Gene_Clark 12 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I missed out on Thurston Moore at The Cumberland tonight (work) & tomorrow (5 a side), sadly enough as it's his first time in Newcaslte since 1989 "Daydream Nation" tour. However, I am seeing the following -: 21/02 - Golden Grrrls - Morden Tower 26/02 - Fairport Convention - Sage 2 06/04 - British Sea Power - University 15/04 - Pere Ubu - Sage 2 10/06 - Neil Young - Arena So, who's on your to see list?

BigWalrus 0 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Got tickets for Neil Young and Mark Knopfler up here and also Muse at the Emirates. I was looking at British Sea Power too, I've seen some quality gigs of theirs. The last one was a bit disappointing though (at Newcastle Uni). I remember a woman with an SLR standing at the front being forcibly protected from the crowd by her bloke. Any sort of movement wasn't tolerated by the bouncers. I remember a gig of theirs at a church in town just down from Swan House roundabout, that was canny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Church was Oct 06 Aye it would have been the gig in 2008. Saw them in London too, supported by the Wurzels I think. And there was another uni gig about 2006 ish...frightening how long ago that is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Descendents next thursday Thee Oh Sees on Sunday Swans the week after Godspeed you! Black Emperor the night after My Bloody Valentine the Monday following maybe Crime and The City Solution that Thursday Einsturzende Neubauten that Friday Then Wild Nothings, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Dinosaur Jr in March And still trying to decide if I want to go see The Wedding Present play George Best at the end of Feb and the Hit Parade the next night.

Gene_Clark 12 Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 This, also Rush on 28 May in Sheffield. 12th june 1980; The Clash played the Mayfair on the same night Rush played the City Hall. The punks kicked seven shades out of the hippies all over town that night, which was the day before my Maths O level. I saw The Clash, had 3 pints of Export & got a C in sums the next day.
