Went to an EP launch in Raves from the Grave in Frome, for Ugly Ozo. Was good fun and looking forward to seeing them at The Joiners in a few weeks then again at Dot 2 Dot in Bristol. Have a spare ticket for that if anyone needs one.
Jazz masterclass from Makaya McCraven last night. Drums, trumpet, bass guitar, keys - all you need. Some of the playing was amazing, super-tight and just so cool.
Supported by Glasgow's Kai Reesu, looking forward to seeing them again. Not a million miles from The Roots, which is a good place to be.
Just Mustard surprised me with their grooviness. Really enjoyed that.
I saw them at Electric Brixton last week, i've not listened to them much before but loved the gig. Not sure how i'd describe it, lots of odd disorienting guitar noise. Seemed to go on for ever but was over too soon. Would love to see them again.
I thought someone would have popped up by now with "I've seen Angine de Poitrine, who wants to touch me?"! No one manage it? Anyone going to Bristol or Brighton? I had a couple of alerts yesterday from Twickets for available tickets for last night, but didn't manage to snag either of them in time.
That certainly won't be me.
I am seeing Tricky on Friday in London though. Not seen him before, so pretty chuffed.
I hope Tricky better than when I saw him at Camden Roundhouse. The whole thing was just so quiet, could hardly hear him.
I am off to see Submotion Orchestra next Wednesday in Milton Keynes. They are a band who never disappoint.
Gawd, he better be good - it's costing me a ton to get to London and stay over!
