Just back from Steve mason at the trades in hebden….. good but not as good as last December, more reliance on backing tracks, less acoustic groove. Some banging beta band numbers though. Lots of huge beery blokes tonight, god I must be getting old!

Edit. It was three years ago, not last December!binnersFull MemberJust back from the Orielles at the Trades in Hebden. First gig there since before lockdown. It is such a great venue. Absolutely top notch homecoming gig. They had the place bouncing
Posted 1 month agoNorthwindFull MemberMogwai last night. Also Mogwai tomorrow. Great show last night, not the best setlist ever tbh but any show with Helicon in it is a good show.
Posted 1 month agodocrobsterFull MemberAh I’m jealous @binners that would have been right up my street.

Had to give Richard Hawley at the leadmill a miss on Tuesday due to broken ribs and flu like illness. Not up to gigging at the moment. Not sure what the next one is. Possibly nothing till March. Can’t have that!sillyoldmanFull Member@northwind – My Father My King to end was amazing as always!
Posted 1 month agobinnersFull Member@docrobster – they’d done two nights running there due to the demand. It was heaving. A great atmosphere, as you’d expect from a local pre-Christmas gig. They were absolutely brilliant!
Hope you’re feeling better and getting to gigs again soon fella
Posted 1 month agosadexpunkFull Memberfirst night of the Viagra Boys tour last night at nottingham, loved it. seb really engaged with the crowd, and the bass players just a machine, driving the sound all night long. reminded me in parts of primal scream swastika eyes era.
jason williamson came on during big boy for a cameo, just a great show to watch.also a nod to Fat Dog who were an enjoyable lively support band, reminded me a bit of gorgol bordello’s ‘gypsy punk’ style.
Posted 1 week agoTheArtistFormerlyKnownAsSTRFull MemberThis is my favourite photo of stupity – Anna Calvi right there! in front of you! So you erm watch her on your phone screen. 😆
I thought it was Carol Decker 😆
I remeber booking a gig a couple of months ago, but can’t remember who/where 😆
Posted 1 week agokennypFree MemberSaw Half Man Half Biscuit at the Electric Ballroom in Camden last night. Fantastic gig with a great set list.
Posted 1 week agoRobHiltonFree MemberWould you believe I’m going to see Epsom Mad Funkers at The Garage in London tonight?
Posted 1 week agoNorthwindFull MemberPosted 1 week agotheotherjonvFull MemberI don’t think HMHB could do a bad set list if they tried.
Posted 1 week agow00dsterFull MemberAnyone want two free tickets for the 1975 tomorrow night? Was supposed to be going but have gone on a last

Minute holiday instead.
Last Minute edit….it’s in Liverpool.2tyredFull MemberThe Delgados at the Barras in Glasgow last night, completely magic.
“Bathe in our glorious back catalogue!”
Burns night gig so playing the intro of their take on Such a Parcel o Rogues then launching straight into Under Canvas, Under Wraps from their first album was pretty ace.
Posted 1 week agosweepyFree MemberI’m not a big one for gigs these days but I want to see GOAT in glasgow, it seems to be sold out lots of places but eventim has tickets, are they reliable?
Posted 1 week agotheotherjonvFull MemberThey’re a proper reseller (as well as a first sell agency) – but on resale the price follows demand / scarcity so you should be safe albeit poor.

Posted 1 week agosweepyFree MemberTurns out GOAT aren’t oversubscribed so it was face value, just £2.50 delivery on tickets I download and print myself 🙂

Thanksgazza100Full MemberThought I’d missed out on GOAT but just ordered from Eventim. Used them before and although I had a problem it was resolved.
Posted 1 week agodocrobsterFull MemberFirst gig of 23 is now booked.

