Forthcoming gigs.


I've got Depeche Mode tribute band 'The Devout' at Newcastle University this Friday
Seen them a few times before and they are very good at what they do.
Set is usually around 2 hours 40 minutes, with all the old classics included
Forgot about this booked the blues brothers at firestation
They on in whitby in feb so may have a dodge down
 
Went to Jamiroquai at the Co-Op arena on sat.

Band we're very good, although they seemed intent on making 4-5 min songs twice as long. Gig lasted 2hr30 ish but could have been less without the fill.
Arena itself is very impressive but it's a ballache to get to and from.
Drink prices are an absolute pisstake and you're queing for ages, probably up there with some of the highest I've come across in the country for a gig.
We're off to the Co-Op in April to see James. Are the acoustics good? I'm not a massive fan of arenas

Thankfully our hotel is only a 20 minute walk away
 
Caribou were great tonight, might actually be favourite gig this year. Every time I'm there I always come away wishing the Glasshouse had an extra few hundred capacity in the main room because it's by far the best gig venue in the area.
 
Good fun gig with Madness last night at the Utilita Arena with Squeeze in support. A LOT of hits played all night.
Enjoyed it but I I felt Madness were a bit 'perfunctory'! Hit after hit but missing something, cant quite put my finger on it.. Sound wasn't great either. Squeeze always top notch.

Madness should of packed in a while ago saw them twice at academy they were great then saw them years ago at Arena and they were shite then so never been back.
Squeeze are always good and seeing them next year.
Mind Difford and Tilbrook have hated each other for years!
