Forthcoming gigs.


I went to see De La Soul early 00's,and they were poor.Their 1st couple of albums were so creative,but when I went to see them,they seemed to have fell into the hip hop cliche category. All a bit misogynistic, bringing lasses on stage and gyrating next to them.It was sad,cos I still think 3 feet high,is one of the best hip hop albums ever.
Cheers for that, can't wait for the gig now!

Tbh, it's more a tick box thing for us, I know they'll play loads of stuff that I've never heard and don't care for, but it's localish and as long as they play a couple of tracks from 3 feet high and I'll be happy.

This was nigh on 20 years ago.They might have had a middle aged epiphany, and now decide to go back to their early style.I find a lot of bands do that.Would be great if they did the full 3 feet high album.A lot of bands do that now
 
@Crayola-Kid I got my tickets switched. They don’t refund the booking fee though the stingy gits so I’ve had to pay an extra £2!
I'm outraged on your behalf there. More than $2.50 that! That's like half a coffee. Glad you got it sorted

Yeah, I think that was intentional - wasn't the album either after 3 ft High or a couple after called De La Soul is Dead? I remember reading at the time that it was an intentional move away from Daisy Age stuff so they were saying that part of the band was over. Agree with you - bad move!!

Saw stormzy last night and another gig where the singer decided to put on a Newcastle shirt and I had 10 minutes of toon toon chants

I know he has gone a bit batshit,but Ian Brown,whenever I saw him in Newcastle,Whitley bay etc.used to always make a point of mentioning Sunderland.Always got a cheer from the many Mackems attending.Dunno if there was some connection there
 
Looks like my mate has decided to get married the Saturday I'm seeing Pavement, the bastard.
I remember once my mate got married and I was due to see Morrissey that night in Hartlepool which I was massively looking forward to. However, worse than that Sunderland played Chelsea at the exact time of his wedding. So I missed the 4-1 victory and probably the best performance of my lifetime. Sacrifices you have to make for your mates.

He was a friend of Mensi and the Upstarts I think, roadied for them for a spell.
 
Anyone going to SLF at Newcastle City Hall this Friday? Been a while since I've seen them and looking forward to it.

Oh and by the way, anyone recommend a good pub near the City Hall? Something that has decent beer ideally.