SUEP at the delicious clam next Saturday. My gig buddy who is a huge porridge radio fan heard them on Marc Riley last night and suggested it. Had a listen. Sound great. Boom! We’re in!joelowdenFull MemberGlasgow for Colin Hay on Wednesday then Edinburgh for The Musical Box and The Lamb lies down on Broadway on Friday… Happy days.
Posted 1 week agodocrobsterFull MemberLike London buses, now going to see skinny pelembe this Thursday and Ezra collective on the 23rd…
Posted 3 days agodonksFree MemberOff down the pub in 15mins to watch pip blom.
Posted 3 days agotheotherjonvFull MemberLet me know what they’re like – seeing them on Saturday
Posted 3 days agodonksFree Memberthey are decent…saw them at the same venue a couple of years back
Posted 3 days agogallowayboyFull MemberSaw pip bloom on Thursday….. excellent!
Posted 3 days agodocrobsterFull MemberPip Blom? Last Thursday at hebden trades? I wanted to go to that as it was my actually birthday but no one wanted to do it on a school night. Saw them last November at yellow arch the night before we saw tbc at hebden. My pal wore his pip blom t shirt to the bug club. We thought they (pip blom) were great but yellow arch isn’t such a great venue. It was quite cool that the bands dad was doing the merch stall though.
Posted 3 days agogallowayboyFull MemberPip’s Dad was still doing the merch stall on Thursday. He’s in a band called Eton crop.
Posted 3 days agoNorthwindFull MemberNipped up to Dundee to see that Frank Turner again… Bloody incredible show, I’ve seen dozens of full band sleeping souls shows over the years and I reckon that was probably the best yet, probably helps that they’ve never done a full band show there before and it was a proper sweaty sized venue ideally shaped for getting the rowdy people down the front and letting the stand stillers stay up the back. Just an absolute joy.
Mull Historical Society in a few days which should be great too then Titus Andronicus next week
Posted 3 days agojoelowdenFull MemberColin Hay in the Old Fruitmarket Glasgow last night. Absolutely fantastic night’s entertainment, very funny stories and still has the voice and great new songs. Two or three Men at Work songs as well.
Posted 1 day agojohndohFree MemberGutted that Ozzy Osbourne has finally completely cancelled his re-re-re-re-arranged tour but I have to say it was expected. So I decided to look into tickets for Kiss (they are touring at almost the same time) – they want £80 for crap seats, up to £140 for half decent ones. Sod that! Unsubstantiated rumours now that Judas Priest (who were supporting Ozzy) might support Maiden instead (which I have tickets to see).
Next up though for me is Pigsx7 then Elvana which should be fun (Elvis-fronted Nirvana).
Posted 22 hours agochrispofferFull MemberI’m sure Elvana will be wild, it went off when we saw them at Lindisfarne fest last year.
A bit quieter (literally!) for me over the coming weeks.
Pretenders at the Cluny on Monday. I don’t think I’d be really excited if this was at any other venue but I do love the Cluny.
Suzanne Vega at the Sage on the 18th.
Roachford(!) at the Fire Station in Sunderland on the 4th March. Saw him/them way back in the day and had a great night. Looking forward to this.
Then nothing until Ryan Adams in York on Easter Friday. Have seen him multiple times over the years and really do like his mumbling in the darkness style.
Posted 21 hours agomakkagFree MemberIm off to see Tinlicker at the Roundhouse tonight looking forward it, First Gig of the year !

Excellent – looking forward to it! \m/

Didn’t he announce his retirement from touring a short while ago? You have probably just cost me £50+ quid and a trip to Bristol next Tuesday! 😀
Posted 21 hours agojoelowdenFull MemberNever heard the retirement bit but he was great last night…worth every penny 👍.
Posted 21 hours agocolpFull MemberOff to the Warehouse Project in Manchester tomorrow to see Hot Chip. Have to brush up on my dad dancing rave moves.
Posted 21 hours agotheotherjonvFull MemberBum. Young Fathers.
Vaguely on my radar but then heard them playing an Indie Venue week special in Norwich, recorded last night for Steve Pacamac’s 6-Music show and thought wow!
Got home just now and looked up if they’re playing anywhere near me…. and they’re at Kingston Pryzm tonight – about 3 miles from my workplace. And just too late to turn around and get back to them.
Posted 16 hours agorichardkennerleyFull MemberHazy Jane’s at bootleg in Blackpool as part of indie venue week. Lazy comparison to royal blood/slaves…. Really enjoyed it, first gig for a while, couple of real pints, couple of Shandy’s, home at a decent time. Bongo.
Posted 14 hours agoCountZeroFull MemberI don’t think HMHB could do a bad set list if they tried.
I think it’s one of those immutable laws of nature that states that a HMHB gig will always have a superb setlist. Let’s face it, with their back-catalogue any setlist will have crowd favourites in it. Having said that, I’d be disappointed if ‘Joy Division Oven Gloves’ wasn’t there. They’re playing Bristol in September…
My first gig of the year was last night at The Roundhouse. E-ticket system after buying from Ticketmaster was a mess, ended up with the very nice lad at the ticket office going against protocol and printing my tickets out, so for the first time in ages I had real, honest-to-goodness tickets! Bit of a Brucie-bonus with the support, who turned out to be Lo Moon, who I first heard on 6Music a while back. They reminded me very much of Talk Talk, so I’ve been wanting to see them for some time. They were excellent, more ‘energetic’ than I was expecting!
The headline was Metric, who I’ve seen a bunch of times, but not in a venue the size of The Roundhouse, which really suited them, having a big stage to move around on – Emily their singer moves around a lot on stage! Bloody brilliant performance the whole band were having a great time, and at the end Emily thanked everyone for turning up, and for their support, and got rather teary.
Posted 13 hours agodesperatebicycleFree MemberYoung Fathers.
Supposed to be seeing them at Chalk in Brighton on Monday, first gig of this year… just hoping to be rid of bloody Covid which I’ve had since Monday!
Posted 2 hours ago
Seen them plenty of times before, but been a while so would love to hear the new stuff live.
If I can’t make it first will be Jockstrap in Oxford.
