[Music] The Live Music thread

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

We booked tickets to see Chris Ramsay (comedian) that night. Might see if Mrs DCH fancies going to see him with her sister while I go up to Kentish Town for HMHB with my mate.

Has to be HMHB. Hope you manage it.

Paul Weller added to the Great Escape on May 16th. Venue to be announced, free tickets available to wristband holders only via the great escape website

Sun Kil Moon playing at St Georges Church. Amazing news, except its £28 a ticket! More than they cost at the Barbican!

Who's seeing The Pop Group tonight?

Just been chatting to someone who is the best mate of The Pop Group's bassist. He lives in Brighton apparently. This is all.

Just got home from Super Furries. I first saw them in 1995, and have seen them many times since. Obviously I haven't seen them for six years.

They were incredible. There is NO band that I would prefer to see. They remain the World's greatest band.

I was there too loved it. 3rd time I've seen them always great live, felt there was a bit of a mid-set lull probably due to playing 4 consecutive tracks of Mwng which slowed the pace. Thought the gig really caught fire from the encore and the final 6/7 songs were all epic.

Noticed only one track from the previous 3 albums Zoom. Would have like to have seen show your hand, Ohio heat and something from the last album that I like.

Still played for 130 minutes and must have played c.25 songs

I thought the set list was superb. Yes, there was only Zoom from the last 3 albums, and the 4 consecutive Mwng songs dampened the atmosphere for a few minutes - it sounded like everyone was talking - but they pretty much chose to play what I'd have asked them to apart from this.

Mrs PM was hoping for 'Baby ate my 8 ball', in an ironic, 'it's just silly' kind of way.

And Zoom was just wonderful.

Black (as in Wonderful Life guy) at the Windlesham Theatre. A change of pace. Will be seeing The Go! Team at the Boileroom in Guildford at the end of the month.

Sounds great. Would have loved to have been there. And I love Baby Ate My 8 Ball.

Next time, HT. They played Run Christian, Run, which we talked about. Made the hairs on the back of my neck stick up.

Avoiding thinking about the fact that I'm missing the Furries tonight (too expensive, and Brixton Academy...) with Lower Dens at The Green Door Store. They were great last time I saw them in Brighton at the Hope so expecting more of the same - new album is great.

Worth every penny if it's full band.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Do DJs count as live music? Off to Berghain to catch Tom Diciccio and Bicep.

Me and a good friend have just bought tickets for this. As raging teenage Marillion fans we both saw this the first time round....a whopping 30 years ago.

Can anyone out uncool me?

Got my tickets for the Friday night at Islington for this. Will be interesting to see who has put on more weight in 30 years - me or Fish. It might be a close run thing!

Excellent. Myself and Cheeky are also going Friday. Think it's a draw in the Fish/Tubthumper hair stakes!

Swans are coming to town? Worth seeing?

Swans are coming to town? Worth seeing?

Yup. One piece of advice: take earplugs.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Got British Sea Power ticket for my birthday yesterday. Chuffed.

 

[Tarpon]

Anyone going to see the return of Mrs Murphy wed night?

 

[Tarpon]

Roisin absolutely nailed it tonight. Effortless class. Night peaked for me with Simulation leading into Jealousy into Exploitation. I do like a wardrobe change too. Fabulous.
