Gigs gigs gigs

[Rich]

Last minute ticket to The Gaslight Anthem nabbed, and Bloc Party last night was excellent!

[Jimmy]

Seeing Paws and Big Deal tonight in a free gig and I'm really excited. Especially to see the lead singer from Big Deal (who also used to be the lead singer of Pull in Emergency) 'cos she's so hot. Seriously. I'm gonna marry her. I'm in love.

[Jimmy]

The gig last night was awesome and I'd seriously encourage you all to go see either band if you get a chance.

[GA!]

Biffy Clyro are doing an arena tour in March/April. So fucking there!

[Rich]

I know right?!

[GA!]

They're playing Sheffield Arena on a weekend, so I don't have to book time off either! :w00t:

[Rich]

I may go see them in Sheffield and in Birmingham

[GA!]

I know! Let's go see them together in Sheffield! :w00t: :w00t:

[Rich]

Yay!

Got to see Less Than Jake and Reel Big Fish (with Flatfoot 56) on Saturday night. Great show!

Flatfoot 56 had a lot of energy and were fun on stage...their drummer was such a nerdy guy, it was cool. Even cooler when he stage dived into the crowd....although he did accidentally kick me in the face.

Reel Big Fish was everything I was hoping they would be and more.

Less Than Jake was pretty good, and the crowd almost knocked over the barricade/speakers.

Seen Slash, Bloc Party and The Gaslight Anthem over the last few weeks, all pretty awesome in their own way, Bloc Party probably being the roughest suprisingly. Jack White~ next month

[GA!]

Just got a standing ticket for Biffy at Sheffield. I swear the booking/postage charges are more expensive than the tickets themselves.

Got tickets to see Cloud Nothings and then Scroobius Pip in the next two months. Can't wait to see Pip again, the guy's just quality.

Ooh, where you going?

[Jimmy]

Cloud Nothings at the Underbelly at Scroob at The Garage, both in London.

[K]

Ah cool. I'll be at the Garage as well, come say hello.

It's gonna be weird watching a poetry gig in a venue that I associate with filthy metal bands, but I reckon it'll be good.

I also grabbed a ticket to his performance at the Royal Albert Hall (Small print: it's in a side bar in the building not the actual hall) so I'm looking forward to that too.

[Jimmy]

Oh sweet, will do man.

Is he going to do his actual spoken word stuff? Or is it going to be a gig with music backing, like the whole of Introdiction? I saw him do the latter at Reading and it was incredible. But I'd be very excited if it was straight up poetry.

[K]

The plan is that it will be entirely spoken word/poetry, no backing band, no DJ. However he will cover tracks from all four albums (No Commercial Breaks, Angles, Logic of Chance and Distraction Pieces) and probably some bonus stuff as well. It's gonna be good. He hasn't done a full spoken word set in a while so I'm looking forward to it.

Supports are Kate Tempest and Polar Bear. Both longtime Scroob collaborators, don't know if you're familiar with them. Very cool stuff.

But yeah, come say hello I'll get you a beer in.

[Jimmy]

Ah, that sounds awesome. It's gonna be an early Christmas treat! And I plan to check out all the support acts in the the next 6 weeks and get to know 'em.

And now I'll definitely come and say hello!
