Gigs.

Slipknot last night. 25th anniversary tour for their self-titled debut. Brutal metal at its finest.

Had a comedy gig on Friday – Dylan Moran support was Scott Bennett and Ria Lina.

Scott Bennett was fab, but Dylan Moran, different type of set from one I’ve seen on TV, he was just rambling. Brilliantly. Surreal and hilarious. Highly recommended if he’s coming to a school hall near you 🙂

Nothing lined up in December, but going to see an Iron Maiden tribute act (Ed Force One) in the new year.

If anyone likes gloomy, twangy, reverb-y southern-gothic & Nick Cave inspired post-punk then I would recommend going to watch Bambara on their UK tour next year. They’re one of my favourite bands.

I saw them after 2 years of covid delays in 2022, in Sneaky Pete’s (a tiny venue), and they were raucously intense. Really amped up the punk factor, the singer was diving around on stage like crazy and the guitars sounded like a wall of noise.

Hmmm – just listening to them now, they sound pretty decent and playing in Leeds next April.

For anyone in and around Edinburgh my friends Quiet Houses (not Quiet Horses as it says on the CV website) are playing at Cabaret Voltaire on Friday night. If you like catchy indie pop songs they are well worth seeing. It’s a home gig just before Christmas so should be a great atmosphere too.
