Agree about Open Fire, one of my favourite TD songs. If you like The Darkness, have you heard The Struts? They’ve got some great tunes, and frontman Luke Spiller is another one who clearly owns the entire Queen CD collection. I’ve got fifteen or so of my favourite songs of theirs on in the car at the moment. Great stuff! Other motorists wondering who the daftie beside them at the lights is, who is loudly singing ‘Primadonna, prim-prim a-donna, be a primadonna like me tonight!’. Well, someone has to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Only been to four gigs in 2019, and two of them were only a few days ago. All were great though, two at the Hydro, and two at the O2 Academy. Kiss, Old Dominion, The Darkness, Alter Bridge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoss Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Gigs of the year would have a reasonable amount of overlap with the albums list - Pom Poko, Stella Donnelly, Ezra Furman, Black Midi. But I'd add in Bodega and Estrons (sadly since split); and if I can include festival sets then Parquet Courts and Mammoth Penguins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallochSonsFan Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) Cam Penner tonight. First gig of 2020 and first of my Celtic Connections shows. Not to everybody's taste. A few folk walked out pretty early on and a few more as the show went on. Cam completely changed direction with his most recent album and his style now is something that you either really like or really don't. It's intense. It's often pretty bleak. It's at times really quite tender. The one thing thats for sure is that its never anything less than captivating. I really enjoyed it but his music isnt really to be approached unless you're in the right frame of mind for it because it could wear you down. Support act were great. Bluegrass band called Midnight Skyracer. Terrible band name but a really talented bluegrass band. Typical strings set up (guitar, dobro, mandolin, banjo, fiddle and stand up bass). Typical all girl harmonies. Latest band to emerge from one of the bluegrass states like Virginia, Kentucky or one of the Carolinas? Nope. They're English, and possibly Irish. Accents are all from south of the border. I can see the kind of musical purists who bother about authenticity being irked by that because they play and sound like a proper bluegrass band despite not being from bluegrass country. If you're not one of those purist wankers then once you reconcile the difference between music and the people performing it, the contrast doesnt really matter and you can enjoy the fantastic finger picking and singing. Typical CC miss match though. They'd have been far more suited to opening for Bela Fleck tonight or for Della Mae on 28th.

RussellAnderson Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 First gig of the new decade - Slipknot at the Hydro. I’d never seen them before and they blew me away. Relentless. That clown fella is 50!! Corey Taylor is the best vocalist in the business. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Next up for me is Anna Meredith at the Oran Mor.

First support act was Skinny Living, who I was really impressed with. Will be looking out for their stuff over the next couple of days. Razorlight were really good, and the Kaiser Chiefs were excellent, as they always are. Won't be the last time I see them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
