ford prefect Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Yeah he never misses the Tories. At a previous Glasgow gig he asked if he could stay up here. "As long as you're not a Tory" was the reply. "I'm a steel workers son from Sheffield, what do you fucking think?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aDONisSheep Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 (edited) Just booked my tickets to see The Wedding Present at Shepherds Bush in October... I'm as giddy as a schoolgirl! It's the 35th anniversary of their album Bizarro, that they are going to play in its entirety, with other stuff thrown in (including some Cinerama stuff allegedly). They are possibly my favourite band. Yours, have you lost your love of life? Too much apple pie. aDONis Edited June 4 by aDONisSheep 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Sparhawk was one half of Low and probably who I’m most excited for - he’s done solo instrumental stuff before as well as a band without Mimi (the other half) called Retribution Gospel Choir. Interested to see whether he’ll be doing any of that or if he’s managed to write a load of new stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've had big headliners before - Meat Puppets and Bob Mould come to mind - but the depth this year is quite something. I presume Jon Spencer will have to come on in daylight or near it (curfew is usually 10) which will be interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Went down to see Eagles and The Doobies at that new fangled COOP Live last night. Both bands were top notch, the sound in the arena was very impressive but the crowd were, as expected, pish. The Tam Mullen in me is still reeling at the price of the pints but we had a rare night and I really enjoyed our night in Manchester. The tram system is excellent and very reasonably priced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Inn Defence cafe/record shop in Dumbarton are going to try to have a band on every Saturday afternoon after a successful first show at the weekend there. They have the excellent Gary's Rainbow Shop in on Sunday and I'll probably go down and check that out before I'm busy with the Clyde Cup Final in the evening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tout P'ti FC Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 I saw the Flaming Lips support Mercury Rev almost 25-years ago to the day (give or take a month). Mostly playing Soft Bulletin era stuff. That would be one I’d like to go back and see in my time machine. Found this somewhat grouchy review of the occasion. His reservations about the venue are mainly fair, as my recollection is that after an initial burst of gigs once Potterrow had been extended (1998 ish) it was hardly ever used again for that purpose. I do remember it was a very small crowd, but I went to a lot of gigs then and I could very well be mixing this up with another night at Potterrow. http://www.mmmm.eclipse.co.uk/live/MERCREVedinb.htm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister got one for Taylor when they released some tickets this morning. £60 to sit behind the stage and not be able to see anything. It's not my money I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
