Gigs gigs gigs

[GA!]

Not really one for gigs anymore, but CKY are touring the UK in May so I need to tick them off the list.

[GA!]

Also I was tempted to see Muse at Leeds Festival again this year, but every other band I'm interested in has been placed on a different day to them.

Twin Atlantic and New Found Glory both booked!

Reading & Leeds announcement is weird, I have no idea looking at it who's positioned where other than the headliners, You Me At Six since they tweeted that they're headlining NME stage, and the Dance stage acts from Fri/Sat since Andy C accidentally leaked them. Could make a few guesses but YMAS on NME already threw me a curveball, thought they'd be on Main.

That said, the Reading Friday looks best to me so far, I think there are currently only three acts on the Sunday I'd go and watch

Sum 41 were one of the best live performances I've ever seen. Hollerado were decent as support too, will have to check them out more.

Kaiser Chiefs tomorrow! How I wish they hadn't lost the spark in recent years. Ah well, I'll just get pissed and enjoy the hits.

Got tickets to see Coheed play the first Good Apollo album in Amsterdam so that should be awesome.

I've got tickets to see Melt Banana at the end of May...in a venue we've played a few times. 120 people at most can squeeze in. Very very excited.

Saw a great acoustic show with Dan from Alkaline Trio and Matt Pryor from The Get Up Kids last night.  Perfect show for a Sunday night, knew Dan would be fantastic, but I hadn't heard any of Pryor's work and came away a fan.  Love it when that happens.

Just bought tickets for Mallory Knox, supported by Lonely The Brave and Fatherson, at Tramshed. Saw the latter two at the same venue with @Jericode in October. I went mainly for Lonely the Brave and only caught the last song by Fatherson but it sounded good; since then I've listened to them and like them.

Listened to a few songs by Mallory Knox on Spotify - I knew I'd heard them before, often, on Radio 1 but couldn't place the song to the band - and they sounded decent so thought fuck it!

I wish I bought tickets for Frank Carter & the Rattlesnakes too now, but sold out :/

No matter how hard I try I just can't bring myself to like Mallory Knox, else I would have gone to that. I listened to Fatherson's latest album after that gig and thought it was decent.

[Cymbols]

Fatherson are good live, and Mallory too, for that matter.

Seen Mallory Knox live twice, still wasn't impressed. I don't know what it is, I just have no interest in them.

[New Damage]

Mallory Knox are the least I'm jazzed about, and I've only heard a few songs on shuffle and sounded decent enough.

I too have listened to both Fatherson albums and really liked them, so am a little gutted I missed them first time. They did seem to be having a lot of fun in that last song I saw!

I saw Mallory Knox at Slam Dunk in 2013, they were decent. Not listened to anything they've put out since they released Ghost in the Mirror though.

On gig-related news, I will possibly be going to my first non-friends-band gig since 2013 in May. @Jericode, @Cymbols are you going to Slam Dunk in Birmingham?

Yes!

[Cymbols]

I could/might. Still not decided. 

[Kyle]

Cool. I shall possibly see you both there.

Announcement next week should hopefully have the stage splits, can find a gap somewhere to say hello.

[Cymbols]

Next week is make or break for me in terms of whether I go or not. Because there's barely enough there I like, so if there's clashes, fuck that probably.
