Went to see Carter USM at King Tuts on Thursday im a huge fan and was just buzzing for it Fantasic set which lasted nearly 2 hours also they were supported by the Frank & Walters who were very decent
Then last night I went to the Voodoo Rooms to see Chris Helme (the Seahorses singer) played a great mix of new and old and had a great interaction with the crowd 2 great gigs in 2 days

Seen Chris Helme a couple of times, he was excellent. Never knew he was playing the Voodoo Rooms last night, that is a right bummer.

I saw them at the Livingston Forum in 1992, on the Love Album tour. I also saw them at the Queens Hall in 94 or 95 and the Venue in 96 or 97.

Do you have a tattoo the same as your avatar? If so I saw you there.

I want to go and see Andre Rieu at the SECC on the 12th of December but it's the very terrible seats left. If anyone hears of anybody selling a couple then give me a shout! Cheers.

Always a good gig at Christmas. A bit of a tradition. Last year was superb!

Hope you enjoy it - I think they're every bit as good (well almost) as when I first saw them 30+ years ago. Faye just seems to improve with age!!

Exploited, threats and gin goblins at Calton studios 1/12

Started off slowly with some strange song choices (Buddy Holly - True love Ways!!!) but really got into the swing after about half an hour.

Strange tho - we got there at 7.50 (tickets said doors open 7.30) and the support had already played and gone. SD's came on at 8pm so quite a few people will have missed a good part of the gig!

Seems that they brought it all forward by an hour but only informed some of those with tickets! Pretty poor!

Just bought VIP tickets for James and Echo & The Bunnymen at the O2 Newcastle for the wife's Christmas. She's a huge James fan and I've heard they are very good live. Sound check and a meet and greet included. Echo & Bunnymen have been on my wish list for years so looking forward to it.

Being a HUGE Depeche Mode fan, next year is their latest World tour. Just annouced the European stadium leg so far before they head to the States and South America and back to Europe for winter arena tour. So fa I'm booked up for the opening gig in Tel Aviv, Athens, London O2, Rome Olympic Stadium, Vilius and Minsk. Can not wait, Depeche tours are amazing!

Also got Simple Minds in Aberdeen in April.

You should know Depeche Mode personally by now so can you please tell them to include Australia / NZ on these "world" tours? They didn't even come here when supposedly touring the "universe"!!

I have had that before as well, went to see Iron Maiden at Earls Court and Trivvium were supporting. My friend was a HUGE Trivvium fan and didnt want to miss them, even so we turned up at 8pm, 30 mins after doors and the PA was playing the Maiden walk on tune! Still find that weird but it meant maiden played for about 3 solid hours which was great.

The only 2 I have got tickets for are

The Black Keys, SECC, Dec 8th
Biffy Clyro, SECC, April 1st.

Want to get tickets for Download next June 16th but only for the Sunday to see the superb Rammstein but no day tickets on sale yet only full weekend.

Looking forward to The Black Keys on Saturday, and today have added Bruce Springsteen at Hampden June 18th, last "Boss" gig at Hampden 4 years ago was a superb night.

Tickets go on general sale tomorrow at 9am if anyone interested, as do The Specials for the Barrowlands in May.

I'll try mate lol. I'd love an excuse to go to Melbourne!

They only came to Scotland for he first time in 24 years on the last tour (afer years of badgering). They seem to play it safe and stick to tried and tested venues in Europe, US and South America. The next tour seems to be less gigs, sticking to the huge stadiums. Easier money I suppose. I very much doubt they will ever venture to Oz. In fact, I would recon this will be their last but one tour.

On another note, I see Simple Minds are currently in Oz. Any idea what size of venues they're playing?

[hibbybob]

Off to see Squeeze at O2 Academy in Glasgow tomorrow.

Haven't seen Squeeze before so don't know what to expect but so many hits to play!

At the end of the gig they will be selling "live cd's from the gig" at a stall at the back of the venue

At Christmas I'm buying tickets for The Fratellis at Barrowlands and Inspiral Carpets at Liquid Rooms.

Anyone else think £40 for The Specials is a rip-off?

Looks like they're doing a mixture of smaller shows and vineyard shows. I wanted to go to their show in Auckland but couldn't make it happen, and would've also preferred to see them in some indoor place anyway. I know those shows in Melbourne and Sydney are reasonable size - I think that Palais in Melbourne is maybe about the size of the Playhouse.

My favourite band are touring in March - great news to wake up to!

Just got tickets for Hurts at the Garage in Glasgow. Anyone been to a gig there?

I saw James Dean Bradfield there a few years ago. It's a good venue.
