Hot upcoming gigs

Me and my friends reckon it's our favourite gig venue in Manchester after Soup Kitchen. To be fair I'm not that discerning when it comes to sound quality

 

Rolling Stones up next. Ticket sales must be going well...

Yeah - wish I'd held off! Spent an hour on hold today with "AXS Ticketing" as my ticket hadn't shown up...

Do they all 'go missing' in the post, or what... anyway - they've now emailed one to me.

They're going for £50 now..

 

The The
Orbital
DJ Yoda......

Boom!

 

Chilly Gonzales is playing RNCM in September.

Also Leeds and London gigs.

You should go, even if you don't know what the fuck I'm on about. Thank me later.

Edit: my review from a couple of years back

 

I was underwhelmed... by the Rolling Stones gig. Sound was pretty shite, set-list was slightly annoying. Yes - they should have played more 'purple patch' stuff. Why did Keith Richards sing two songs? Was I just in a bad mood..

On the other hand Liam Gallagher did a good support set.

 

Courtney Barnett moved to the Albert Hall, not sure how I feel about that

 

Just got tickets for The Ex in Brighton in a couple of weeks. Never seen them before. Not been to any gig in yonks so looking forward to it....

 

I'm pleased about that, I think. I really like AH whereas I'm distinctly meh about Academy. I feel like it probably fits the gig better too but I've never seen her live so can't be sure. Interested in the reasoning though - surely it's smaller?

 

Also killer b are you going to Chilly?

 

I'll check my diary. I'm keen.

 

Lovely Eggs were tip top. Support act Mr Ben & The Bens were pretty good too and lovely people to boot...

 

Fine gig, sound a bit muffled tho where I was (by the bar downstairs)

 

Aye, was a bit muddy I thought (upstairs centre) especially for the support band, but I don't know that I would have noticed as much had I not been primed.

 

Binker and Moses Band playing Band on Wall in July, also seeing Insecure Men and Khruangbin in October.

 

Sorry about that.

(it makes me cross though. it's such a gorgeous room, and I would like to enjoy concerts there)

 

I have a similar issue with all the Trof venues (apart from the Deaf Institute, that's usually OK). I occasionally I'll let myself be beguiled by an enticing lineup, but have been let down by the sound more times than not.

 

Well The The looked on form in the RAH last few nights.

can't wait now

 

Rolling Stones last night thought they were great really enjoyed it

 

Nick Masons ‘saucerful Of secrets’ in September.

Evil Blizzard in November.

The Breeders in July &
Need to buy Trembling Bells tickets & Zion Train soon.

 

Damian Marley at Brixton Academy this Sunday. Got very high expectations.

 

The lineup for this free festival in Ramsgate in August is fab - i'd totally be going if I wasn't away on holiday...
Extra Normal: Contra Pop: Home

 

hmmm, only just got the alert...shame missed it, but thanks for the tag. will bare future ones in mind, but would appreciate a gentle reminder

 

dunno why I only just got the alert, a few weeks later....

 

I'm going to see Damian Marley at the Ritz in Manchester tonight, should be great!

 

Report after please. I can't remember him ever playing near me, I'm sure I'd have seen him before.

Really looking forward to it, Stony Hill is better than Welcome To Jamrock as an album, I reckon.

 

The Ritz is a great venue, great acoustics.

 

I really like it as a venue, I saw Chronixx there last year. The sprung dancefloor was well bouncy

 

Last saw Skids there and it was a great night out

 

December 15 Johnny Moped, Snivelling Shits and Armitage Shanks. Uk garage punk extravaganza.
