Gigs

Was on the fence about going to The Hu next week, seen them a couple times before and a bit skint this month, but my girlfriend won meet & greet tickets via the Bandsintown website so now I'm going 😂 never done a meet & greet or VIP tickets for anyone before, so no idea what to expect. I doubt they'll be much chat as well, although after a couple of pints in the sun before the gig my Mongolian might be as good as theirs.

I'll be there. The gig, not the meet & greet. Not sure how much English they speak, so could be interesting for you. Curious to know how big they are, they all looked massive on stage at SWG3. Speaking of that gig, I wasn't impressed by the sound at all. Backline was fine but the traditional instruments were lost, as were some of the vocals. Either it wasn't their own engineer, or if it was, he struggled with the venue. Would be interested if you could find this out - probably more chance of tech crew speaking English than the band members. Either way, I'm hoping the sound will be much better at the Academy and am looking forward to it.

Isaac Gracie at the Mash House tonight, won't get there until during the support act unfortunately, not my thing but Mrs Empty fancied it and I'm a sucker for a local gig and a pint.

Originally, as a spotty herbert youth, I stuck them on my bedroom wall beside the posters of Rush and Led Zep’ etc.

First ten or so of mine I had posters on my bedroom wall and the ticket was in the corner, so now they're all visibly faded due to being exposed to room temperature/humidity, and have a pin hole in the corner lol. I have pictures of all of them in an album on facebook, might stick a few up later.

 

They mid-crowd barriers can be a few reasons. For some its a "golden circle" where you pay VIP prices to get closer. For Download (when I went in 2008!!) and at Green Day in Bellahouston it was to break up the crowd, and those on the inside are first come first served. I'm sure someone mentioned they didn't have any, but as someone who cued from 9am and got to the barrier in front of the runway and was given a pick from security - there WAS a mid-crowd barrier like that because I sprinted round it lol.

 

Anyway, not been on due to internet and travelling issues. Hot Milk are headlining SWG3 (18th November), Nekrogoblikon are playing The Cathouse and Lesbian Bed Death are playing Ivory Blacks (15th & 13th September respectively) and BMTH are headlining the Hydro on the 14th of January.

 

 

But all that is to come. Last night (Friday) I was at The O2 Arena (Millennium dome) [not impressed, hate it] in London [good for a flying visit, would hate it if I was there for more than 3 days], for TENACIOUS FUCKIN D!!! [very impressed, love them, amazing, brilliant, insert favourite superlative here]. A new venue and a white whale tagged off my bucket list. Pics getting sorted but if I may be so bold as to present my own video ((like and subscribe guys! hit that bell so you get notifications! /sarcasm )) here is not the greatest song in the world...

Depeche Mode at Twickenham. Superb as always and great set. Young Fathers were the support and were very good. Having never been before, I was impressed with Twickenham. However, the logistics around entry and trying to get back to London after the gig were not good at all.

I’m off to see them in Berlin in a fortnight, cannot wait.
