Wednesday nights at the Ritz were a staple in my youth. Just enough time to recover for the weekend 
I never really clicked with The Fall but saw them live a few times in order to ogle Brix Smith
I do appreciate them a lot more now.
Hope you have a great time, but beware. I saw The Levellers play at Manchester International a few years back and for some reason I was gobsmaked at how old they looked.
Say hello to the old girl for me, The Ritz not Brix.
We I have to say The Fall where much better than I thought they would be. MES is still mental and the band were powerful and tight. I never really clicked with The Fall but saw them live a few times in order to ogle Brix Smith

Was much better than I thought it would be as although I enjoy their records some of the life performances I have seen have been shambolic.

My wife and I were trying work out what particular drug MES had been on and we settled on "two of everything"
The scary thing is probably none - he's just made that way Glad you enjoyed it!

Milk Teeth and Black Foxxes (hopefully) tonight. Clwb Ifor Bach
I've just been to see boy jump ship and they had a really good support band called cheap meat, check them out.So last night was great. First band were called Eat Me. They were really good to be fair. Not sure how to class them tbh... they had moments that felt pop-punk, but some of the riffs were proper rock stuff and there was even some dual guitar stuff like Thin Lizzy - with some funny lyrics to go along... don't seem to take things too seriously. Good fun.
Black Foxxes - proper rock band these guys. Some lovely guitar work and vocals... drummer was superb lots of lovely little rolls and fills. Highly recommend... but there's not much out there to listen to. Album end of August.
Milk Teeth - put on a great show, got the crowd going (crowd surfing a tiny room with maybe 50 people in it), spot on playing as well. Very cool kinda "new-grunge" stuff... they are listed as punk which I guess fits their up-tempo stuff.

Look up ltnt, they were support in London and they were described as being a bit shouty, they weren't imagine chris cornell fronting queens of the stone age and your on the right path.

Just got tickets for Gary Numan in Portsmouth 24 Sep , always excellent live and got the bonus of a Replicas/TPP/Telekon précis set as well.
Thanks to your post, I got tickets for me, Mrs Champers and our two daughters this morning for The Copper Rooms, Warwick University on 17th September, shortly after they were released for sale at 9 am today; so genuinely, thank you, as I haven't really been keeping my eye out much for concerts this year

WTF?!?!?!!?
I know we're not as young as we used to be, but who the hell wants to sit down at a gig like this?
If I want to sit down I'll go to the bloody Opera!!!!!!
Grrrrrrrrrrrr.......
Well B*****cks to that then, I'll save myself £200 and go diving for a weekend instead - See, promoters, I'm old enough to like these bands, but still fit enough for a bit of mild exercise now and then!!!!!

I just looked at the line up and you're right, it is a bit s
t. I'm going to have to research a few unknown bands and hopefully find a gem or 3.Gassing Station | Music | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
