Another trip down the Victoria line to Brixton Academy. Another Charlatans gig. Quite a few songs from teh last two albums but then a lot of their older greats. Canāt believe itās 27 years since the first album. Burgess doesnāt seem to age.
Off to see Will Varley at The 1865 tonight with a mate. Really looking forward to it.
Off to London on Friday to see him again (Will Varley not the mate!).
A couple of beers first though I think.
Just bought a ticket to see Field Music on March 10th at The Engine Rooms. Flying in from Barbados that morningā¦hope I wonāt be too travel fatigued by the drive from the airport.
Seeing Kendrick Lamar next week. Canāt wait. Dude is so cool that he even rocks a U2 cameo. Imo, one of the most important artists on the planet right now.
Heads up.
Bucket list
We are meant to be going to Paris on Friday to see the Killers on Saturday. Warm thoughts to smelt that snow.
Got a ticket for the Stones at Olympic Stadium for the 22nd May - looking forward to it massively, theyāre always great!
So snow doesnāt seem to be an issue on getting to Paris but the Killers have cancelled tonightās gig due to vocal box issues. Will we ever see them in Parisā¦
Stones at Twickers
just a small matter of getting to Gatwick by 4am next morning whilst twatted and in charge of three pieces of luggage and the Ayatollah
We now also have tickets for the Stones at Olympic Stadium on Fri 25th May. Bit pricey!
Another superb Killers gig.
Recommend the Zenith venue in Paris. Our hotel is a 10 minute walk from it. Think we may do a few more citybreak/gigs in the future.
About 15 years ago a local pub put on a concert which attracted about 100 people.
It was The Christians. They were as good unplugged as their album (s).
They are in town tonight. I am going.
Canāt wait
Goosebumps & lost voice already ffs
He sounds just the same
Any of you fuckers chaperone an old chap for the Field Music gig at The Engine Rooms. tonight?
Look for a silver-haired gent walflower nursing a pint of Creme de Methe Frappe and wearing a Sotonian badge.
Did my first ever solo gig a few months ago. Despite all my fears, no one really seemed to care or give a fuck I was there on my own. I bopped away at the back having a pleasant time. Sad as it sounds, I was proud of that little milestone.
Anyway, back to my āGig-Junkieā best next week. Fever Ray & Young Fathers (separate gigs) at the Roundhouse. Then Hookworms on my bday.
Laaaarvely.
Belated, but this was bloody amazing. Even if the o2 is the biggest pile of wank ever.
Iām used to it @krg_ ā¦most of my mates have never heard of most of my favouritesā¦theyāre still insisting thereās no good music made after 1975.
Iāll be doing it plenty in the future Iām sure. Better that than miss out on gigs Iād otherwise really enjoy.
Anyone else waitied until The Stones came a bit nearer before getting tickets?
Iām looking forward to a trip to SMS to watch a bunch of over-the-hill millionaires being paid ridiculous sums of money on the account of past glories, before they inevitably move onto the next payday at another stadium, without a second thought for those left behind to clear up the mess.
Itāll make a nice change.
