This is wonderful news. Yes, he quit at the end of his last tour but obviously he has found his mojo again.

Discovered him at The Great Escape originally- one of those precious finds.

GNOD play The Hope tonight.

I was going, but I've found something else to do. Shame, I'm keen to experience another aural assault (having seen Part Chimp the other night).
Certainly seems to be a lot of decent stuff to see. My current list includes:
Ken Vardemark (sp?) and Paar Neilsen-Love (sp?)
Nick Cave, Patti Smith, St Vincent, Courtney Barnett, The Psychedelic Furs (and a few others) up London way
Ty Segall
The Ex
Thee Oh Sees
Sons of Kemet
End of the Road Festival
Olafur Arnaulds

Gruff Rhys plays the old market in November, which is nice.

Saw Anna Burch a couple of nights ago in London. Very pleasant stuff. The album is nice and summery, good tunes - recommended for fans of 60s girl group stuff and clean-sounding indie guitar music.

Going to All Points East and Primavera this year so was planning to sack off Great Escape for the first time in 6 years, but the lineup looks pretty solid.

Think I'm going to get a ticket but just go to the evening shows and reign in the alcohol.

Teleman as well as playing Great Escape have a date at The Concorde in October.

Saw Yo La Tengo last week in Leeds, they still have it! Ira is 61 now he looks about 39 though. Always a pleasure.

Just saw this on the The Mighty Fall Facebook page. Looks interesting- will try to go.

Yes, it does look a bit better this year than it has been for a while.

I'm putting on a couple of killer alt-escape shows.

Friday - https://www.facebook.com/events/438926903216057/
Saturday - https://www.facebook.com/events/197414127679007/

Made up 'cos I got my favourite band off the main bill to play the Saturday one.

Who did you manage to filch? Shows look varied- will try and pop along in between some of the main stuff.

It's Canadian's Freak Heat Waves. A band I've like for a while, this that they've just released has gone off at a wierdo-pop tangent.

Black Midi will be well worth catching as well imo. I tried to get hold of them as well.

As always- thanks for the recommendations. Enjoying the Black Midi vocals especially. Good luck with the shows.

After Sussex County is moved to the California coast maybe Steve Parry will come to the Amex and sing his own songs.

Saw Arctic Monkeys last night (after a false start by turning up for the gig a day early). Gig was a small-ish festival warm up (so I heard) and the set was an 80 minutes or so career spanning greatest hits affair and boy was it good fun. They are unrecognizable from the first album, visually and musically, and at the start had 9 people on stage recreating 4 out of 5 from the new album. Some great musicianship and Alex Turner has now fully morphed into the consummate front man channeling Elvis and Nick Cave.

As an aside this is a band I have grown to like. I never liked their first album but as they have grown and hovered up more musical reference points they have developed into a fine band not afraid to take the odd risk.

Oh, and I saw Caverns of Antimatter last Sunday. Excellent stuff and I challenge anyone to not want to dance when listening to them.

Next up LCD on Wed.
