Accidentally, Allo Darlin' are my most seen live band.
I saw them tonight at The Cargo. Next month I'll see them at The Lexington as part of Fortuna Pop's four nighter there. I must have seen them 15-20 times overall. They're prolific tourers and entry is usually around £10. I like them but they're nowhere my favourite band despite being my most seen. Which are your most seen accidental bands?

Reckon I've seen Maximo Park about... 20-ish times over the years?
Only actually deliberately gone to see them perhaps three times.
Bombay Bicycle Club and Metronomy
7 or 8 times each? I think I've only specifically paid once for either of them. 'Comfort food' kinda festival bands.
maybe saw that PENS band a few dozen times
somebody in london really wanted them to be successful
Probably We Are the Physics - seen them intentionally once, four times supporting.
Or maybe a local band like Kartta or Carson Wells in Aberdeen.
The Maccabees
maybe 6 or 7 times, of those twice intentionally.
Manic Street Preachers
At various festivals in the early to mid-90s. They've never been one of my favourite bands but always good value live, especially at Reading 92.
Clinic
3 times. Hated them with a passion every single time.
Once for me, supporting Doves
with John Cooper Clarke in the middle. What a line-up. Clinic were ace.
It was Biffy Clyro.
Never once bought anything of theirs, never listened to anything but two tracks on the first album by choice and yet must have seen them live about 20 times. Luckily not at any point in the last 5 or 6 years, mind.
Rolo Tomassi, clocking in at 11 times.
I have a mate who's seen them 50-odd times but he's a nutter.
There was a period of time in the early 00s
Where Feeder seemed to be supporting every band I saw. It pissed me off royally, as I couldn't bloody stand them.
Electric Six
...a bunch of times whilst doing merch for a friend's band who were touring with them.
