Swap deal for Cher Lloyd @metalman?

[METALMAN]

Sure. She's be a great fit on Scottish Spotify. Right now it's just all Bay City Rollers and Jimmy Shand.

Speaking of which, I bet this is crazier than any gig you people have ever been to:

Coheed playing the first Good Apollo album in Amsterdam was quite possibly my favourite gig of all time. 

The venue (Melkweg) is great too, if you're ever in Amsterdam and a band you're interested in is playing it do check it out.

Seeing Green Day live tomorrow. Won't lie, I'm pretty hyped.

[Matticus]

@Jericode I went too, mostly for The Hives and Rancid. Left half way through Green Day as I find their shtick grating

Meant to comment on the show days ago but I was completely out of it until Tuesday.

Given that I knew absolutely nothing about Stiff Little Fingers, The Damned and Rancid beforehand except that their careers are all older than I am, I thought all of them were pretty decent. The Hives disappointed me, something seemed off with their sound and given that I don't think they've had any new material since I last saw them in 2012 it seemed a bit played out. Gogol Bordello was a nice surprise, really liked them.

Green Day killed it in my opinion, excellent set, and other than BJA having an obsession with screaming ENGLAND! at every opportunityand dragging out King for a Day for what felt like forever, I thought they were awesome all round.

I've got nothing now until Y Not Festival, which seems ages away. Really looking forward to checking out a new festival though.

Got my ticket to see the Killers in November. Prefer Brandon Flowers' solo stuff, but looking forward all the same.

Oh I went to see a 16 piece Jazz Orchestera cover the entirety of the Notorious BIG's Ready to Die the other day. It was fuckin dope.

The Damned, Stiff Lityle Fingers, and Gogol Bordello. Thats fucking nice. 

I've seen Gogol Bordello twice, and they are really fucking good live.

I've never seen a band look like they're having as much fun as Gogol Bordello do.

I keep having to remind myself that the time I saw Gogol Bordello perform with Madonna was a real thing and not a fever dream.

[VerbalPuke]

I thought the same the first time I saw them. They get a great party atmosphere in smaller venues, and everybody had a blast. You can also sense that the band members have a blast playing together. 

Reading the occasional facebook update from them seems to indicate they love touring. They tour a lot, and go everywhere.

Y Not Festival tomorrow, pre-gig excitement is back 

Really need to find some stuff lower down the bill to investigate though, after 4 each day I'm good but I don't think I know anyone who's on earlier than that.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

New Found Glory can still fucking bring it, guys.

Also Y Not was shit, screw my previous post.

[VerbalPuke]

Gogol Bordello tomorrow night, it will be my third time seeing them. 

Even more exciting is Unsane coming in December. I have been waiting to see them for years.

I was supposed to be seeing Bon Iver tomorrow, but I no longer can and couldn’t sell them or anything and I am very sad. 

[VerbalPuke]

Gogol was last night, it was alright. 

I don't first two times I saw them I loved it. This was, not quite the same. Maybe it was the crowd, Detroit seemed way more rowdy than I remember Vegas crowds being. Maybe I'm just too old but people bumping into me, getting hair in my face, etc etc just drove me nuts. The Vegas shows had a more fun vibe where he fans here were just more obnoxious. I don't think they intended to be, they were having a good time. I'm just a grouchy old man these days I think. Their setlist wasn't quite as good as it normally is either.

On a fun note, my wife and I saw the lead singer walking around town and wanted to say hello. He was ahead of us on the street, went into a cafe and sat down to eat. We figured it best to just leave him alone to eat in peace. 

It was a good night all in all, but I didn't enjoy myself as much as I did before. The crowd was really into them though so I'm sure it was just me.

Astroid Boys album launch show tonight. Not been this excited about new music from Wales in a long time.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

That was honestly one of the best gigs I've been to. So hyped for the album.

[Cymbols]

Got my tickets to see As It Is. Second time I'm supposed to have seen them, so fingers crossed this one actually works out.
