Not a lot yet but the definites are:
Smoke Fairies

Arcade Fire + Pixies
where's the national?
i really miss them. for the last 8 months i've listened to them about 3 times more than everything else put together.
Old Man Gloom just confirmed a show with Circle at The Scala on 3rd April
http://www.odysseybooking.com/bands.php?bandsID=65
First ever European tour. Which is clearly excellent news.
oh that IS exciting
great venue too
Just trying to fill up my diary with gigs ...
... but it's slim pickings living in Reading. Just Laetitia Sadler at South Street in the diary at the moment.
Have largely given up with London gigs unless it's something I really want to see. Missed too many headliners having to get the last train from Dalston or Hackney to get back to Paddington in time. So just Teeth of the Sea & Evil Blizzard this w/e and Bill Callahan next month in the diary at the moment.
Further afield I've got Bob Log III in Guildford (not until May), Wave Pics in Brighton, and will probably try and go do Fat White Family in Oxford next month too.
Anything else fun that Reading people want to recommend that's close-ish?
isn't there still a late train back from Paddington?
used to be a couple around 1-2am...
there's one at 3 something
but it takes an hour and if you've got work the next morning it's not really the nicest thing :/
The train service from Paddington to Reading
is actually extremely good. Unfortunately Paddington is on the wrong wide of London for where the vast majority of quality gigs happen. To get out of Dalston (for example) to arrive in to Reading at 1 (home at half 1) I need to leave Dalston at 11. If I leave Dalston at half 11 it's home at 3am. Not very rock n roll, but I usually choose to miss 30 mins of a headliner to get 2 hours more sleep before alarm at 7am.
It's why I choose to go to more gigs around the M25 - eg. Guildford, St Albans than in London.
not much so far
Max Richter
Kylesa
Polica
St Vincent
War on Drugs (though this one's not till May..)
I moved to Lancaster in Septemer so needless to say, very few :(
These New Puritans at the Barbican, mid-April
Primavera Sound (first time I've been able to go back in four years!)
Need to make friends with people in Manchester as I want to go to Parquet Courts in Feb but last train back is like 10pm. Seriously annoying.
Malkmus and the Jicks at the Brudenell next Monday
Cate le Bon at the Brudenell
Bill Callahan at Leeds Irish Centre
St. Vincent at Manchester Cathedral
Of Montreal at Manchester Gorilla
2014 looking great so far!
Hardly anything lined up...
February
Motorhead @ Brixton Acadmey
BRMC @ Electric Ballroom (which I now can't go to)
March
65daysofstatic @ Koko
April
Tim Hecker/Merzbow @ Oval Space
These New Puritans @ Barbican
That's it. Although seeing ^upthread that Forest Swords is touring, might score tickets for his St Lukes date.
Trying not to go to too many this year
Saving up for Primavera/another potential holiday/moving to Glasgow so it's taking a bit of a backseat compared to the last two years. This thread is making me sad at that, so many good gigs I didn't even know about.
