Gig Plans - 2022

[TCEvo]

Stick To Your Guns w/ support from Landmarks, Scowl & another band (can't remember their name) at Islington Academy last night. £25 ticket very decent value for three excellent sets.

Not keen on that venue. Despite crowd jumping about it's always bloody freezing cold, and the beer choice was ste - £6.65 for a pint of Carlsberg.

Probably my last gig of 2022 unless something crops up last minute.

Tombstone Dunnery,Islington this month

[Grrbang]

Hyped to see Porcupine Tree tomorrow - I never got to see them before the hiatus.

[Teddy Lop]

Annoying, booked Therapy? for Southend as they're not coming to London next month, and now Dominic Frisby has his gig that same night.

Just had Belle & Sebastian in Southampton cancelled.

I've requested a refund as it had already moved from earlier this year.

So, just Echobelly tonight and Skinny Lister on 23rd left for 2022.

Couple of pics from the Trivium gig at the Aztec Theatre in San Antonio, Texas. They were excellent live and Miss Badger even said she enjoyed it!

Got Placebo at Brixton in a couple of weeks.

Just back from Biffy Clyro with The Architects as support at the O2 arena.

Biffy as always were superb, top showmen and music as always.

The Architects a bit heavy for me but great performers live and thumping music!!

Earache records 'Ackney do 2nd Dec,last year with dub war,scarsun was excellent

[DodgyGeezer]

Just saw Within Temptation & Evanescence last night - very good indeed, though, IMO, WT were better

second last gig of the year last night- Jamie T at the academy in glasgow. was a very good gig. him and band sounded great, and nice touch getting hugo white (produced his last album, was also in the support band and the maccabees) for the last 2 songs.

next stop volbeat just before xmas!

[DodgyGeezer]

I'm seeing Therapy? in a couple of weeks when they play a venue very local to me. Should be a great night, most decent bands are a 45+ minute car journey away for me as public transport stops too early.

Tomorrow I'll be at Symposium's (currently) one-off comeback in Islington, an even longer drive but to see "the best live band in Britain" - and they really were brilliant back in the day - after so long away was unmissable. I might be a bit excited right now.

For those that weren't around, when they appeared on Top of The Pops back in '97 their singer went crowd surfing and they incited a stage invasion!

Yeah I was quite a fan of theirs at the time and lived on the edge of London so caught a few of their gigs. Saw them with Biffy Clyro in summer 2002, long before BC were filling arenas! I have tickets for their tour with Hundred Reasons that's been postponed til next year too.

I also once saw Ross' band, Paper Cuts. I was a bit less impressed by them...

Saw Samantha Fish in Brighton last Tuesday, first gig I've been to in ages. Good venue, Chalk, just off the seafront near the East pier, and the beer was £5.60 a pint, which was nice.

What could possibly have attracted you to this hot blonde rock guitarist!?

Immediately acquainting myself with her back catalogue on Apple Music!

ETA: I see she's playing Shepherd's Bush Empire tonight. If I wasn't already on a three gig week I'd have gone along, I like what I hear .... a kind of Seasick Steve bluesy guitar, but considerably easier on the eye!

Took the wife and daughter to that gig, thought she was fantastic!

Snipped Photos

Nightwish? you mean Within Temptation.

Saw them both at Brum Tuesday night. Big fan of both bands but hadn't seen Evanescence since about 2005/6. Amy Lee's voice is still top top, and their drummer, Will Hunt can certainly hit. Thought they were great.

WT, as ever were really good although a little disappointed with the sound mix as the guitars weren't nearly as heavy as they should be.

WT finished the show at Brum, I think it was the other way round for London. Interesting to note quite a few left after Ev, not so many that it was noticeable in the hall though.

I did indeed mean Within Temptation ... for some reason I always conflate the two (I'll amend that now thanks!!). You were correct that Ev finished in London (interestingly I did see people start to leave about 1/2way through the set - maybe the fact it was a school night was the reason?
