The Cult this Saturday at the Glasgow Academy. Cannae wait. Really mixing up the set now. Doing some really old Death Cult era stuff along with deeper album cuts and brand new material as opposed to the "greatest hits" type things that they've done the past few years. Should be a belter to hear songs like this.

Kyuss Live! (Kyuss without Josh Homme, sadly) are playing the ABC in early April, so I'm considering going to that. Flobots are playing the ABC mid-April, and tickets are a tenner, so that's pretty sweet.

Flobots are one of the dullest live bands around. Excellent on record though.

A few of my mates saw them touring with Rise Against a few years ago (Anti-Flag MAY have been there too, some sort of anti-war tour anyway) and they all said they were pretty good and the bassist was shit-hot. This was before listening to them on record.

Yeah, I heard that a while ago. Not sure they'll be half as good without Homme.

Reel Big Fish is my next gig, 21st of next month, can't wait.

Aye that's when I saw them too. I maybe psyched myself up about them too much and was let down massively. They looked terrifired and the crowd seemed bored shitless.

What a gig that was laugh.gif

The Vaccines started things off well with Wreckin' Bar and some other choices from their upcoming debut album whilst Everything Everything kept the momentum flowing with a solid set, the highlight being recent single Photoshop Handsome.

It was Magnetic Man, however, that really kicked things off. A lot of people around me were unsure whether they would live up to expectation but they smashed it. With the help of an mc to whip the crowd into a frenzy, Benga, Skream and Artwork delivered a 50 minute set packed with hits from their debut album such as The Bug, Fire and the two singles I Need Air and Perfect Stranger which had the whole crowd shouting along.

Crystal Castles were delayed by 15 minutes and it looked doubtful when a man came out and read a pre prepared statement from the band stating that Alice Glass had broken (I think) her ankle and was ordered to cancel the tour. However, she had apparently told the doctor to 'f**k himself' and came out onstage on crutches and proceeded to spend the next hour jumping around the stage whilst the crowd followed suit, creating a brilliant atmosphere. Whilst they might not be the best sounding band live, Crystal Castles know how to put on a frenetic show.

Magnetic Man and Crystal Castles should tour together more often!

went to a gig last night which consisted of evan parker and some guitarist which i forget the name of improvising for about 90 minutes. the guitarist frist, then it was evan parker and he just blow my mind. Nearly 20 minutes of soprano sax without stopping to take a breath.:o

Then they played together which was good. It was worth it to see parker doing that circular breathing but i did find myself thing of differnet thing near the end and really the guitarist had no real talent apart from guts. Still is was good.

Reel Big Fish at the ABC in Glasgow on the 20th February - buzzing to see them again! Saw them last year at the Academy and they were absofuckingphenomenal! Probably the best live band I've seen to date.

+1, saw Less Than Jake(the other Ska band that most people know) in November so will be happy to compare. Can't wait for Reel Big Fish, might need to get their back catalogue out and bust them out.

i'll be there, absolutely buzzing for it :)

Also have Frank Turner on the 16th, rescheduled from start of Dec so looking forward to it, the guy is a legend

Yeah it's actually the 20th, I wrote that when I thought it was the 21st, there was a lot of confusion because the ABC were saying it was the Sunday the 21st and I saw two facebook events(made by the ABC and RBF groups).

It's two weeks today.
