Hard-Fi, Goldie Lookin Chain (pictured) and The Bravery bolster the ranks, which means that the confirmed London-only gigs look a little like this:

12 @ Koko, Camden: The Paddingtons, Dogs
13 @ Hammersmith Palais: Hard-Fi, Boy Kill Boy, Duels

Blah Blah but..

I know it seems to be a topic on repeat at times. But why is so much in music centred around London. The NME is especially guilty about it, but it's not limited to them. Why does it seem right and proper to have yes, an NME tour around the country, but such a higher number of shows in the capital than population ratio would suggest is logical. Is it just a way of saying "Oh, you have to live in London to be a REAL music fan." and it's just pissing me off now.

Am WELL...

...gonna try it make it to the 21st too, purely for Â¡Forward, Russia! Though I agree it's a disgrace that it is so London-based...

If I can't get any mates to go with, I'm gonna have to try make it down on my own :(

with the exception of elbow...

...what a load of old shite

agibbons | 14 Dec '05, 13:02 | X | Reply

lol, I don't massively mind them...

but am going for Forward Russia and Duke Spirit, cos' they're both incredible live bands. I'll assume you were being sarcastic when you said Elbow are a load of old shite, as your profile says you give 'em 9/10.
