TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Went to see Pusha T at the warehouse project a couple of weeks ago, who is and was phenomenal. GMP speeding ticket arrived in the post yesterday though. Bastard. My first ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 3355 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 For anyone interested there is a great garage punk band from Sydney called Straight Arrows playing at the Cluny on the 9 April. They are a lot of fun and worth seeing live. https://www.facebook.com/straightarrows/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 3355 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Last weekend saw J Mascis solo on the Friday, went to a festival called Farmer and Owls where I saw Snail Mail, Beach House, J Mascis, The Aints, A Place to Bury Strangers, Amyl and the Sniffers and a bunch of smaller bands. Sunday night saw A Place to Bury Strangers again and Monday night Beach House. The Jesus and Mary Chain tomorrow night, Straight Arrows as mentioned above next week, then in the next month or so Tropical Fuck Storm (the guys from the Drones new band), Gang of Four, Hugh Cornwell, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever and later in the year Sisters of Mercy (I know wtf?).

Gemmill 44804 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 The oldest hipster in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 3355 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Morning Scotty, FYI you're not a hipster if you were there the first time around. That should ease your guilt a little bit when you and CT are off to see the next Ah Ha or Bros show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21567 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I think Gemmil's off to the Rick Astley gig at the mouth of the Tyne festival iirc. I'm looking forward to the proclaimers there tbh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 3355 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Another one not for Gemmil, Tropical Fuck Storm at Cobalt Studios on 18 May. Amazing band live and the support is another good Australian punk band, Cable Ties. http://www.cobaltstudios.co.uk/event/2019/5/18/wandering-oak-tropical-fuck-storm-au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I’m all about The Chats tbh @sammynb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 3355 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 The Chats, you cannot go wromg with a bit of bogan pub rock young Tom! You need to get yourself a bit Amyl & the Sniffers; also some Skeggs; and maybe some Hockey Dad if that's your thing. I'd still recommend making the effort to see TFS, I've seen them twice in the last month and they're worth the cover charge. Just for their Missy Elliot cover.

Tom 14011 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I’ll look them up Sammy! Need a bit of a change & honestly prefer the simplicity to a lot of other stuff kicking about at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 3355 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Just saw Sam Fender. Good show in a small venue, 200 or so capacity that was sold out and full off 20 something girls and middle aged Geordies. Band was tight and SF has some decent tunes in him, well worth the effort for a Wednesday night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44804 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Ah man. I've got tickets for April. Unfortunately at the Arena. He needs to get his shit together, he had to pull out of Glastonbury too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongebob toonpants 3993 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I've bought tickets for December for the Sleaford Mods at the Brighton Dome. By my estimation its 50/50 to actually go ahead, but hey here's hoping Sickeningly just realised I will be 60 by the time it rolls around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 3355 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I might travel 90 minutes south of Sydney on Saturday to go see a small punk gig as all the local Sydney venues are still shut. The hope of seeing something bigger than 50 people is still some way off and forget international touring acts for another year or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15518 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 But our population is so much bigger than New Zealand's and they don't have any densely populated cities unless you include the ones that are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 35059 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Don’t know if you’ve seen any of the programmes on bbc4 about the Obama administration. The gun nuts accused him of weaponising the parents. His response was - are you really saying the victims’ families of this and similar events shouldn’t have a say on this? Or words to that effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
