Anyone at super furry animals the other night? Interested to hear any reports of how it went :greengrin
I am going to see Lightyear in Brighton soon. My favourite band playing (another) reunion show.
New album is currently being written, think they have gone abroad somewhere to do so.Quote:

From Sempiternal, you could see a massive influence from Deftones(especially on Empire) and Linkin Park which I'd imagine they will be continuing, along with bringing new ideas in.
How were Volumes? The Mixture has such a groovy riff the whole way through. Song is bouncy as f***.Quote:

Was at the Glasgow gig mate. Thought the first half was average, mainly due to dodgy sound. Rings Around the World was almost unrecognisable. However second half was great.Quote:

Saw the Manics at the Forum in Livingston (showing my age) and it's fair to say one of the loudest gigs ever! Immense thoQuote:

Was at Slane Castle to see the Foo Fighters on Saturday, great gig.
How late would you guys give it for tickets to turn up? I've a gig this week and still no tickets. Starting to worry now :(
If it's Ticketmaster that you are waiting on then I'd be worried, they have always been spot on in getting the tickets delivered in plenty time.Quote:

Idlewild, The Sunshine Underground, Twin Atlantic and Pulled Apart By Horses in Aberdeen on Saturday. Pretty decent lineup!
Not to mention the lineup on the bar :greengrinQuote:

Really impressed with the support band (actually enjoyed them more that the Buzzcocks). Dirt Box Disco were sort of sing along punk and excellent. I see they're playing Bannermans later this year.
Just bought tickets for Tom Robinson at Queens Hall. Really giving my age away in this post!
Unfortunately I'm working all day. Are you heading up?Quote:

They're playing there again tonight, then PJ Molloys in Dunfermline tomorrow.
Foo fighters have cancelled uk tour after Dave Grohl falls off stage in sweden breaking his leg and dislocating his ankle.
Fair play to him he did finish that gig!
Jah Wobble this weekend, and then off to Glastonbury next week :)
For the first time in years I kind of wish I was going to Glastonbury. Mainly because the Chemical Brothers are playing and I've been wanting to see them again for years.Quote:

Went along to all 3(originally only first night but really enjoyed them so why not!), they were cracking new record sounds like it'll be brilliant!Quote:

I love Blur, missed the Barras gig but have seen them there before, and they were outstanding. Cracking live band, to be fair.Quote:

Rifles ticket purchased. Bit of a wait yet though!
Gig of the year so far.
Backstage at Glasto for Patti Smith... complete with jam session with the Dalai freaking Lama.
Tell me it's not the drugs. .....
Been a quietish spell gig wise for me. Went to see Mogwai at the Barrowlands two weeks ago and they were absolutely magnificent as always. Some of the loudest but heart-achingly beautiful music you`ll hear. Saw The Crocodiles at Sneaky Pete`s a few days earlier and the energetic Californian garage rock deserves a bigger stage than that of Sneaky Petes. A cover of Plastic Bertrand`s "Ca Plane Pour Moi" with support band onstage as well for a joyous encore capped a fine night indeed.
I quite fancy Sauna Youth, who play The Old hairdressers in Glasgow on Saturday, but will need to be a late decision as to whether I can attend. Have got fed up waiting for The Fall to head north of the border again so have booked to see them in Clitheroe in October. Going to get tickets for Brix and the Extricated at Glasgow in November as well.
I was at 2000 Trees festival over the weekend. The Twilight Sad, We Were Promised Jetpacks, Idlewild, The Xcerts, Fatherson and So I Watched You From Afar. And I didn't even have to drink crap lager all weekend. Excellent stuff.
