Loved that so many bands I love played such an intimate festival, which really is targeted at quite a niche market in all honesty.
Also have Finch, with support from Mallory Knox at Brixton Academy next month which I'm really looking forward to :agree:
The Bouncing Souls scott. Love 'em.
How I Spent My Summer Vacation and Anchors Aweigh were 2 staples of my high school days - used to listen to them a lot around the same time I was into bands like Millencolin, NOFX and Allister (to name a few).Quote:

The Courteeners this Saturday, can't wait!
The wife has bought me tickets for Deacon Blue at the Albert Hall for my 40th birthday. They just happen to be her favourite band. Cheeky!
Got quite a few coming up in the next 6 months -Quote:

Just saw the Bouncing Souls. It was epic
Went to see Victorian Trout Conspiracy at the Annex last Thursday, great band and pumping gig, but they did a number half way through the set, I'm sure they said Matt Done was in the audience and started a song about him. Was anyone else there to confirm or deny this? I had had a few pints by the time it happened but my mate was there and heard the same thing:confused:
Also, anyone else going to download this year?
Sooo jealous of the wake your mind stage. Such epic acts.Quote:

Just back fi the Maiden Scotland gig at the dreadnought in bathgate, ****ing amazing gig, special tribute paid to Clive Burr, absolutely amazing gig!! Bring on the proper gig at Download in the summer, cannae wait!!!
If I win the euro millions tonight, I'd love to go to Download - Rammstein are headlining Sunday!
Was at the O2 Brixton Academy on Friday for the 10 Year Reunion of What It Is To Burn tour with Finch, supported by Mallory Knox and Cytota.
Mallory Knox recently released their debut album (Signals) which was pretty damned good and they're every bit as impressive live. Really enjoyed their short set.
Finch took the gig to a whole new level, playing WIITB in its entirety and adding in some of their older EP songs, as well as Worms of the Earth (Underworld soundtrack). Flawless live, superb energy and it brought out every emotion in a superb crowd.
One of the best live acts you will ever see, saw them in Newcastle & Birmingham last year and will see them twice in April this year.Quote:

Yeah I see £82 listed for Sunday. If I get a job sometime soon I'll be getting a ticket - Stone Sour are there as well!Quote:

Hurts tomorrow (tonight) in Glasgow have a lot to live up to.
Saw Biffy Clyro at the SECC last night, first time I've seen them live and they were superb.
Seen a few bands at the (rubbish) SECC and they were the best.
Best band ever to come out of Scotland.

Apart from the Bay City Rollers of course.Quote:

I'd say Puzzle is possibly the best album by a Scottish band but their new one is just awful.Quote:

Mark my words, that will be the last time I see this band in such a small venue. They are going to be huge. They're already playing to full arenas around Europe and hopefully the UK will get aboard the bandwagon now.
As a massive Depeche Mode fan, Hurts would be the perfect tour support for the up-coming stadium World tour.
I really like Hurts, haven't listened to the second album yet, but the first was very good.Quote:

Because they deserve it. I agree, it's great to see bands in wee venues. To be up close and get the banter between fans and band is great but you don't get the production levels in the Garage that you do in an arena. They will easily be able to fill an arena stage, in fact they already do in Germany, the Baltics, Poland etc.Quote:

Staying in Belfast tonight and The Outcasts are playing in Auntie Annies just round from hotel. Terri Hooley billed as dj'ing although I don't see any decks.. Enjoyed Good Vibrations earlier this week so a wee bonus to finish the Easter break away. Place is swarming with grizzled old Belfast punks who time has not been kind to it must be said!
The Stones at Hyde Park, Sat 6th July. :flag:
Just thought I'd go for it. Went and bought a Sunday ticket for Download in order to see Rammstein!
Black Sabbath in Auckland in 10 days time. Should be a good 'un.
They are supported by Shihad who are a big name here in NZ (recommend a YouTube of them, some good tunes :agree:)
1D, Newcastle last night
:-(
Rammstein's version of "stripped" is amazing.Quote:

My condolences. It's over now. :)Quote:

Do they play the same set list at each concert, or do they vary them?Quote:

They have 10 or so songs that feature in every tour, add 4 or 5 from the album they're promoting and throw in a few suprises.Quote:

Cheers, how many times do you think you have seen them now??? My mate is like you but it is U2 he goes all over the World to see....Quote:

and for the campers(not me)
http://www.rockwerchter.be/en/line-up/thursday
(camping)did it against wishes and apart from usual cleanliness issues a superb experience as small bars in camp site are rocking through the night
also leuven(hibs played there last summer, lovely little place to spend a few days drinking and the home of stellla artois)
Been pretty poor recently but my friend just bought me a Propagandhi + Comeback Kid + Shia Hulud ticket for next wednesday!
I've got Chvrches next Wednesday at The Garage, and The Twilight Sad at the Lemon Tree.
However you Edinburgh hombres should definitely go and see Meursault and Withered Hand at the Liquid Room next Friday. Gutted I can't go.
the View @ '20 Rocks' used to be 'the Dog House' in Dundee sat 11th May day before the PBS game
gonna be wild , home town crowd in a very small venue.
really looking forward to this
James last night at the O2 Academy in Newcastle where superb and took me back to my Floral Riot and Catch days (for punters of my vintage). 2 hour set with a few brand new tracks. So new that Tim Booth had to read the lyrics and the band made a few **** ups. I have to say, it was good to watch a band taking a few risks rather than just playing all the fans' favourites. Going to the sound check was pretty cool as well. They played a few songs and had a 30 minute chat, including inviting an 8 year old boy, who just started learning the drums, up on the stage for a shot of the drums. It was also great to see Echo The Bunnymen at last, who were the support. Very cool, alternative 80's stuff!
So, in recent months I've ssen The Killers, Stone Roses, Simple Minds, Hurts, James, Echo & The Bunnymen, Big Country, Deacon Blue, Emile Sandé, Noel Gallacher's HFB and a few more. All have been very good and some outstanding (Killiers and Hurts in particular). Next up, in just over 3 weeks, it's the headline act. DEPECHE MODE in Tel Aviv & Athens. NOT LONG NOW!!!!
Missing the Derby in a few weeks due to being in Israel. Funnily enough, the only other Derby I have ever missed at Tynie, I was also in Tel Aviv for a Depeche gig. We won, the Casper game, so a good omen!Quote:

Along with heavy metal, indie rock, and trance, I am partial to this type of music as well :agree::greengrin
Takedown Festival at Southampton University - May 11th :thumbsup:
80s rewind festival at Perth in July.
Ooh, time to swap some shifts around and hopefully get along. Cheers!Quote:

Yes, their first gig. That is unless you were at a Vic Galloway night at the Electric Circus a few months before where they secretly played under the pseudonym 'Shark Week'. Lies remains their best track in my eyes, however Song by Toad's rant about the lunacy of their hype still stands true.Quote:

Funeral for a Friend are playing at my work on Thursday night and tickets are only £10 - yes please! :aok:
Review of Black Sabbath the other night: Awesome. Tony Iommi in particularly fine form :agree:
Annoyed I missed that. I didn't see this advertised at all.Quote:

Rammstein gigs in Lisbon & Madrid were just mental especially the Madrid one, 15,000 mental Spaniards going crazy to a German band, who sing in German.
Just superb, good link here of the full show in Barca last week for anyone wondering what a Rammstein show is all about.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eo1EKMNHMes
Went to see modestep at the O2 in Glasgow in February. Mental.
Other than that not a lot until the summer. Anyone going to BBK in Bilbao? Awesome line up: green day, kings of leon, biffy Clyro and vampire weekend. Depeche mode and the hives too! £75 for 3 days camping tickets!
not a gig as such but of to eastern electrics in august in london. mental line up http://www.easternelectrics.com/
will be djing at one of the afterpartys too :greengrin
How were Chvrches?Quote:

haha, the trumpet/keys player used to be in my band, not many folk like him about. And also my cousin Matt Dunn jams with them, that's who would have got a shout out.Quote:

My mate runs Snafu and Athenium who are puting on Big Beach Balll. (He's a Hibby too) Tickets are apparently selling well. If you go, make sure to see Little Kicks. They're superb!Quote:

PSB at the Caves will be amazing. I'm seeing them at the Lemon Tree - they were amazing last time up here. F'd up are great too but won't make that; however my holidays are already in for Art Brut. Eddie Argos is a legend and j can't recall them playing Edinburgh since I saw them at The Hive of all places in what must have been 2008!Quote:

Hive was the last time they played Edinburgh. It's a shame that the same night Kid Canavarel are playing with ballboy. Saw PSB last time, they were brilliant and I'm really looking forward to F***ed Up, David Comes To Life is a fantastic album.
Just noticed that, gutted - Ballboy are one of my favourites.Quote:

A busy week. Saw Dirty Beaches at Nice n Sleazy on Tuesday, his first visit to Scotland and it was blistering. Really recommend checking him out if you have not done so yet. Clashed with The Fall at ABC and Public Service Broadcasting at Caves, but I think we made the right call.
Specials tonight at The Barrowlands. No Neville Staples this time, and no Jerry Dammers, but it should still be a good one.
I was at the PBS gig at the Caves and it was a bit disappointing. It wasn't the best venue for them and the sound was poor. They were a lot better when I first saw them at the Voodoo Rooms.Quote:

Where the hell is that? I lived in Dundee for 8 years and I've never heard of that place.Quote:
