I'm rather new to the UK and am looking to go to a few good shows "close" to where I live. I live about 30 minutes from Cambridge and 30 minutes from Norwich (smack dab in the middle). I want to see metal/hardcore/punk/rock bands. If I'm not exhausted and covered in sweat its not the type of show that I want to go to. NO POP MUSIC! Where are some good places to check out? thanx
Camb: http://www.cambridge.gov.uk/public/cornex/index_2.html Norwich: https://secure.ueaticketbookings.co.uk/default.aspx?try=Cookie Or if your up for a good punk/metal/indie/rock/alt club night Id recommend trying 'Meltdown' at the Waterfront Norwich. Always fun to be had there
Yeah, UEA is probably the best place... its prob a bit further than either of those two but we've got some bands coming to Essex University (Colchester) in May, namely Biffy Clyro and Million Dead </shameless plug>
Its not bad, a little small being just a pub back room and drinks arent that cheap (for a pub) either, the riverside is close and lloyds is cheap so worth a pre-gig stop off. I find that unless you know the band/what style of music the bands are playing before hand you've got no idea what your gonna see. Rawkus @waterfront is a better choice IMO.
