How was Mike Krol? Know nothing about him but his new album is okay and I see he's playing Glasgow in a bit.

Black Midi I've already seen but interested to know how they went down over there.

Mike Krol was great. He plays with Allison Krutchfield on bass.

Black Midi were one of the buzz bands of the week. Everyone I know was left... none the wiser. Some skeletons of songs, but not much depth.

Ended up picking up a couple of last minute tickets for Anderson .Paak last night so headed along. God damn that man is talented. And so versatile. 

The crowd was absolutely wall to wall hipster c***s, though.

Anderson.Paak was great, about as much fun as you can have at a gig. Proper show, proper good times

The guy is just an outstanding talent. Seemlessly jumping between hard hip hop to slow jams. His band are incredible musicians as well. Was blasting his Tiny Desk session all day before it.

Was actually on two minds over whether to go as I had tickets for this and James at the Usher Hall booked before I realised they clashed. James announcing the Princes’ Street gardens gig later in the year made the decision for me. Superb night! 

Sleeper tomorrow for me next, shame the new record isn’t out til Friday but I’m sure it’ll be classics heavy anyway.

Would be interested on your views on both The Dunts and Rascalton (having seen them both over the last year or two).  Also how were Fontaines DC as there seems to be a LOT of hype.  Cheers.


First two were both awful. Rascalton have a very laddish following and played up to them. A bunch of idiots making Jesus poses to three blokes in Fred Perry. It was a generally unpleasant atmosphere. The Dunts were largely incompetent but actually played a gig rather than just impressing their mates.

Fontaines DC blew the other two out the water. Four clunkers to start their set and then they kicked on a gear. Pretty impressive. The people who I was with liked ‘em way more than I did, but compared with those other two bands they were great. Fontaines DC played undercard to Black Midi, but by the end of the week only one of those bands was being widely discussed. Fontaines DC are, it has to be said, one part Oasis to two parts Joy Division with a healthy touch of the Fall. They’ll get a lot of coverage, I’d imagine. Jools Holland surely awaits.

Should add that tonight's support - Catholic Action - are pish. Pretentious wankers lead by a floppy haired p***k in a beige flasher raincoat. If you want to be a dull and predictable rip off of a Scottish band then you should at least aim a little bit higher than Franz fucking Ferdinand.
