I am convinced I had a burst ear drum from being near the front at Mogwai October time. It was painful for about a month after.

That bit in the encore was exceptionally loud.

Phantom Band at The Haunt?

On the shortlist, didn't quite make the 20(1).

BSP tonight and then an excellent local bill on Saturday Fvnerals Pink Lizards and Vincent Vocoder Voice @ Green Door.

We've played at the Concorde a few times this year, we supported the Sonics on one occasion, and the Green Door store, both venues that can sound good but are too loud, likewise the Haunt. THe Brunswick remains a good music venue . . .

For those about to Rock, we salute you!

I have literally just bought my ticket for the Berlin Olympiastadion show.

Good to hear mate - is that before or after the Wembley dates?

 

[Trufflehound]

Having already got my tickets for Godspeed You! Black Emperor in Amsterdam on April 30, I thought I'd turn it into a double-header weekend.

So I now also have tickets for, er, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, in The Hague on May 1...


And then there's the Enschede craft beer festival on Saturday 2nd, and the Den Bosch beer fesitval on Sunday 3rd, but that's another thread... There are some advantages to living in a tiny country.

First gig I ever saw was AC/DC. September 1977, supported by Mink Deville, who therefore lay claim to the accolade of being the first band I ever saw.

Mine was The Cure in Hammersmith Odeon, 1983 I think. Supported by And Also The Trees.

Not seeing any band until February and that's The Jesus And Mary Chain at the end of the month. Any January recommendations from anyone?

 

[Pogue Mahone]

White Fence are playing Sticky Mikes on the 30th. I will be there.

They are Tim Presley's band - he's been about, working with Ty Segall and all that Californian crew (he's from LA), as well as touring with The Fall as a member of the band.

Lo-fi psychedelia, in a nutshell.
