Who wants to come to gigs with me?

Jan 14, 2012 19:05

So I've finally given into Spotify. I thought I'd try it and have discovered that it actually does loads of stuff that is really useful for me, it's just that Mr bigr0d uses it in a very different way to the way I do. So now that I'm finally entering the age of digital music properly (about 10 years late, ah well) and it has awesome add ins like a last. ( Read more... )

Well I have tickets to the first too. Placebo is out for me due to Whitby, sadly.

I will be at the ATP thing, probably for two out of the three days

Not likely to be at many of the others, but Adam certainly will be!

Yay for ATP :)

Good list:

- Mastodon/DEP: I too have too many plans that day, which is a bummer. As both bands are awesome live.
- PWEI: I'd forgotten about that. Plan is to intend (it is also Thursday, rather than Friday - which is good as Rammstein is the Friday, and our party Saturday!)
- Electric Wizard: I've seen them before, and they were immense. So I really should get it together for this.
- Desertfest: going to pass on this one (never did like KtB or CoC particularly)
- Skindred/Therapy?: already have my ticket for this.
- Placebo: saw them about twelve times in the 90s, but also at Whitby...
- ATP: Certainly going to all of this if I can still get a ticket at the end of the month...

Thanks for your comments. Am checking dates now, according to this site, the PWEI is the Friday:

Right, I have now got tickets for:
PWEI, Electric Wizard, Skindred and ATP.

Let me know if you decide to go to Electric Wizard so I don't have to deal with the beardy stoners on my own.

I think the screened comment below (not sure why it's screened, but have not replied accordingly) may sort out the date confusion.

Yeah,sorry - I thought PWEI was Feb rather than the March date it actually is.

EW - will do. It's likely I will attend that, I think, but I'll need to confirm my diary at some point...

I think nearly_everyone is doing the Therapy/Skindred gig because it's only £5.

purplegril January 15 2012, 17:39:30 UTC

Good call. Ticket duly bought.

Top work, because they really are both ACE live. It doesn't matter if you don't know Skindred's music at all; the energy at the gigs is so huge and infectious that you get right into it anyway, and actually I've found the recordings to fall a bit flat by comparison.

purplegril January 16 2012, 22:17:02 UTC

I've seen Therapy? And I know Skindred have a great live reputation, it's also extra cheap. Nothing to lose.

Pity you don't live here now I've found a doom/stoner fest to go to. Let me know of you decide youto visit for it ;)

I'm annoyed it only just occurred to me that you now actually live in the right country for Roadburn, which of course sold out in 7 minutes last November. Maybe next year?
