I left a few songs early as was surrounded by some absolute arseholes talking and shouting the whole way through... hey ho maybe im just getting old and grumpy. Nah, fuckwits who treat gigs like a loud jukebox to talk over need stabbed in the throat. Acoustic based stuff highlights them more as there’s no loud base to go over them but they are still there at full band gigs. I don’t get it at all, there’s so many better places to have a laugh and a chat, why the f**k would you pay money to try and shout over the artist you have payed to listen too? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 People who talk at gigs make me wish I'd tried harder at the guitar so I could have been good and famous and successful so if people talked when they came to see me I could jump down off the stage and choke them with my lead. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 The Luka State were pretty decent in Dundee tonight. Nothing earth shattering.. fairly derivative northern English guitar based indie rock, but they're good at what they do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkySuperSub Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 The Inspiral Carpets at SWG3 on Thursday. Suddenly it's 1989 again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code-a Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Saw Holy Coves in Nice n Sleazy on Thursday. Very good 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 The Damned last night were very good. I was a bit worried as you tube videos of gigs in Europe didn't seem great. New stuff was all decent and they did a few old classics. Must be quite hard deciding what to leave out when they've been going so long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) A fantastic Easter Sunday night in the company of Gun at The Bungalow in Paisley. Billed as an acoustic show, it was more like a semi acoustic night of superb energy and great songs. A veery good live band, still at the top of their game. Got Wednesday 13 at the Cathouse tomorrow night. 3 support bands, so should be good value.

Gun stopped being Gun for me as soon as Mark Rankin stopped doing the lead vocal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig fae the Vale Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 An Easter Monday seeing Wednesday 13 for the first time in almost 20 years. A really good show. Support from South of Salem, who I have now seen twice in a few weeks in support slots. They're a good band, but something about them just doesn't click for me. Sick n Beautiful, who were excellent, and also sound. Bought their graphic novel, which I'm looking forward to reading. And Tarah Who? Who put on a good performance. Bonus photo of me with 2 members of Sick n Beautiful. Good guys, will be looking out for further tours of theirs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty It Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Razorlight last night (not my thing but Mrs Empty wanted to go) as decent as could be expected. Added bonus bumped into Joel Hoekstra, guitarist from Whitesnake, in Bannermans afterwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantene proV Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) I really wasn't expecting too much from Peter Hook & The Light last night at the o2, but it was absolutely wonderful. Ran through some New Order songs then Unknown Pleasures and Closer, followed by JD crowd pleasers. He's got a great band too. Played for around 2.5 hours. Top stuff.

Aye, I had similar reservations about this but thought it was excellent. Only downside was the awful drinks selection in the venue 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 7 minutes ago, yabass said: £70+ a standing ticket I'm going to guess the elaborate stage background will be part of that. Arcade Fire, with loads of people and instruments and decoration, was around the same price. The National, with loads of people and instruments, was something like £50. Paramore next week is ~60-70, I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Of course, the "special standing package" which includes an A3 print and a lanyard and costs twice as much as a regular standing ticket is something even I won't try to defend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
