i really wanna go to the bronx one at ULU.el bronx :D
Will see you
tonight then..
i'm quite excited about the MO gig
should be pretty intense in a venue as small as the Barfly. Although annoyingly I've just found out my mate is bailing on me for it.
Have you heard
Mean Everything to Nothing?
make sure you know 'shake it out'; will (hopefully) be an epic shout-a-long..
not yet
of the new stuff, I've heard Shake It Out and I've Got Friends plus the two new songs on the EP last year. All very very good.
They supposedly
play half new/half old.
But yeah, even though they're not the biggest band, the barfly is seriously fucking intimate! will be intense.
MO
should be ace tonight, they only played new stuff at sxsw which was a bit annoying, but the likes of 'shout it out' and 'pride' sound huge live.
PM me
If you want the leak; I'm swotting up so I at least know what's going on...
Absolutely psyched for Where Have You Been & Now That You're Home
i've never seen them before
so I hope we get some old stuff. I'd kill to hear Colly Strings tonight.

:D
More bands should post in this thread!
Oh yeh I remembered you guys were touring and playing Leeds
If I dont end up going to the Camden Crawl I'll come see you at RPC, it's right by my house. Who are supports?
its a funny gig where everyone is being a band from Scotland for half their set
think its just small local bands supporting. We're doing The Vaselines in the style of Nirvana in the style of 4 or 5 Magicians.
you're not gonna be playing at cassette
in glasgow cause they've cancelled all their gigs :S
what, really? why? when?
if so this is a freakin joke - this is I think the 4th time we have been booked to play Glasgow and it has fallen through! Sort it out Glasgow!
If this is true
then I am sad...again :(
!
I'll try and get to the clapham gig
I can't place the grey goose at all though. I'll find it.
thats more a kind of party / event than a gig really
its a fundraiser for a friend of a friend who is running the London Marathon for charity. We're basically playing because we'd be sitting in south London doing nothing otherwise, and it's nice to be helping a good cause.
Not sure what the show is gonna be like! Should be fun though playing to a load of bemused friends and family of this girl!
oh, right-o
might leave it then. good work though.
well don't let me put you off - these shows are often the best!
and you'll be contributing to cancer research or the RSPCA or something!
Yeah, cool but I usually end up going to gigs on my own these days
If it was a gig-gig-gigg then it'd be fine. Maybe I can rustle up a friend to come along with me. (I do have friends, honest! It's just none really like 'my' sort of music)
To get all specific
is there much going on of note in London on the weekend of May 22nd? I'm trying to work out some suitable dates to put a gig on and I'd prefer to avoid any big clashes...
May is gonna slay me:
4 May: Lexie Mountain Boys
10 May: Icy Demons (possibly)
12 May: The Mae Shi + Abe Vigoda + Tubelord!
13 May: Mika Miko + Times New Viking
22 May: Marnie Stern
26 May: Cryptacize
All of these are going to be pwn. Am I saying it right? Pwn?
a) what the fuck is 'pwn' besides looking like 'porn' said by someone from the Bronx?
b) is Marnie Stern touring?
answers
a) lol u gt pwn3d
b) yes (although it looks like it's just fitting in a few gigs around festivals) http://www.last.fm/music/Marnie+Stern/+events

26th April - Earth @ Borderline
6th May - Bob Mould @ Islington Academy
9th-11th May - AT -FUCKIN'-P
And I just booked a pair of tickets for Gutter Twins at RFH on 19th July - you need to be coming to that, Vikram!
Stuff I might go to, like.
Zu @ Borderline
Trail of Dead @ Electric Ballroom
Bad Brains @ Shepherd's Bush
Stag & Dagger - if TNV and Cursive both confirm, I'll be all over that.
Only disappointment is I'm gonna have to miss TNV and Mika Miko at Luminaire despite having bought a ticket. If anyone would like it, pm me. Face value or near face value I'm afraid, but you won't have to pay the extra 2 quid booking fee!
Oh, and I need to get a Field Day ticket soon..... And a Supersonic one.
I love life.
Cursive are doing Glasgow, so will probably do London
not a strong enough draw on their own tbh
They need one more band to really reel me in.
There's a few bits I wouldn't mind seeing, but no big hitters for me besides Cursive.
turns out Cursive aren't on the lineup for London yet either.
i will be coming to gutter twins
but it was too far ahead to be in my Spring Edition :D
Did you get tickets?
£7.50 if you're a concession! Amazing scenes. Right near the front too.
seriously?
amazing, I was expecting more like £20! Off out now but I'll book as soon as I get back.
