Forthcoming gigs.

Found something I wrote from a few years ago at End Of The Road:

EOTR is a lovely, chilled, friendly affair though the music covers a very broad spectrum with opening act, Joe & The Shit Boys, a 'bisexual, vegan punk band from the Faroe Islands', setting the tone with their 30 second songs all seeming to be about 'people who piss me the fuck off'.

Sorry, don't think they are in the video, it was just for whoever I was writing to.

Cheers, looks a canny festival, like a mini womad.
Line up this year looks decent as well.

Joe and the shit boys are just up our street, double bubble with Bob Vylan on the bill and Iggy doing a greatest hits set it’ll be a good evening

I sometimes wish SLF would just stick to the old classics but in hindsight it's nice that they mix it up a bit..last 3 or 4 years they've opened with 'Suspect Device' and the place went mental..they should stick to that..they've got enough good material to close the show in style.

I don't go to these gigs but they're on every year somewhere aren't they ?
I went to the comeback gigs in the 80s !
Surely the can chuck a few tracks in
My mate loves the later albums more
If you remotely followed them in the day I couldn't grumble at any song .

I first saw SLF in 1981..the first two albums are fantastic then it's a bit hit and miss..I'd be happy if every gig was full of those two albums but i appreciate they've got to mix it up a bit..it just tends to go a bit flat when they play the later stuff..they've been playing the City Hall for the last few years..nearly always the day before St Patricks Day..they then play the Barrowlands in Glasgow on St Paddys day.

I loved that stuff
I love all the stuff you do from that era or maybe loved
I just couldn't keep going year after year listening to the same 40 odd year old songs
It must kill the band doing it night after night .
 
Anyone else at The Tubs? (Zerox, NCL)

Just close this thread, they were absolutely brilliant. Funny, just rolled through the set and made it really fun.

Great vibe, mint - check them out!

I often think I'll give it a miss but when I'm there and they're blasting Suspect Device out I'm like a pig in shit..I'll be back next year..🔥🧷🔥

Juanita Stein @ The Cluny. Nice, intimate gig - only about 20 or so, people in attendance. The Cluny itself was absolutely dead.

Only one mention of Sunday from the band 🙄, think she took the hint when no-one cheered.

Wish I'd gone to that, watched her support Evan Dando a few months ago at the Riverside and she was really good.

Durham Brass Festival have announced Barry Hyde (14/7), Bill Ryder-Jones (15/7) and LYR (18/7) are playing with local brass bands. A fantastic line up.

Thought they were both very reasonable prices there, BRJ £27 & Barry Hyde only £19.50. Doesn't look like there'll be much bother shifting tickets either looking at what it's like after only a few hours on sale.

Have a look on the dates mate, tickets say 7th but I’ve just had an email saying it’s actually the 3rd. Not a massive change but might catch some out.

I thought Barry Hyde maybe a little cheaper. It doesn't sound like a very technically complicated show.

I don't think I've listened to them before, but see there's a recent KEXP session on YouTube, so will check that out. Gig clashes with Autechre though so I'm unable to go.
