AnderooMFC Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Bought a ticket for LOLO at Classic Grand in October... now got 4 gigs in 6 days again, whoops! I also believe this to be one of the gigs I will be at least 15yrs older than everyone else in the front row and the only male not dragged along by their partner. idc though her music is too damn catchy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the aggressive beggar Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 (edited) Just back from Love Revisited at Gosforth Civic Theatre. Phenomenal, couldn't make Glasgow last year, but we're down in Newcastle 5mins from the venue so went round. Tickets getting booked for St Luke's on Friday. Really special seeing songs you've loved for decades being performed live. Johnny Echols on great form for being 77. Can't even pick a highlight it was that good Edited July 24 by the aggressive beggar 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 (edited) Not long back from the Bandstand at the Kelvingrove park in Glasgow watching The Midnight. Superb show. They are a synth/retro wave band from LA. Edited July 24 by Wardy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I just saw Jake Bugg at Fat Sam's. Bugg was decent. Okay... he's derivative indie landfill, but he's good at what he does. Well above average for the genre. Fattie's is such a shite venue though. Really badly laid out. It's difficult to find a spot where you can see and hear the act without having all manner of c***s continually pushing past you. I'm gonna swerve the venue in future, unless it's somebody that I'm desperate to see. Such a shame that it's the only mid-sized venue in Dundee putting on reasonably well known acts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it the Fat Sam's Live (if that's still a thing) space or the smaller stage on the second floor of the club? Both are shit tbf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duszek Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Took my son to see Travis Scott in Milan. Utter bedlam. 80,000 person mosh pit. https://www.today.com/video/travis-scott-s-show-makes-a-whole-town-shake-literally-215653445566 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayBees Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 In the central belt for a few days and went to the Glas-Goes Pop Fest on Saturday at Glasgow Uni. San Francisco’s Tony Molina was a jingle-jangle highlight as was Teenage Fanclub’s Gerard Love. What a songwriter. Also went to the ‘after party’ show at Mono on Sunday and saw The Cords and the terrific Lightheaded, also from San Francisco. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I was at the Pip Blom gig at Beat Generator in Dundee tonight. First up was support act Vanity Fairy, who was like the b*****d lovechild of Sylvester and Donna Summer. That was a very entertaining pastiche of late 70s disco. Pip Blom was excellent. A great performance. Pip should be much more successful than she is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Alkaline Trio at the O2 Academy in Glasgow tonight. Absolutely brilliant. Hit after hit, what a brilliant catalogue of songs they have. Support from Lowlives, who were pretty decent themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Waxahatchee gig last night. Band were tight and she was really crisp and clear. Ran through well over 20 songs on the set list. Unfortunately it left me feeling more than a bit bored. I really like her music, but I could have sat at home with my headphones on last night and had largely the same experience. I don't want a gig to sound exactly like the songs do on record. I want a bit of presence and personality on stage. Last night's gig just didnt have any of that and the performance itself felt a bit boring. The set list was made up of pretty much the entire latest album and a lot of the previous one. Almost nothing from her first 4 albums. The result was a set that sounded samey. I know I'm in the minority - the sell out crowd last night mostly seemed to love the gig. I just found the whole thing to be underwhelming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamJags Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Future Islands were excellent last night at the Kelvingrove Bandstand. Next up for me is the Friday night of Belle & Sebastian's weekender at SWG3. Them, Camera Obscura, The Joy Hotel and Mary In The Junkyard is some lineup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the new album was a little 'thin' sounding production wise (and her voice can sometimes get on my nerves slightly) but the band sounded great. Spencer Tweedy on drums was dad-rock heaven and Katie C sounded tremendous. Really liked the new song too! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnderooMFC Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 6th time seeing Keane at the O2 Academy Edinburgh Corn Exchange last night. Sounding as good as ever, though the venue was absolutely roasting. Next is Combichrist on the 9th and Blink 182 on the 30th. Might also get tickets to Stand Atlantic in September. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
