Re: Gigs

Then The Pineapple Thief in March. This is going to be a superb year for concerts.

Re: Gigs

Mogwai tonight. It is an all seater concert hall and I hope we get to stay seated. I hate standing to watch bands.

They were good. Enjoyed it a lot, but not as good as when I saw them at The Forum, Kentish Town about 5/6 years ago.


Support act was a bit weird. This old fella called Dan Higgs who was sat on a chair at the front of the stage with a banjo and a string of bells on his foot. Tongue Tied

Re: Gigs

Just booked to see Bellowhead at The Anvil in Basingstoke, April 30th - been really getting into them recently.


Mrs. Naxos has also decided to drag me to see Rod Stewart at Newbury Racecourse on May 29th (no electrician jokes, please) Sad. Well, it's not far to go, and I can always watch the drummer, I suppose...

Re: Gigs

Last nights gig was odd in that there were more people there for the first support band, a standard heavy metal outfit who did Black Sabbath covers than for the main acts Tongue Tied

Now got a ticket to see Battles at The Arches on the 7th June.

Dum Dum Girls at the same venue on April 6th. Unless I have to work late or something tragic like that.

Re: Gigs

Just booked to see Blackfield supported by The Pineapple Thief in April. Should be a great gig!

Last gig was a BRILLIANT night of John Lees' Barclay James Harvest at Buxton Opera House in February. They were absolutely superb again.

Re: Gigs

Looking forward to seeing The Pineapple Thief in a couple of weeks time at The Classic Grand in Glasgow, which was for many years the porn cinema in Glasgow! It is great that so many cinema's have found new life as gig venues.

RE: Re: Gigs

Also now booked to see Van Der Graaf Generator at the end of this month.  That should be a really interesting gig!

Dillinger Escape Plan is next up for me on Oct 29th at The Garage in Glasgow. Never been to the Garage before, never seen Dillinger live before, I expect to be at the least deaf and seriously if not fatally injured at this gig judging by their live reputation, it'll be fun though!!!!

Ooooo!..... Me neither!

Sadly, I feel T.D.E.P have been on a steady downhill slide since 'Calculating Infinity'.

Next for me is 'The Faceless', 'Veil Of Maya', 'Born Of Osiris' & 'Gorod' at The Camden Underworld. 16/5

Big smile
