We have a ground hopping thread so why not gig hopping as a lot us seem to go to gigs
Went to see Mogwai last night as you may know and am off to Belle and Sabastian on Feb 10th at Hammersmith Appollo and Stereolab on 14 April at koko with more to follow I hope. Has anyone been to that new venue in Kilburn opposite the National I hear it's great. I'm a bit of a venue ticker as well....

Went to see Belle&Sebastian last night at the Ritz in Manchester,another new venue to mark down on my list

saw the Arctic Monkeys and Maximo Park last night....well.to be more accurate...caught the last four numbers form Arctic Monkeys and the first four from Maximo Park...not a big fan of Maximo but i though they blew the monkeys off the stage....
Newcastle Academy , by the way

I was at Belle & Sebastian too on sunday. Thoroughly enjoyed myself despite the problems they were having getting a keyboard to do its stuff.

What a small world.

Top night!

Simple Minds next at Manchester Academy on Friday

New B&S album dropped through my letter box this morning. Very good as always as I'm sat here listening while typing.

yeah, they are getting more cheerful with every album, don't you think so?

went to the gig yesterday (despite being poorly and ODing on Sudafed and paracetamol) and it was brill. My first gig at the Apollo in Hammersmith and what a gorgeous venue it is!

They opened with The State I'm in and finished with Sleep the Clock around and played quite a lot of stuff from the new album

My live favourite will always be Judy and the Dream of Horses, though...they did a 10-minute version of it last time I saw them in Hamburg two years ago and I didn't get off my cloud of happiness for a week after that

I went to see Sunn O)) and Earth at the Islington Academy on Friday and it was the least enjoyable musical experience of my life. Lots of people passing out and vomiting

Loved it

Went to watch Editors at Manchester Academy last night. Bloody marvellous. Tom Smith has a much more powerful voice than I could ever have imagined and surprised me with how expressive and lively on stage he was. Two new songs as a bonus, one of which 'Bones' was rather good!

Top show.

Highlights: 'Munich' and 'Fingers in the factory'. A triumphant finale!

Kowalski: Blood runs through your veins, that's where our similarity ends

not quite a gig...but i went to see a wrestling show on saturday night...i didn't pay for it....hilarious stuff...some former WWF guy called Honky Tonk Man and a guy called Joe Legend...plus a few others..i only actually saw about 30 mins and then went back to the bar but it was very entertaining indeed and i wished i'd got there earlier

Went to see the Delays last week while visiting Derry. Got to the Nerve Centre to pick tickets up to find it had been cancelled as the singer had a sore throat

Look out for a St Pauli t-shirt at Fun Lovin Criminals, Carling Academy, Newcastle on Sunday.

Just say hello

Les

Going to see The Automatic at Central station Wrexham tonight. Lucky Wrexham have a home game today as it's an early gig,finishing at 9.30.
Heard good and bad things about them but being as they're playing local I thought I'd give them a go!

I shall be taking in the mighty Secret Machines this Sunday at Manchester Academy 2 (formerly the MDH).

Will they blow all the other kids away?

Hmmmm. Floydian
