Never seen her live before, so I'm really looking forward to it. Saw her at King Tut's. Didn't know much about her but went along as my missus is a fan. Great show. Big voice. And very good looking into the bargain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping they announce an Amsterdam gig otherwise I'll need to go to Rotterdam, The Wedding Present are one of the first bands I really got into when I was a teenager all thanks to John Peel! I was visiting my parents over Christmas and found my old stash of vinyl...Bizarro, George Best and Tommy along with some EP's they're all still in decent condition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinerama too, bless him. The Weddoes have written a ton of catchy tunes over the last 30+ years. Can't wait! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a great gig but the venue is hot as hell and really uncomfortable. 2 support acts - Olympia and Georgia Mulligan. It'll either be an early start or a really late finish. Most venues are pretty strict about finishing times these days, so most likely an early start. Sorry to be missing this one, anyhow. Saw a few minutes of her at End of the Road the other year, but wasn't paying as much attention as I should have. Really like the new album but this gig has been sold out for ages. On the plus side, Lucy Dacus has announced an Edinburgh gig for June. And Gazelle Twin has been added to this year's End of the Road line-up. Both of which bits of news have cheered me up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Got to say that early reports of her not being a good live performer on her first UK tour are being confirmed for me. She has a great voice. The band are tight. Everything sounds great. But there's just no show here. I don't want her to be flashy. Wouldn't be her style. But I want something different from the experience I'd have listening on vinyl through my Grado headphones. For a live gig it feels a little sterile. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallochSonsFan Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) Julia Jacklin wasn't great live tonight. Her stuff is really good. I really enjoy her music. It's just that tonight's gig was absolutely no different to sticking the vinyl on at home. I don't care if it's a rock band with a n energetic stage show or an intimate singer songwriter playing solo, a live gig should offer the audience something else. Something that they can't get from the record. As much as her songs are really good, you could listen to her albums on a halfway competent stereo and get as much enjoyment as seeing her live. I want gigs to give me something different to the record, even if it's just things sounding a little more raw and rough around the edges. Jacklin's live performance was just a bit sterile for me.

GrahamJags Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 The above are my thoughts on both Julia Jacklin and Lucy Dacus. When I saw both of them, it seems as if they hadn't really refined their live performances. Jacklin was on her first record, Dacus was on her second. Sounds like nothing has really changed for the former. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoss Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I've heard that said before about Jacklin, but as I said I only saw her for a few minutes and wasn't paying enough attention. Dacus I like a lot, but then it was maybe my album of the year last year so it was great to hear it done with the immediacy of the live performance. I agree she's not particularly spontaneous, but I don't agree that it didn't add anything to the record. For me, anyhow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union St Gilloise Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I think I missed the boat with OH Sees tickets. If anyone has a spare let me know. Looking forward to Built to Spill at end of the month though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qos91 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Larkin Poe were absolutely fantastic. Saw them in Glasgow. Best band I've watched in a long time. What a voice Rebecca Lovel has as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
