[Haymaker]

Been pretty poor recently but my friend just bought me a Propagandhi + Comeback Kid + Shia Hulud ticket for next wednesday!

[Calvin]

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.

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!!!!

how do you find the time to fit hibs in

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!

Gutted I'm missing Chvrches tomorrow. Really like their stuff so far. Great to hear a young Scottish electronic band that are making some waves. They are supporting Depeche in a few shows over the summer so will hopefully get to see them. Make sure you give us a review!

It's a week today; can you make it then? I agree, obviously 'Lies' got a lot of hype but they've followed it up very strongly. The Depeche support gigs are really something for a band that have had only two singles!

[Steve-O]

Hmmm, they sound pretty good. Hadn't heard of them until this thread so cheers.

Along with heavy metal, indie rock, and trance, I am partial to this type of music as well

If that's Chvrches then they've just announced some dates in Oz. Might be heading to NZ as well?

Lies is a great song. I'd say they were able to garner a lot of attention at that time because they knew the right people having been in Aereogramme and Twilight Sad. I believe their first gig was a sell out at Glasgow School of Art.

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.

I never had Dan down as a football fan. Goes to show!

Indeed, Spurs is his original team. Was chatting to him at the Xmas Baubles. Don't even remember how we got on to Hibs but we spent a good drunken hour on the subject!

Enjoying very much right now The Wave Pictures at South Leith Parish Church Halls. Infectious music in a " bring your own bottle" affair as part of Brinksfest. Great music in the heart of Leith.

[Sylar]

Funeral for a Friend are playing at my work on Thursday night and tickets are only £10 - yes please!

[Steve-O]

Review of Black Sabbath the other night: Awesome. Tony Iommi in particularly fine form

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.

Awesome gig. Surrey Union is pretty small so it was a brilliant, intimate atmosphere with a lively crowd. Support by both Polar and Fly This For Me who were also decent.

FFAF are playing again in the centre of Guildford tonight but I have plans or I'd go see them again.

Anyone going to the Stone Roses at Glasgow Green?
