Uncle Scan Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Saw SLF in the Ulster Hall on Saturday night and they were on fire. It almost made up for Linfield's defeat to Cliftonvile that afternoon. Almost. Aye and the Defects were decent also Good to see they played at Paris last night 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_K_97 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I'm going to see New Order on Thursday. I am super jelly. I wish I was going but I'm working anyway, so I'll need to give it a miss. Kurt Vile was good on Monday, met my neighbour quite near the front. Good sound but maybe played a few too many of the hits at the start. Did enjoy the use of Rich Girl by Hall & Oates as his walk-off music too. Got Maximo Park on Friday and Mickey 9s on Saturday, going to be a good one this weekend! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Didn't enjoy New Order as much as I thought I would. Not without it's great moments though. "Your Silent Face" and "Temptation" were both fucking phenomenal, and "Plastic", "Restless", "Atmosphere" and "Bizarre Love Triangle" were the other good 'uns, but the rest I could take or leave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the snudge Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Just booked tickets for Minus The Bear at the Oran Mor at the end of January. Been a fan for years but never seen them live. Firmly looking forward to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much the whole second half of the main set seemed to have the same drum beat going on in the background. Waiting For the Sirens' Call as a dance track is horrible. The Atmosphere/Love Will Tear Us Apart start to the encore is one of the greatest things I've ever seen. I'd checked out by that point, Blue Monday was a pish finish. I wish the sound in the Academy didn't take several songs to get to the right level. For the first 4/5 songs in there it feels like everything's competing against each other. It ruined Ceremony, which is a big shame. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sliced Bread Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Off to see Stiff Little Fingers tonight. Can't beat a bit of punk. Grimbo Saw them a few years ago in Aberdeen, still brilliant. Going to U2 in Dublin on Monday night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Machina Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Deaf Havana proved last night why they're my favourite. Great show, but an absolutely shite venue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Malkmus Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Went to see a Mozart/Schubert/Beethoven treble bill tonight. My first classical concert and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Seeing Built to Spill on Wednesday too which I can't wait for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Nooka Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Albert Hammond Jr was great again, CCA is a terrible venue though. Felt like a concert in a conference room, shitey view and miles to go for a drink. Worst venue i've been to in a long time, maybe ever! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Malkmus Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Did you get to speak to any of them? Grimbo No, although there was a bit of a rammy when Ludwig discovered he was warming the crowd up for Wolfgang. Felt very rock and roll. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_K_97 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Enjoyed Maximo Park at the barras immensely, was fantastic to hear A Certain Trigger played in full and given that a couple of the guys I was with had been at the Newcastle City Hall gig of theirs the night before with seating and nae booze it was the perfect antithesis to that. Didn't even mind getting snowed on when I got to Wilson Street on my way back to the city centre! Mickey 9s in Killie on Saturday were outstanding too - incredibly infectious and I'm considering taking a night off my work to go and see them on the 12th December in Glasgow. They worked the crowd so well, and the basslines are just brilliant. I've been won over a belter! Not sure what my next gig is now - if my mate can get me a ticket for The View on my birthday in Glasgow then I'll go to that, but I'm not too fussed if I miss them given I've seen them about 5 times now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 So it's Bring Me the Horizon supported by Mallory Knox tomorrow. That's a good wee one two punch there I reckon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
