[Music] The Live Music thread

[Fingers]

Off to see Embrace on Hastings pier tomorrow evening! Random venu, should be decent.

The C2 Psychedelic Furs gig also passed me by. They were the second band I saw following on from The Cure, both gigs at Hammersmith Odeon. At the Furs gig, there was a podgy guy with sprouting, spiky hair in front blocking my view -- one Robert Smith.

Marc Riley indicated that Flatworms are playing some dates next month. They haven't been officially announced yet, but that is imminent. From what I gathered, the nearest to us is London, but it might just be worth a trip up there from the couple of songs I've heard. They also feature Oh Sees' current bass player, so might be quite a chuckle live.

Red hot sand was a favourite track of mine the other year.

Gigs coming up for me
God speed
Shellac
Acid mothers
Big Brave
At the drive in (supporting royal blood)

Am tempted to see by Dinosaur Jr and the Thing but in London.

Hmmm. You've informed me that The Thing and Shellac are playing. Good work.

PS I saw Dinosaur at an ATP about a decade ago, and they were awful

 

[redoubtable seagull]

Shellac are at Concorde next month, the Thing are in London in November.

First saw Dinosaur Jr in '88 supporting Sonic Youth. They meander between greatness and sludgy mess as a live band. I liked the last album but doubt I'll trek to London to see them.

Also Metz are playing at the Haunt in November

Shellac are one of my favourite live bands, and I've seen them five or six times. Always terrifyingly brilliant and brilliantly terrifying.
Never seen The Thing: I'm very keen to, and might even trek up to London for it. The bonus is that it's a weekend.
I first saw Dinosaur in 88 too. They were so loud that they forced a shift in my polytechnic's music policy. Their dodgy show was at a Thurston-curated ATP, where I first encountered Peter Brotzmann who was my star of that particular show.
I've got Michael Kiwanuka, Godspeed, Ghostpoet and Factory Floor performing Metropolis coming up.
Also saw Metz at Audio a few years back. Impressive, but ear-splitting stuff too.

First time I went to The Dome in the early eighties was to see the Furs. Slightly pissed off that this one seems to have passed me by...

Think it sold out pretty quick. I've only seen them once, 1982 at the Pink Coconut (of all places)

Showing my age, but I saw Elkie Brooks in Torquay last night. Good show and an absolutely amazing voice. At 72 she is doing really well. Played all her classics and some great covers too.

Nah, you're showing Elkie's age.

Rude.

I like Penelope Isles - saw them last year and bought some kind of homemade CD by them. Good stuff. Taking my wife and children to see their favourite band next week: The National.

Would anyone like a ticket to Wilko Johnson at the ROH on Tuesday?

Set for big things by the looks of it. Have been picked up by a manager with a very good track record.

I went all cultured this week and attended the opening night of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. It featured the world premiere of a suite based on the music for the film The Life of Pi, and they had flown Bombay Jayashri in from India to sing this little beauty



Next up, the Sherlocks.

Just announced: Belle & Sebastian - Brighton Dome on Thu 15 Mar 2018

 

[Machiavelli]

I don't think it's featured on here, but Rocket from the Crypt are playing Brighton later this year. They were enormous fun last time I saw them, some 20+ years ago.
