day, one stage, 9 bands. Going to the same festival in a week or two and it's now 3 days, 8 stages and 225 bands...

Trying to decide if I was only to go to one evening which of the three would it be? Have settled for Sunday for The Fall/Pixies combo. Good to see The Wedding Prsent there. A reminder that they were a fairly big draw back in 1990.
(Thanks for PM- will get back to you soon)

Although I'm not a great festival fan, TWP were bloody brilliant that night. Starting off with the them from Cheers then doing a stonking Bizarro and Best set. I was in the front two rows going mental in the mosh pit, long hair in a black WP long sleeve shirt hoodie.

Damm! The Fall clashes with The Moons at the Green Door on the same night

 

[Egon Spengler]

Have to agree. End of The Road has the best line up of any festival this year including those abroad.

I've been the last 4 years and always had a great time.

It looks like Foxygen are back and have a Brighton gig (29/10). I was pretty disappointed when they cancelled their European tour last year. I didn't think I'd hear of them again.

Seeing them Bank Holiday weekend- they are playing Watusi in its entirety which is not exactly the best album they have done but hoping for some other tracks too.

nonsense, a strong line up but not enough variety

beard madness

Catfish and The Bottlemen are playing another gig in Brighton in December. They sold out The Haunt on the 21st of August. But I recommend them, one of the brightest looking bands breaking through at the moment.

It's a strong line-up no doubt but it's far too rockist to be the best line-up anywhere. I need to have a dance at a weekend festival, personally speaking.

Future of The Left 06 October - The Haunt.

Thank you for this great piece of news. (I am going to be pretty skint at this rate though with so many bands to see)

Machine Head at the Concorde 2 last night .
Unbeleivable !!!!!! For a band who played Wembley Arena on their last tour , this was going to be special for the lucky 600 who managed to get tickets.
I have seen some feisty bands in that venue over the years , but never a mosh pit that stretched halfway to the back . There were even a couple of circle pits chucked in for good measure .
I have never sweat so much in my life , and the bruises this morning ,remind me of some of those intense punk gigs I used to attend in the early eighties . At the end the dance floor was reminiscent of the Somme
Last night was one of those never to be repeated nights that will live long in the memory .
Thank you Machine Head , thank you for taking time out to play in my little town.

Pete Fij & Terry Bickers supporting The Pains of Being Pure At Heart at Sticky Mike's on Saturday. Tickets online for under a tenner. Nice.

Sir, where did you get them for that price?

 

[spring hall convert]

Wolf Eyes was rather good last night.

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Eventually got tickets to Jon Hopkins today only to find its a 'sit yourself down' affair!

They were excellent, the second band were diabolical and The Pains Of Being Pure at Heart were goodish in parts but nothing special.
