Forthcoming gigs.


Two recent gigs at the Cluny - Purple Hearts on 7 February and Pastel last Thursday. Decent support for Pastel, band called Rolla.

Next is Ocean Colour Scene at city hall on 4 May. Just noticed Glen Matlock is playing Cluny on 21 May
 
Been persuaded to get Pit Pony tickets at Pop Recs for a few weeks. Had a listen & they remind me of Sprints.

Owa the moon Pastel are playing Monument as I’ve missed the last two Cluny gigs, purely based on inconvenient nights. I’ll give Rolla a listen.

Marseille are worth a try. Got a similar sound.

Gave Rolla a listen. I like them. Sound like sensible support for Pastel. Got that early Verve/Oasis showgazier sounds going on.

They’ll be laughed at by loads on here like, cos they’re treading old ground in terms of sound, but I’d go to see them.

Aye, also saw Pastel at the Cluny 2 in 2023. Went purely because a few mates were going and was one of those gigs you go to more for a night out. Ended up picking up on Afflecks Palace and now Rolla as a result. Some good Manc bands in that scene.

Something else worth mentioning and it's a refreshing change from bands playing Newcastle and arselicking the mags. Pastel's singer said something like "its always great when we play up here even though I can't do the geordie accent but (points to guitarist) he can". Guitarist - "Shearer is a c**t".

Just read your other post mate, saw Marseille at Little Buildings, tiny venue next to the Tanners in 2022. Good as well. One of the lads we were out with for the crack is involved with promoting them. Nothing original in what they play in so much as like you say, it's treading old ground but I like them anyway

When I saw pastel at independent, it was a spirit of spike island tour. Vega Rally played 1st, then Pastel, and headlining were afflecks palace. The headliners were the worst. Boring. Vega Rally was really good. He looked just a bairn, playing guitar over loops and beats,just him on stage. Pastel were best though,even though it was just a few songs. Something about them. Sound like early verve.
 
Just booked tickets for GA-20 at The Cluny in June. A cracking blues trio from Boston, with some really filthy guitar work.
