Saw Therapy? 4 or 5 years ago, a properly sweaty, energetic night spent in the pit. Terrific fun.

The chap I saw Therapy? with has been going on about Lonely the Brave for a couple of months. The tracks I've heard are impressive, is tonights gig their album launch?

Band of Skulls at the Shpherd's Bush Empire the week before last. Saw them last summer too. It's always a good sign when the reception for a band's unknown new songs (this wa a few days before Himalayan was released) is nearly as good as for the old favourites.

Been going to Therapy? gigs since 94, never seen a bad show. Tonights show is a 20th anniversary of troublegum, playing the album in full followed by a set of b-sides, covers and favourites. If it's anything like the 15th anniversary shows it will be amazing.

The lonely the brave album will be out on 2nd June and there'll be an album launch show to coincide on 4th June at dingwalls. They currently have the backroads 4 track ep available which is a cracking introduction to the band.

Although the line-up isn't amazing, It will be great to see Trivium, Phil Anselmo and Sikth as well as Monuments at download this year.

Super excited for Sikth, this being their first reunion show.

SikTh reforming was the best news I'd heard in ages. I really hope they play some 'home' shows (I must have seen them play St Albans, Watford and Harpenden 20+ times). It would be nice to see them added to the Sunday at Sonisphere too (only because I've got a ticket for that day).

Yes live in Germany and take holidays for the Tour plus the band sell a Season Ticket which helps with costs and the hassle of booking tickets. Cheap hotels and friends houses also helps as does car sharing.
Gotta love the dedication! I've seen Super Furry Animals nineteen times, a pal of mine has seen Springsteen 70+ times on five continents. I'd like to say "well it keeps us out of pubs", but quite the opposite! smile

I failed to get tickets for the this morning. Another one for the Wildhearts next Thursday though which should be an awesome start to the weekend.

Saw Within Temptation last night - very good, took SWMBO along (not really a 'rock-chick' and hadn't even heard of them), both loved it. I was quite surprised at the age grouping though as there seemed to be a large percentage of oldies (including us!)

WT made their breakthrough in 2000. Saw them on Friday at Manchester. Absolutely brilliant, one of the best gigs/shows I've been to. I thought Delain were good but they need another guitarist live to match this: (riff at 10 seconds)

WT have been a slow burner for me, first few albums had a couple of gems each but a lot of meh! stuff. The last few have been outstanding and they really deserve a big headline tour.

I went to the WT gig last night as well. I've been following them since around 2005/2006/ Silent Force era, got my mate into them and now his girlfriend is really into them as well.

Saw them at the Astoria and Brixton a few years back but missed their last gig in London when they rescheduled and I couldn't make it.

They were top of their game last night though, Sharon sounding better than ever.

It was good to see such a turn out as well!! pretty full in there.

To you after a few songs in the mosh pit, to the building, or to eardrums and sensitivities in a 3-mile radius???

First saw 'em on the Davidian tour supporting Slayer...blew most of the audience away (inc. Barney from Napalm Death, who was standing next to my mate for half the gig), but still didn't quite out-do Slayer...hell of an introduction to 'em though...
