How was Toy in the end? They really are better on recordings than live. (Congrats on the contract signing)

Thank you Corgi.
Toy were okay but I did find them a bit repetitive and single-paced after a while. The venue is an easy tram ride away and we got there just after they went on; had a couple of beers and then moved on. My point being that we did not really sacrifice much. Had I made space for them in my Friday night diary or sacrificed something else I might be more negative about them. A bit of live music whilst having a couple of beers is probably the best way to describe the gig.

With bells on. I'm not sure they've made it here yet
Anyone seeing Thurston at Green Door Store t tomorrow? I'm supposedly getting to meet the great man which will be nice. I'll try not to ask him anything about Kim.

That's very much how I felt seeing them last month. Although I have got both albums it was difficult to make out some of the songs as the sound was that poor. However, the title track to Join The Dots is a great song as is most of the stuff on the first album.

I see that Dean Wareham is splaying the Albert in May
I confidently predict that his last encore will be a cover of 'Ceremony' and that it will be jolly good.

CHVRCHES were pretty good, if a little brief (they played for less than an hour, but it did "only" cost £15). Tether was a highlight and the singles also went down well. A new guitar-heavy song bodes well for more variety in their next album, harking back a little bit more to band members' old bands (ie The Twilight Sad and the phenomenal Aereogramme). Great freaky dancing from Martin Doherty as well.

I look forward to listening and hoping for a sleaford mod track nearer the time of their Albert date.

Good gawd, that's amazing. Can I recommend others that if they've got a spare hour, then you'll do worse things with it than listening to this.
Thanks for the link James, and I hope hearing and conversing with Thurston went well. Saw him back in Sep, and have had too much work on, so didn't go. I recognised a couple of them in Fire!: Dan Berglund who plays electric double bass and was in EST; and, some saxophonist who plays with Peter Brotzmann sometimes.

Corgi Registered Engineer - Have you noticed the Sleaford Mods gig will be after the last home game of the season. Hopefully we'll be celebrating being playoff bound!

It had not occurred to me but what a great way to celebrate. Can't see myself going home between match and concert and could well be the worse for wear before band come on.

Been trying to find a track without swearing for your show and closest I came to was Donkey.

Decided on a whim to get Cat Power tix for the Dome as it's solo - last time I saw her was in a small club in London for the Covers tour when she just meltedallhersongstogetherwithoutfinishingthem, because she was so nervous it seems. Hoping for a better show a decade (?) later.
Still love Troubled Waters, even though it is a cover of a cover really.

Factory Floor (Coalition, 17 May) and Tuneyards (Concorde, 26 June) announced recently.
Who's going to see Polar Bear on Wed?
Has anyone been to The Verdict as yet? I'm considering going to see the Ivo Neame quintet, and that decision may be swayed by any feedback on the venue.

Thanks for Factory Floor heads up. Thought they would go for a larger venue than Coalition though.

Listening to this weeks show whilst getting ready for football. A particularly strong start with the first two tracks really hitting the mark. All bodes well for a win later on I think.
