Artist presale, 4 tickets sorted, £31, that’s my kinda price.
Going to Gogol Bordello in Nottingham Saturday, notice they're doing Newcastle NX Thu night. Hate labels but gypsy punk does sort of describe them perfectly. Do a great Angelic Upstarts cover, Solidarity, dedicating it to Ukrainians fighting for their lands.

Make sure that you get there early enough to see Peat & Diesel. I’m guessing that it will be at Rock City and a 10pm curfew.
TMTCH on at 7.45 apparently.

It may have been mentioned but this seems not to be widely publicised. Paul Smith the night after too.As it happens, I've had a mate drop out of The Futureheads, so feel free to DM if anyone's interested.

I see Scorpions are doing a one and only UK show at Wembley Arena @mickb2112. Bit of a shame, I mighta been tempted if they were playing up here.

It`s been 17 years since their last proper tour. A one-off in London is a very poor show for a band that proclaims to love the UK. I`ve seen them a few times and each time the place was rammed so there`s no excuse saying there`s no demand. I`m quite tempted to go though. Might be the last chance.

I was tempted but i don't know if i rang to go all the way to Newcastle when Sunderland has so many great venues.Played my own gig this evening, then I'm out for the next three nights at gigs: The Darkness on Thursday, Tom A Smith on Friday then The Futureheads on Saturday.

Thing is they like to charge top dollar. I recall the last time I saw them at the Academy it was £40 when the average was £16/17. Maybe they think they might not sell enough on a tour without reducing prices!

£40 17 years ago was a flippin' fortune. I`m hearing that the front block at Wembley is £150.Thing is they like to charge top dollar. I recall the last time I saw them at the Academy it was £40 when the average was £16/17. Maybe they think they might not sell enough on a tour without reducing prices!
I saw them with Uli Roth and Michael Schenker where they did mid set Tokyo Tapes and Lovedrive sets. Don`t think they can ever top that.

It was. But i recall it as the only drum solo i've ever enjoyed, when the whole band joined in!

To be honest the only drum solo I`ve enjoyed is Neil Peart - probably the only one where no one goes to the bog.
