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 best mate went to the University of Surrey, had a few good nights in the union! Always had gigs on, great place. Another friend used to do DIY punk/hardcore shows nearby too, dont remember those much!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:

Steven worked for me at the old Warehouse. Really good guy! Which bar do you work at?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:

If anyone is in the Dundee area on Saturday night then The Underground Jam are well worth a look. They are at Beatgenerator Live.
Where the hell is that? I lived in Dundee for 8 years and I've never heard of that place.Quote:

Going to see Savages tomorrow night and The XX on Saturday. Should both be interesting to see live.
Just around the corner from Fat Sam's and next to Clarke's BarQuote:

After a triumphant start to the tour in front of 50,000 in Tel Aviv and 40,000 in Athens last week, it'll be good to see them in an indoor venue again, even if it is still huge.
How were the DM gigs? Any particular highlights? Good luck getting your flights to London, I'm going to see them in Munich on the Saturday after the final and if we win I don't fancy my changes of making my flight :-)Quote:

Enjoy Munich, you can't beat Depeche in Germany!
By the way, if you're going to the Glasgow gig in November, get along to Classic Grand after the show.

It's a great album, annoyed I missed them this time. Going to see Bleached at the Art School on Tuesday!Quote:

Don't think that I have another gig planned now until Glastonbury now :(
I'm praying that Morrissey will do another British tour next year. I was gutted that I was working last July when he was in Edinburgh.
This year I'm treating myself to Download! Anyone know if there are buses going from Edinburgh or Glasgow?
Pierce the Veil, Sleeping With Sirens, Memphis May Fire, Tek-One, Yashin and the word alive. Pretty sweet line up.Quote:
