Gene_Clark 12 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) Seen: Band of Horses Academy; not bad. Less corporate than I imagined. More Fleet foxes than The Band British Sea Power Tyne Theatre: astonishing. Indie's last great eccentrics still firing on all cynlinders with their usual eclectic mix of anthemic pop and krautrock inspired drone. Jonny Cluny & Independent; beguiling. Teenage Fanclub's Norman 7 Euros from Gorky's doing the quirky, acoustic lo-fi thing with some genuinely affecting tunes. Coming up: Vic Godard, Star & Shadow March 10th. First saw him in 78 supporting The Buzzcocks. Still as resolutely arcane & obscure as ever. Trembling Bells supporting The Unthanks, Tyne Theatre April 17th. The reincarnation of Fairport circa "Unhalfbricking" supporting the daft sisters. Anyone else? Edited July 3, 2012 by Gene_Clark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Going to see Turisas in March. Really can't wait! Also not really a gig but I have tickets for Avenue Q in April which I'm also looking forward to. Looks hilarious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 3356 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 So far this year: Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - Disappointing, it was like a medley show, 60 seconds of every song they ever recorded in an outdoor tent venue. Jim Jone Revue - Amazing but with only 300 in 1000 capacity venue, if they had of played the same gig two days later it would have been sold out. Deerhunter - Absolutely brilliant except for the complete wank where Cox and Pundt decided to play feedback wars after the last song, so the audience stood around for 15 minutes in hope of another song - over indulgent. Local Native - Brilliant but they did have trouble carrying off some of their songs live. Swervedriver - My favourite band whom I've waited 15 years to see live again. They were solid but the gig was full of technical hitches and the mix was shit. Got tickets to see Besnard Lakes the week after next and deciding whether to go see Hugh Cornwell and Ed Kuepper later in the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15531 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Justin Townes Earle last month, otherwise not much lined up that I can think of except Wine, Women & Song at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in June. Oh and I'm out of the country when Sufjan's around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweredriver - saw them several times in early 90s; "She's Beside Herself" & "Rave Down" being my favourites. Not seen them since they reformed. Ed Kuepper - went to se him with Laughing Clowns in 82; "Year of the Bloated Goat" - great stuff. What's he doing now? Please don't tell me it's simply The Saints doing "Perfect Day" and "I'm Stranded"..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4386 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Saw the Manics last month, Big Country to come in April and will probably go to V - might make a return to Reading if the line-up is decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't tell me it's simply The Saints doing "Perfect Day" and "I'm Stranded"..... No, although he's been involved with one of the Saints reformation shows he's generally tried to keep away from the Chris Bailey revival. He's reformed the Clowns for a few shows but like Swervedriver's reformation, shows happen in small clumps every few years. Besides replacing Mick Harvey in the Bad Seeds, he still releases one or two albums a year through his website - http://www.thekuepperfiles.com/ - check out the discography for how prolific he is. But his next lot of shows are two sets, first being the complete album Electrical Storm (which is a classic) and the second set being the album Today Wonder both with Mark Dawson (who I've worked with and is an amazing drummer). btw: how the fuck can you be fist's brother if you haven't posted in the belta minge thread???
