[Music] The Live Music thread

[Trufflehound]

What are you doing from Wednesday to Friday?

Bloody part timer.

If suitably inspired by the Tuesday, I'd fully expect him to be busy cycling from Berlin to Amsterdam.

on the subject of Amsterdam am I correct in thinking you like in the Nederlands? And as a regular contributor to the craft thread can you recommend any suitable bars in the Dutch capital?

PM sent.

In summary, so as not to pollute a music thread with too much beer: In De Wildeman, Beer Temple, Arendsnest, Hoppy Days, Delirium Amsterdam, Gollem 1, 2, 3 or 4, De Prael Proeflokaal, De Spuyt.

Then see my signature...

A big big thank you! I will report back.

Royal Blood was excellent last night and 2000 Berlin kids were going nuts for them. I was a bit drunk and my enthusiasm got the better of me so there were a few Seagulls chants. The drummer seemed to acknowledge them as well.

It's really nice to see a home-town band breaking big. If they are able to knock out a 2nd album as good as this one they will go huge.

Mini Mansions, the support, were good; will check them out. They kind of channel Beatles, ELO, quirky power pop XTC....that's what I was getting anyway.

Can't decide whether it's worth £40 to see Prodigy on their May tour. Tempted to do the London Saturday night gig, but then Brighton Centre, as rubbish as it is, will be smaller on the Tuesday. New track is the same old punk-uncle-trying-to-be-cool cringefare that was tired on Always Outnumbered Never Outgunned (reminds me a bit of Jez and SuperHans referencing them in Peep Show). But they are essentially mega, obviously.

If it were a choice between Brixton Academy or Brighton Centre, I'd go for Brixton but seeing as it's Alexandra Palace I'd save my money and go to the Centre.

Interested to hear what the Sleaford Mods collaboration on the new record sounds like.

Anyone rememeber The Julie Ruin (Kathleen Hanna of Bikini Kill and Le Tigre's new outfit) cancelling a date in Brighton last year due to Hanna's ongoing battle with the complications of late stage lyme's disease?

Well they are playing London in May (possible in Europe for Primavera?). Desperately hoping for a Brighton reschedule. Never caught a Hanna project in the flesh before.

 

[spring hall convert]

Also - Festivals. Who's doing what? I've bitten the bullet and am going to Glastonbury this year.

Colour Out of Space has been moved to April - http://www.colouroutofspace.org/

Definately doing THe Great Escape.

Would like to do Raw Power - http://babayagashut.com/raw-power-festival

Supersonic is back this year, loved it the year I went - http://www.supersonicfestival.com/

Would like to sneak Bestival in if possible

One Inch Badge said they are doing "Dimensions Festival" this November in the bumpf for Drill.

Only Great Escape and Glastonbury for me, I would love to do Primavera again but just can't afford it.

I saw Le Tigre at the Concorde a number of years ago. They were great fun.

I had tickets to see LT at The Concorde once and didn't go. I can't remember the reason. I take it you got this bad boy

Melt! in July, plus the Berlin Festival at their new Arena location (and new time in the year).

Berlin Festival has down-sized in venue and their Templehof slot is going to be taken by Berlin Lollapalooza.... if the line-up is any cop I'll go to this as well.

Hello boys and girls, can I come and play?

Have been reading NSC for ages and particularly the music threads. Since I've clearly been standing next to more than one of you at a bunch of gigs in Brighton, it's begun to feel a bit like stalking, so I thought it was time to introduce myself.

So far this year I'm booked in for JAMC, Underworld and Sleaford Mods, plus Great Escape. Oh, and the intriguing Richard Dawson at West Hill Hall. And looking at a few things like White Fence and Nisennenmondai. But I was particularly wondering whether any fellow Kraftwerk aficionados were going along to this:

Would not suprise me if Sleaford Mods ended up being support for the tour.

Welcome! I'm not going to the Kraftwerk event but I went to a similar thing in London a few years ago which was based on the band Laibach. Was rather interesting especially the interview with one of the founders.

Birmingham on a Wednesday or Thursday in January cannot be done, unfortunately.

I'll see you at JAMC, Sleaford Mods and White Fence!

You haven't got a ticket for Benjamin Booker that you don't need, have you?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

No Kraftwerk tonight; no returned tickets. Booooooo

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Two festivals so far 2015- Great Escape and Edge Of The Sea. Managed Bits of Drill last year so hope for more of the same from One Inch Badge in November.

Greetings. Going to Sleaford Mods (intrigued to see them), but not interested in the conference -- are you presenting?
