Off to see Obie Trice tonight at the grove in Newcastle, anyone know if the car park is a decent size?

It's tiny, but I don't think there's any problem parking on the street.

NB The entrance (to the venue and carpark) is from Albion Row, opposite the Two x Two Brewery tap, not on St Michaels.
 
I went to see Feeder last night in Birmingham for the Comfort in Sound tour, they were class and I was slightly surprised to see Grant is 57.

Everyone Says Hi were on as well who were decent, Nick Hodgson from Kaiser Chiefs is the front man and the band includes members from other notable bands such as Pete Denton (The Kooks), Ben Gordon (The Dead 60s), Glenn Moule (Howling Bells), and Tom Dawson.

Sheffield yesterday for In The Know festival, no band clashes and cheap as chips this one as i bought tickets early (£20!) when M60 were announced.

Very similar line up to the day festivals in Stockton, indeed a few I saw a few weeks ago!
4pm started with The Slates (saw 2 weeks ago), great again but was v short set!
Revivalry were next up, 3 young kids but make a good racket, saw them at Kendall this year, really took over the smaller stage here,
M60 then were one of highlights of the day (and prob biggest crowd despite being on middle of show), i really think they got good chance of making it - proper good indie guitar tunes (4th time seen them now :cool:, also saw them at Kendall),
Tom A Smith then on main stage, not seen him for a few years tbh, but hes grown up:lol:,almost mick jagger esq,liked his newer songs - Fashion he ended with was really good,
The Cases were on smaller stage, but was packed with kids in venue for some reason, then my daughter (no) tells me theyve had a viral song on tik tok apparently:rolleyes:, another one saw a few weeks back in Stockton, good promising indie band,
Pentire id not seen before, but loads had raved about them, they were decent but nothing special imo,
The Publics, another one id not seen before, had a big crowd on the second stage, liked these really got the crowd going a bit heavier more rock indie guitar sound,
The Crooks, id listened to on Spotify, very Oasis sound a like, and were same on stage, wasnt that impressed tbh but they did also have technical problems,
Always one band that you dont know at these things you end up loving, The Assist, heard nothing about them but were brilliant, frontman really loving it and they were great to watch and bounce to!
Another band had pulled out so Rolla moved to main stage, and wow, id heard they were good but wow again! Think Kasabian without keyboards, just dancey indie guitar angry frontman band, really enjoyed these
Trampolene were last band up but ill be honest the rums and red stripes had took hold of me and daughter was hungry so we left before they came on for food and taxi

Another brilliant day out, UNBELIEVABLE value to see all these bands - i really struggle in bigger venues now tbh

Next gig: rearranged Ks gig at Sunderland, then cant wait for Babyshambles

I love going to the festivals like that, but there's often a mix of people i know and i don't, heard of pretty much none of them except tom a smith.. Lauren laverne played his latest on her show recently and it's a quality little track aye

Scott Lavene and Nev Clay at the Old Cinema Laundrette in Gilesgate next for me.

Its a great venue with a capacity of only 50 ish. If you live in Durham and haven't been, get yourself there sometime. I think a lot of people don't know it exists.

I have no affiliation to the laundrette other than appreciating its value as a local amenity by the way.

For those who like a pre-show drink, about 50 yards away.

PINS @ ThinkTank?

Still the same old wannabe dive bar, absolutely minging pints, but the band was good.

Busy night in Newcastle/Gateshead last night - OCS at The Sage, Sleeper at The NX, The Kooks at The Arena (who knew they were so popular?) and the one I was at, Kelly Moran at The Arts Centre.

I hate saying it, but it makes a bit of a mockery of the 'Sunderland is a Music City' slogan doesn't it.
