mighty meadow Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Went to see Neon Waltz / Saints / Lional at the Harbour Arts Centre a couple of weeks ago. Cracking gig (well 2/3rds of it) in a great, wee venue. Lional were the surprise package. Opening the gig with a set of post-punk influenced songs. Would love to see them again, playing a longer set. Neon Waltz were even better than I expected. They just look like a bunch of mates who love playing music. Saints on the other hand were f******g abysmal. Everything about them seemed over thought and rehearsed and the guitarist was the most embarrassing musician I've seen since Spinal Tap. Great value all in for £6 though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I didn't. Spent my non-beer money on the Nobody Wants To Be Here tshirt. Hoping they put the print online soon though so I can get one. Did you?I got number 2. I'm quite eager. They'd said on twitter (or facebook, I forget which) that any that didn't get sold would be on the website, but I'm not seeing any. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd said on twitter (or facebook, I forget which) that any that didn't get sold would be on the website, but I'm not seeing any. I didn't even realise they were numbered, I might've made more of an effort to get one if that were the case! James is probably still coming down from Saturday that he hasn't had a chance to get them up yet. Either that or they did sell them out! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcat1990 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Neil Young confirmed as playing Hydro on June 7th next year. Saw him couple of years back with Crazy Horse and was decent. Would love to see him do a set of his own material though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daydream Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 The Charlatans tonight at the Caird Hall. Should be decent. I really enjoyed it. Was a bit disappointed at the small crowd but it did get a but lively nonetheless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 35 years ago last week that they played Scotland with Baker on the Levitation tour. Great drummer but a C*** of a man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamJags Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Saw a nearly-free Megabus (only paying 50p booking fee) down to Manchester so bought a ticket to see Tame Impala in February. Got a ticket for Jesse Malin in Tuts as well while I was feeling generous to myself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salmonbuddie Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) Sorry, worded that completely incorrectly. Meant a set of his solo stuff instead of his work with Crazy Horse. Have a look at the setlists from the gigs he's played so far on this tour, looks like he comes on and does 6 or so solo acoustic numbers before the Nelson boys join him for the Monsanto Years stuff. Even then, there's loads of non-Horse stuff e.g. a couple of songs from both Harvest and Harvest Moon. Just hope he lives long enough to make it over!

WhiteRoseKillie Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 The Horse, while a hell of a backing band, are just that when they're accompanying Neil. He's a bit of a control freak, you know. I do agree with the sentiment, though, at least I think I know what you mean now. Neil's stuff can be sorted into different categories, some of them pretty damned esoteric - or nigh-on unlistenable for the uninitiated. I personally like his more acoustic stuff best, but the way some of those songs get beefed up with a real kick ass backing band on stage gives them a whole new dimension. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpetmonster Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Just got tickets for The Cure supported by The Twilight Sad in June, fucking chuffed. The Cure in an outdoor venue in Miami in June should be interesting though, Bob'll melt if he tries to put a cardigan on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
