Big venues

for a band that's released one single or something. I don't care who plays drums for them really. I wonder how much they're trying to charge for tickets?

£20 at brixton

I guess a bit less elsewhere, which isn't too bad, still reasonably pricey though. However they were excellent at glastonbury.

Oh if you're on O2 you can get priority tickets now.

erm

they've released an album have they not?

Yeah, I know

I think you've misunderstood me - I just mean that they've been around for five minutes and have no back catalogue. When I think about the bands I've seen at Brixton - REM, Pixies, Weezer, the Manics - I kind of think this lot should really go and play some smaller venues. Is their set going to be 40 minutes long or what?

You can forget the Bristol gig

as it's at The Worst Venue In The World.
