Lucy Dacus tomorrow night at The Hug & Pint. Historian is one of my albums of the year, so really looking forward to this.

Will invariably end up at The Low Anthem in Stereo on Saturday night as well, despite the fact that they're a bit self-indulgent (rubbish) now, but Haley Heynderickx is supporting who is fantastic.

Lucy Dacus is great, especially when she's with a band.  Unfortunately, her live set has a god awful lull in the middle where she plays her weaker (lower tempo, usually) songs solo.  If she's playing a shortened set then it's a terrific show.  ETA: she's far from alone in that.

The new Low Anthem record is, with one possible exception, terrible.  Not sure what the producer was playing at.  I suspect it might work better live.

Yeah, I'm hoping she's got a band with her tomorrow night. Some of her newer material in particular probably wouldn't sound that great solo. From what I can see, it looks like she's been playing full 14 song sets, so looks like there'll be that lull.

Is your one exception Give My Body Back as well? Sticks out like a sore thumb on the record in the best possible way. Fantastic song, but the rest of it is pretty horrendous. I thought it was a production thing on Eyeland as well, but I saw them twice on that tour and they were even worse live. Left early both times.

Trivium tonight in Glasgow. 16th time seeing them live [emoji3] 
I genuinely wished i cared about any band enough to see them multiple times especially one that mediocre

Bit harsh! I’ve never heard of them, but like you I think it’s really cool to dig a band that much.

If I end up seeing The Glory Fires 16 Times, I will be ecstatic.

All of that.

Real shame about the Low Anthem live.  He's got a rather thin voice, but their Tiny Desk Concert is beautiful.  I'd love to see that kind of thing live.

As many have already said Arcade Fire on Monday were outstanding. Every time they seem to improve and that’s a very high bar already! Standing at the “back” of the stage was quiter but more room to dance about like a clown. Thought them coming through the audience and coming down for a couple of songs was great

Saw Trivium tonight. Band and crowd were absolutely superb.

Yep they were amazing as always. Also, special mention to Code Orange for being one of the worst support bands I’ve heard.
