Just seen Ezra Furman. What a fun guy and a great performer. Hookworms and Ezra are two of the best gigs I’ve been to in ages.

Coming up next week British Sea Power Tuesday night and Hookworms on Saturday.

Martin Carr from the Boo Radleys at the Albert on Monday. Very good & far darker than their hits might lead you to believe.
Good local supports too

Ride tonight at ULU. Looking forward to some quality tunes and guitar squall. And lots of balding middle-aged men.

Coming up next week British Sea Power Tuesday night.

Looking forward to this very much, they always seem to pull it out of the bag at Concorde II.

A Tuesday night never the best but a home crowd and being sold out will improve the experience.

There's no such thing as a 'week night' in Brighton, as Ian McNabb commented at The Icicle Works' recent (Thursday I think, I was very drunk) gig "Brighton, what an amazing place, it doesn't look like a ****ing school night out there!"

That was a good night

Certainly was!

Anvil were great at the Green Door last night. A good old fashioned two hour rock and roll show, just like they used to make them.

Saw Paul Draper (ex-Mansun) at The Haunt yesterday - great show, although not keen on the venue!

I nearly bought his car once. I didn’t because it stank of smoking.

A boring but true story! I had no idea who he was.

Nils Frahm was a bit of a treat at The Dome. First time I've seen him, and it's quite something witnessing him crafting all those sounds with ALL that kit of his.

Whilst British Sea Power were a bit ploddy at The Concorde. They played a career spanning greatest hits type affair which doesn't really work with them as a lot of their 'hit' songs sound very similar that led to a pretty one paced outing. It needed a few more of the more raucous numbers (Spirit of St. Louis, Scottish Wildlife Experience, Apologies to Insect Life, Zeus) to get the dynamics right.

Still pretty good though. There was plenty to like about Yumi and The Weather supporting as well.

Oh. And is there a more extraneous member of a band than Abi Fry in British Sea Power? The odd backing vocal and a violin that doesn't sound plugged in.

The one thing you couldn't characterise Nils Frahm as is ploddy. A remarkable range of pieces, ranging from plaintive piano, loop-building electronica using an extraordinary variety of instruments, to certain piano pieces played with incredible power and velocity.

I did think once The Pelican got going and our bear friends arrived in the crowd it was going to kick off but unfortunately not. Put this down to it being a Tuesday night and last date of the tour. Nothing like the intensity of those Krankenhaus evenings but enjoyable all the same. Missed the support but picked up a couple of fridge magnets and a mug from merchandise.
