🗣 Gigs

At the Joiners currently. Just seen Natives from the New Forest area. Really enjoyed their set. Next up is Mothxr.

That’s a great line up. Steve Mason, Suuns, Karen Gwyer, Jessy Lanza…that’s great value.

Had to wait over an hour between Natives and Mothxr last night due to technical issues re sound check. During that time 2 lads decided to dance wildly about whilst banging into pretty much everyone. Lord they had pointy elbows. Didn’t mind them dancing and having a good time but did seem to be doing it on purpose as there was plenty of room to dance without touching anyone else.

I really enjoyed Mothxr. Not sure what genre you’d put them under but seen Indie as one label. The lead singer was in a fairly big US teen show and some films so there were lots of young women there. One of whom did not move at all to the music and stared at the lead singer all night in a slightly creepy stalker way. He came out to the front of the bar to do the meet and greet at the end and there was a little queue of young women eagerly awaiting their selfie with the Hollywood star.

I’d definitely download the album and would see them again. Hopefully they’ll get a bit more recognition for the music.

Sweet Johnny Nomates has just bought a single ticket to see one of his fave bands “Sweet Billy Pilgim” in Guildford on 3rd December…

One of the bands I crusade for as a musical evangelist.

Excited about getting that missing ‘y’ now.

The The were excellent?

Were they supporting?

The Pedantic Twats.

If you get a chance to see them, do.

You’ll find them playing at The Mirror most mornings.

Nor sure if you’re on the piss or taking the piss, Ted.

Two important facts.

Nobody saw The The.

The RaleighBoy is a cunt.

Thanks for clearing that up mate :laughing: I was concerned that Halo was sober :innocent:

Hmmm…Kristin Hersh in bandit country…very tempting as long as your car doesn’t sport any tell-tale stickers. https://www.musicglue.com/the-wedgewood-rooms/events/7-nov-16-kristin-hersh-the-wedgewood-rooms/

Off to see The Xcerts and Ben Marwood at The Joiners on the 16th.

Regular viewers will know about my love of Marwood’s weirdness, and the fact that he had given up on music (illness and lack of success) but is now doing the odd gig.

Only problem is that it clashes with the Burnley match*, but I should be able to make the prematch drinks as long as they are within staggering distance of St Mary’s Street.

November takes me to Will Varley in Portsmouth and London. Can’t wait…to get off my tits and let him write on my shirt** again.

*and, no, Big Stupid Bob, I didn’t intend to actually go to the match anyway before you point that out.

**not a euphemism.

Not “that shirt” and blazer ensemble you wore to the game the other week?

:lou_wink:

No Cobber, it was an expensive Tommy Hilfiger shirt (a gift) in rusts, reds and blacks. No blazer that day. Just a tie and cravat.

The guy wrote on my shirt, man.

He wrote on my shirt.

That shirt really tied my look together.
