Music Gigs

Well the Monster Magnet gig I was supposed to go to got cancelled cos Dave W took an overdose But the Pitchshifter gig was good, J kicking me in the face, not so good.... I forgot I'm old & went down to the pit for a laugh

Got a Senser (old skool) gig tonight & then it's off to see Robots in Disguise, BIB & Piranha Deathray on Monday at Nambucca

 

Also saw the Ordinary Boys a few weeks ago, and iForward Russia! were supporting We Are Scientists Managed to get a ticket to see Joe Satriani who's coming to town in a coupla months, can't wait

Bit of a thread revival-
Saw The Subways for the 2nd time last wednesday, with the Sunshine Underground being one of the supports (I swear the abuse they inflicited on the cowbells was verging on illegal).
Also got the Automatic and Babyshambles (depending on Pete's ability to avoid court) and the Holloways coming up.

Damn you damn you damn you! Wish I was still up that way. I got the email about the new Old Brewery venue and the upcomings and was positively gutted.

I did see PE at the Forum last year and they were just superb. Especially considering their ages now. Brilliant show.

Of the others; would LOVE to see Soulwax/2ManyDJs. Saw Rahzel with the Roots few years back, he's awesome.

 

Into Rotterdam Terror Corps?

 

I am currently booked to see Billy Talent, Imogen Heap, Disturbed and AFI... may venture out to see less than jake also

 

All I can remember this year...
The Cat Empire in edinburgh, august (best gig ev4r!)
Snow Patrol, The Editors, Ed Hardcort and Duke Special at Tennents Vital
Franz Ferdinand in dublin (Free tickets and then £30 return on the train! Still class)
Acoustic Ladyland last night, weirdest music I've heard in a long time

Currently hunting desperately for tickets for Muse in either belfast or dublin.. anybody got contacts?

 

Can't help you with getting them, but I hope you find some. Saw Muse at the Eden Project down in Cornwall a few weeks ago, was absolutely amazing, and I'll never forget it. If anyone gets the chance to see them, just do.

Have my tickets booked for Cardiff for the 12th November, 2 days after my birthday going to be great.

 

Disturbed at the Newcastle acaademy Emzay? If so i have tickets too

Ice

 

Ahh my buddy's band supported muse at that show, how were they??

AH

 

Are they in Hey Molly or Nixon and the Burn? My friends and I only went in to the arena around half way through the NatB set. They were alright, sounded promising but Hey Molly were better, as far as we could tell from the beer tent anyway

/OT
