Worth it just for the monkeys!
If they're anything like they were on Saturday (and you can bank that they will be) you're in for a treat!

Already got my tickets for the arena tour in Nov, and I'm well excited.

Saw them on the NME new music tour at the beginning (when, on the night of the show, they were promoted above a wazzed off Maximo Park on the strength of 'Dancefloor's success), then again at Blackpool's Winter Gardens on the strength of their 2nd album if I remember rightly.

Humbug is forgettable, but the new album is great and, if reviews are to be believed, they're back on top form for the live shows.

Bit disappointed that the Vaccines have been chosen for support, but there's always the bar...

That Hurricane fest is some line up though.

Only if it was an 80's theme night...

Just ordered for MEN. Not a big fan of the place but we had Ticketmaster vouchers we'd won

so it seemed good use of them. As for The Vaccines - I didn't like the album at all at first but I have to admit it's grown on me and I'm quite looking forward to seeing them. On the plus side for you, they only play about half an hour

Struggled for a while for tickets this morning eventually got them for Newcastle.
It will be the third time I've seen them, after Saturday and in 2007 after FWN was released. Saturday was the best gig I've ever been too so I'm hoping for more fireworks on November 5th. (See what I did there?)
As for the Vaccines, they have some decent songs but they are awful live! I'd much prefer a smaller band like Mabel Love, who supported on Saturday and were very good, to get the chance.

Ah all you need to do is sign up for their mail list and you get advanced sales on their tickets, a touts tip for you

I wondered how people already had them. How do I sign up?

Slipknot's back baby!

RIP Clarence Clemons. Time to slap Jungleland on and listen to the greatest sax solo bar non, ever.

Just on their website.

They were brilliant. It was kinda rubbish, as I couldn't get right to the front, as it was too full, so was right at the front of the second section. I was right on the barrier for Arcade Fire, which was ace.
I saw Monkeys at their Sheffield show on June 10, but I knew they wouldn't play Mardy Bum/Certain Romance again. They were fantastic in Sheffield, but I don't think I'll go to the Arena tour. £37 is too much unfortunately, plus I've heard the 02 is a crap venue, plus I'm not too big on arenas for gigs.

I'm not really too keen on Metal, like a bit of it. I'm more into the 90s Alternative stuff - like Pumpkins, Weezer, Pavement, Beck, Pearl Jam etc. Which is kind of disappointing, as I grew up in the 90s, so kinda missed out on it first time round. I do like indie as well from the early/mid 2000s, but think it's gone all stale now.

This evening has, by accident, been mostly about Alexisonfire. Watch Out remains one of my favourite albums ever, particularly when you have songs like Get Fighted and Happiness by the Kilowatt.

Is it wrong that I like the new Gaga song, the one with the camp drums and saxophone solo?

There's plenty there that any "metal" fan would enjoy mate, just can't get Pavement though.

Not over here either, I know I'm not the only ska and northern soul fan on here either.


Still listening to up-and-coming Leigh band Jerrimiah Ferrari. Check them out BG



Hoping to have new albums by New Town Kings and The Skints waiting for me when I get home this weekend. Result.

Bon Iver's new record.... OH MY.

You forgot the "it's e"

I had [iGuns of Navarone[/i blasting out at 7am this morning whilst dancing around the ironing board pressing a shirt.



Give it some on that trombone Rico.

Good call Mr Zebra sir!

Still blowing that trombone like you wouldn't believe....

I'm now trying to find time to get to the Dirty Broken Tyrannosaurus tour somewhere. Not a big fan of Tyrannosaurus Alan, but Broken Nose and (especially) Dirty Revolution definately get my vote.

Hoping to get to The Maze in Nottingham for it as they have Anti-Vigilante on the line up too, should be a cracking night out!

Thankyou Mr Scooter sir!



I was in a fairly exuberant mood so followed it up with -:
[iLongshot Kick de Bucket[/i and [iSkinhead Moonstomp.[/i



Had to calm down a bit after that so went for a random Costello mix -:
[iSattelite.[/i
[iAny Kings Shilling.[/i
[iMan Out of Time.[/i
[iShipbuilding.[/i
[iThe Only Flame in Town.[/i (Great sax action - Clarence Clemons would have been proud).
[iAlison.[/i

I always find 'Pump It Up' to be quite an uplifting song. Revisited it earlier this week on the jukebox of my 'local'.

Definitely got a decent back catalogue mate.

I preferred him at his most political in the 80's, around about [iSpike.[/i

Did anyone go to the KOL concert at Lancashire Cricket Ground last sunday?
