[Music] The Live Music thread

[Pogue Mahone]

Just about to see Kraftwerk perform Autobahn, first night of their Katalogue Berlin residency. Venue is the Mies Van De Rohe designed gallery which is basically a single story glass box in the middle of the city. Can't wait.

My dad met Mies Van Der Rohe on many occassions when at Harvard studying Architecture, My dad's tutor was Walter Gropius, and Van Der Rohe was a close friend.

True story, if a little irrelevant and self indulgent.

Enjoy the gig, HT.

Just put 2 War on Drugs Brighton Dome tickets up in the 'Classifieds' section if anyone interested.

Anyone going to see Benjamin Booker in February? More importantly, did anyone buy too many tickets? I could really do with one (or two).

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I'm envious, but at least can hold on to the memories of Electricity at Tate Modern (2013/14?) and them at the Festival Hall (2004). I'm sure you'll have a great time.

I was at the Festival Hall gig as well.

Bloody hell. Self-indulge away, I love stories like this. You need to tell me more next time we meet.

I will be sure to bore you to death.

I was so excited tonight I broke my own rule of 1 photo max.

Please do, I have a lay-mans interest in architecture and am familiar with the Bauhaus history....a school which both Gropius and Mies van der Rohe led.

Any chance you could increase the size of the pictures? Can't quite see the ears of the people in front of you

I'm led to believe that one of my "how come they're not bigger"'s is supporting Panda Bear on his forthcoming European jaunt.

I give you Jib Kidder, this one reminds me of Beck a bit but he's done a ridiculous amount of stuff ranging from the good to the sublime. Get on board!

Another night, another Kraftwerk gig. Tonight its Trans Europe Express.

Another night, another Kraftwerk gig. Tonight its Trans Europe Express.

This is simply unfair- bearing in mind too the fact that early January is historically quiet for live music.

 

[spring hall convert]

I'll just leave this here - come down after the Forest game, say hi!

Looks like a great line up. Worth it for AK/DK alone!

What are you doing from Wednesday to Friday?

Bloody part timer.

 

[Tarpon]

Hmmm...Leeds Fri night & Blackburn Albion next day...

 

[spring hall convert]

Yep, looks interesting.

The top 4 in particular shold be a really good finish. I really wanted to make sure there was a variety of sounds and I think we acheieved it. I remember going to 2-3-4 last year, which was good but it felt like 80% garage rock, by the end of it I just didn't want to hear another guitar.

However, there's a whole other day of great stuff that couldn't play - we'll save that for Day Two.
