[Music] The Live Music thread

[Herr Tubthumper]

Saw PJ Harvey last night and she was wonderful. Nice setting, a warm summer evening in the courtyard of a small fortress in Spandau complete with a moat and drawbridge. She was backed by a 9 piece band who were deft and subtle but powerful when needed; their sound was excellent. The percussion and harmonies on the new album really came to the fore. Set was mainly culled from the last two albums with a handful of old classics as well. I have to say she looked bloody good as well.

If you get a chance to see her please don't miss it.

Off to Vintage Trouble in Leamington next week. Have seen them once before and was blown away. Nothing groundbreaking, just extremely tight blues/rock n' roll. Anyone else a fan?

Have seen them a three times now and always impressed of he energy of them, always entertaining.

I just think they could do so much better with the undercard.

I'm being a bad England fan tonight and going to the Hope to see Car Seat Headrest, Teens of Denial has been a very regular listen in the last few months so looking forward to this. Anyone else skipping the Slovakia game?

That is exactly my beef. The local outfits are mainly just shipped in from BIMM (obvs some will be decent.) You could do so much better for a really small outlay.

You didn't miss too much on the football btw.

Anyone else seeing Braids tonight? I suspect The Larsens will be worth catching if you get there early.

Had a look after you mentioned they are playing at Leamington and thought about going as not too far away, but they're playing on Monday when England are laying.

Yeah I booked months ago. Was a bit gutted with the result last night!

Got back yesterday from Secret Solistice Festival in Iceland.

Had a good fun few day there. Went there for Radiohead, and they didn't disappoint, actually one of the best gigs from them for a while. Loved the new album, and we got Creep right at the end.

Other highlights were Roisin Murphy and Of Monsters and Men.

Enjoyed the local bands and DJ's.

The Brian Jonestown Massacre were ace at The Concorde last night. Really, really, really strong setlist. We even got a showing of the Anton Newcombe manufactured rage pantomine.

 

[Garage_Doors]

Off to the The Rich Kids and The Professionals at the O2 Islington, hope the trains don't **** me about too much.

Reports are that the Brian Jonestown Massacre have been on a bit of a Brighton pub crawl this afternoon. Expect a slightly looser show if you're going tonight.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Parquet Courts at the Old Market in October to be booked later

Oh great.

Should be fun...

Little Barrie at 8, so an early start.

If you're still interested in going, the venue are showing the England game between the support act and Vintage Trouble. Nice touch.

Was it any good? I went and had a pint with them at The Earth and Stars in the afternoon and it was all pretty civilized to be fair. Pleased to report that Anton Newcombe is as much, if not more of a character in real life.

 

[Tarpon]

Oooh I'm quite excited about this...

Unfortunately, last minute 'complications' meant I couldn't go.

I saw BJM at Field Day, though. They were excellent.

They were great last Wednesday as well. A very hard band to dislike

If anyone is at a loose end on Saturday, we're doing a pretty tasty looking all dayer at Green Door Store.

Angel Olsen playing the C2 in October. I will almost certainly be in the mood for that one.
