paul-r-cfc Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Franz Ferdinand next Saturday, surely to f**k these Danish bar prices are a hoax that they wind up gullible tourists with before they go there?Teaching WWI with my second year class just now and when we started on the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, I said 'not the band!'None of them knew what I was talking about 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Machina Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Was at Reading Festival over the weekend and it was absolutely class. Highlights from each day were probably - Friday: The Fever 333, The Front Bottoms and Nothing But Thieves, Saturday: Mike Shinoda, The Magic Gang and Papa Roach, Sunday: Sleep Token, Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes and Slaves.The only acts I caught who I couldn't get into were Post Malone, Brockhampton and Bexey but I can't stand the autotuned singing over a track. They were all very received by the majority though so fair play to them. At the ripe old age of 22 I almost felt too old to be there. Loads of wee fannies cutting about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloop John B Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Going to Kendrick Lamar on Wednesday at the Summer Sessions, anyone with previous experience of going to concerts a Bellahouston Park, what's the best way to and back from Queen Street for the last train back at half 11? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Kendrick tomorrow. I mind hearing Eminem almost word for word up in Possil when he played Bellahouston so hopefully sound shouldn’t be an issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoss Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Stella Donnelly was tremendous last week. Privilege to see her at this stage of her career, particularly if - as she strongly implied - she's going to be playing with a band in future. Pussy Riot at the Edinburgh Festival were ... interesting. In a good way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmothecat2 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Kendrick tomorrow. I mind hearing Eminem almost word for word up in Possil when he played Bellahouston so hopefully sound shouldn’t be an issue. I'm going too. What's it like as a venue? Not particularly interested in Bugzy Malone or NERD but don't want to turn up later and find myself miles away from the stage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get straight in mate? I was in a queue for about a minute then by the time I was out standing tickets were gone. Had to get seating instead which is a bit shit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually don't mind the seating, decent view and sound but standing edges it a bit for me. Hopefully get a couple on friday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamJags Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Lee Bains III & The Glory Fires at The Hug & Pint tomorrow, then The Lone Bellow in Edinburgh on Friday. Both excellent live acts, so should be a good couple of days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was almost nobody at the Bristol gig. Also turns out that they're all thoroughly pleasant people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lovely wee venue and it does a cracking pint of it's in house St Lukes lager. Sold out of it the last time I was there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it. The only other time I saw them, the bassist broke a string and didn't have any replacements, so a guy from the crowd ran home to get a replacement, so we got Bains solo for the majority. As good as that was, I'm really wanting to see a full Glory Fires set. There was only a handful of people at the show last year, not expecting a massive turnout for tomorrow, which would be a great shame.

Depending on when you leave I'd probably say the Subway. Go to Dumbreck Road and walk north, Ibrox is ~15 minutes away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really play loud. Mogwai-loud, I might even suggest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
