Barney 0 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Tune Yards playing tonight, only found out about it yesterday. Sold out. I was at her/their Shepherd's Bush Empire gig on Wednesday night. I'd love to say it was shit but it was bloody fantastic. Sorry. The Staves at The Cluny, Thurs 23 Feb Saw them supporting The Civil Wars last year. They're lurvely. Balls. Sleigh Bells playing here next week, none of my wanker friends will go.

SloopJohn 0 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Very jealous of you seeing Laura Marling, Sammy. Missed her at The Sage by just never bothering opening up those What's On books they send. Aye, looking forward to it, mate. I must be on a few mailing lists these days and you get no end of shit sent through, so I've probably missed a few decent acts myself for not wading through it all, but well pleased I got on this one. Seen Marling live a few times, actually saw her play when she was 16 and even then she was clearly something special, should be a good one that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 14229 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Seeing St. Vincent and tUnE-yArDs later in the month. Really good. Bit schizophrenic though - powerful but cold and calculated for most of the set, then she goes and does a protracted whirling dervish crowd-surfing guitar solo in the encore. Several fans needed medical treatment for a stiletto to the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Paramore second Friday mainstage headliners? lolwut I see they've secured the services of At the Drive-In though, which I suppose is a bit of a coup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Reading/Leeds lineup out. 4 good bands, rest shite. No change there then. Kaiser Chiefs third on the bill? Is it 2005? At The Drive In reunion would be worth seeing though. Edited March 13, 2012 by Happy Face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Reading Festival spunk all their money on getting 3 big name bands (ACDC turned down £5m to play last year) and then the rest of the line up consists of filler bands. Absolute rip off price as well! Aye' date=' looking forward to it, mate. I must be on a few mailing lists these days and you get no end of shit sent through, so I've probably missed a few decent acts myself for not wading through it all, but well pleased I got on this one.[/quote'] Laura Marling is awesome. I saw her years ago when she was first starting out and warming up for the Kooks. Great musician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 12998 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Leeds/Reading is a great place to go if you want to see average rock music surrounded by a bunch of 17 year olds away from home for the first time, acting the cunts. In short, go somewhere chilled out instead. Wouldn't mind seeing The Shins at Leeds like but it's hardly the best place to take in their stuff.

JonGoodwyn 1 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 (edited) Sonisphere festival has been cancelled this year, sounds like there was some drama at the top level with the organisers. It looks like the company behind it, Kili Live - who book quite a lot of UK tours for bands, might be a bit fucked. Shame really, the Sunday looked ace.

Meenzer 14229 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Been offered a ticket to see Shearwater last week. I quite like their latest album. Anyone know if they're any cop live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Kill Live? Don't you mean Kilimanjaro? Not sure about drama - think it was just a money problem. They couldn't sell enough tickets to put on an event of the quality they felt they had to give. Shame, I think there's room in this country for two major rock festivals (Reading/Leeds and Glastonbury are too eclectic to be called rock festivals iyam). I'm not aware of the European Sonispheres being canceled actually, and they're big festivals themselves. The Soni line-up wasn't that bad, albeit one that didn't personally do enough for me (Refused and one or two others aside). They made announcements far too late - Download had already announced most of their big names by the time Soni had started promoting its wares. And with a line-up as impressive as Download's, Soni was always going to struggle. The cynic in me thought it looked a bit desperate that they were booking artists to exclusivity deals and/or full album sets (Mastodon, Glassjaw, Hundred Reasons). Not to mention a lot of people aren't enthused by 'Queen' being fronted by someone who isn't Freddie Mercury and is an American Idol singer.
