Just seen France in Todmorden. At one point I actually got high using my ears. Never experienced anything quite like it. If that's drone then I'm fully invested.

I'd not heard of them before but I got interested when you said 'drone' so I hunted them out on spoifty.

I'm about quarter of the way through their one, 1hr+ live noisy drone track and I'm f**king smitten. 

Thank you!

Was at kasabian and the streets last night, great gig

Saw Ezra Collective on Thursday at Bristol Beacon. Great venue, great show, would smash any slot on the Farm. West Holts headliner maybe?

Would be lovely to see Ezra Collective get a nice meaty slot.

Did the same tonight in Manchester, it was incredible. High energy start to finish, really good set list (loved hearing Bumblebeee especially) and a great crowd.

I recently saw Shelf Lives and wow what a great gig! Wouldn't surprise me if they rock up on the BBC Intro stage in June . Definately 'One To Watch'.

Julien Baker last night ...amazing, definitely the strongest of the 3 Boy Genius members

 

love gigs these days, mix of radio 6 dads and teens crying and doing reaction videos on Tiktok 

 

but i will never get queuing up before a gig, people were in the queue 3 hours before in the pouring rain.

Madness. Queuing long beyond the capacity of my kneecaps.

Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit last night at the Apollo. Got a cheap resale ticket at last minute, main reason for going was i like the Drive by Truckers and Jason was a member when they did a couple of my favourite albums. Anyhoo no massive expectations but my word it was a great experience. He has a fine voice, a stellar band and some absolutely great tunes. Not sure how to define it, live, they are far more rockier than on record, epic guitar solo’s, and acoustic ballads all beefed up. Terrific stuff. Heartily recommend although i think they are at the end of their euro tour for this year.

Anyone know how I can get hold of 2 tickets for Sports Team at Rescue Rooms in Nottingham on Friday?

I went last night and tbh I expected better. Vocals were a bit off, crowd (although loving it) were very passive and though she was better and more raw without the band. Prefer listening to the albums than live after lat night, but great singer/songwriter though. Didnt really like the venue either.

Amyl and the Sniffers last night in Birmingham were amazing. They played pretty much all of the new album and it went down really well. A lively crowd for a Sunday too. There looks to be big gaps in their schedule for next summer and the European festivals.

Saw AatS at Glastonbury 2022. They were up against Diana Ross, so an no-brainer 😂 Amy Taylor is a whirlwind and the band rock. Really hoping they have a slot at G2025.

Within Temptation had a pretty wretched figure in terms of crowd numbers in Leeds last night, but were reliably bombastic fun.
