[Music] The Live Music thread

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

I’m coming to the conclusion that I’m one of a very small number of people who don’t really take to the louder, poppier sound of Yard Act. I went last night wondering how the tracks from Overload would sit alongside Utopia, sadly these earlier songs had been reimagined with the addition of the backing vocalists. They themselves were rather annoying antics wise. We were reminded that the band had played at Chalk and Patterns in the past. I saw them at Mutations and Great Escape and much preferred those evenings.

I don't get Yard Act. Not for me.

That’s fair enough. We all like different things.

They move me. Lyrically brilliant, joyous, positive and just plain fun.

Looking forward to seeing them again at Glastonbury.

Anyone else going to Green Door tonight or Chalk?

Managed to make my first gig of the year yesterday, very pleasant Tapir! at the Hope and Ruin.

Looking forward to Bladerunner Live. It's at the crappy Brighton Centre but we got in early and nabbed a couple of cheap seats that are positioned well. This has had good reviews with a live band. I like the music and the film (ok, it's a tad over rated) but my mate is a Bladerunner nut so it'll be fun to go with him.

First gig of the year for me as well for Chalk at Green Door Store, they were epic.

Look out for them , they're going places.

Why the barren patch? Even I've been to a few this year.

Europa League, just nothing really taking my fancy, and when I saw something I fancied it had already sold out. Got three coming up soon anyway, in The Orielles, Duster and Bodega.

Good gawd, I love Gilles Peterson. Football, music and politics entwined into one:

How can we save British nightlife from collapse? Look to Germany – and its football | Gilles Peterson

Small venues are the heart of our musical culture. Here’s a two-pronged plan to keep that heart beating, writes broadcaster and DJ Gilles Peterson

Excellent night with Doctors of Madness at the Duke of Wellington (with our very own Attila guesting on violin). One of my favourite bands and to see them in such a small setting was a real treat. My second gig in a week, following the Sam Lee one on Wednesday (a very different show) ... both really excellent

And with Aoife Scott to look forward to in a couple of weeks, it's a decent month for gig going,

Off to see The Wandering Hearts at the Komedia this evening. Utterly sublime folk/americana with harmonies to die for.

I’ll say hello. Unfortunately I missed out on the Concorde date but am on the waiting list.

Went to David Preston, Seb Rochford and Elliot Galvin at the wonderful Rose Hill Tavern last Thursday. Really inventive and charming.

Saturday have a double-bill: Shabaka Hutchings in-store at Resident, followed by Johnny Marr at The Dome

I’ve been reading a fair bit about his new direction. Please report back.

(I’m was in two minds regarding the reed-ing pun, decided against it)
