Hammersmith Apollo next May.
Have mixed feelings about these kind of gigs, but looking forward to this one.
Funny how there are more "reformed" bands than current ones on this thread.
Cinnamon_girl - good taste. I'm seeing Joe B on 1st Dec in Bournemouth. Surely Aynsley Lister isn't up and coming though - he's been around for years. You've reminded me to check out some of his recent stuff.
After Joe B:
Half Man Half Biscuit (Jan)
Depeche Mode (Feb)
Dave Gorman (March?)
Snow Patrol this Saturday at Newcastle
Procupine Tree in Early December, hopefully Muse next September
Personally I can't afford to watch Living Colour next week, Motorhead shortly after, or the re-arranged Slayer gig in march 🙁
@flyingmonkeycorps, You HAVE to see Sunn0))) live, the volume genuinely adds something really important to what they do. The records don't really do it for me much, but I saw them in Melbourne 4 or 5 years ago and was totally blown away (although my mate doing sound that night ignored the volume restrictions and pushed everything into the red on the mixing desk). I've seen My Bloody Valentine live and Sunn0))) on that occasion made them sound like the Pastels...
Saw Alabama 3 last night, great show.
Skunk Anansie next Wednesday and Muse next September. Buying 30 Seconds To Mars tickets for Manchester when they come on sale this weekend.
Hmm... I COULD maybe make it over to the Manchester gig. I missed them in Leeds years ago, apparently bits of the ceiling were falling off.
Europe next February (I know, I know!). Couldn't afford the outrageous ticket prices for a decent seat for Bon Jovi 🙁

mikey74 - Member
Also saw Clutch at the Koko a few weeks ago.
A bit good, weren't they? I loved it when they used to have the organ as well, but the stripped back sound really suits their newer albums.
kerv - weren't one of the stoned/pissed aged hippies with the straight chick on a bad trip were you??????? 😯
lodious - Member

Sunn O))) at Islington Mill, Manchester, December 8th. Never seen them before, but fully expect to have to ask Santa for a new set of ears... 😯
You HAVE to see Sunn0))) live
+1. Don't own any of their records, not sure I would enjoy them that much. But live was memorable, to say the least! Almost lost control of my bowels 🙂
Sadly, don't have anything lined up at the moment, saving for a couple of expensive holidays 🙁 Going to Sonar in Barcelona next year though hopefully. Waiting for some more local stuff to come up too...

Half Man Half Biscuit in Sheffield - always a pleasure, never a chore etc.
Secret Green (Francis Lickerish, ex Enid) at the Trades in Hebden, end of the month - believe the new album is very good, and my mate Andy is playing bass for them, so got to give him some support!
Reel Big Fish in Manchester in the New Year. Partners daughter likes them, and TBH they are really good fun live - Ska with a proper party atmosphere. I get more exercise dancing at their gig's than I do on most rides, very good for the calf muscles 🙂
