Biffy Clyro

17 times now...


Very hard to say

but I saw Kaito over twenty times and must be well into the thirties with The Fall.


I too have seen Kait0 loads of times

British Sea Power, The Fiery Furnaces and ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead are probably the ones I've seen the most times. No idea on numbers.


Napoleon IIIrd - 20+

Applicants - 20+
Open Mouths same
We toured together though


muse

i think.


New Rhodes

probably 20-30 times


Puressence

7 times I think


snow patrol & arab strap

both 13 times, and never again.

mogwai 8 times
low 6 times


Reuben - 1 or 2 dozen times (not sure)

also (approximate figures)
hundred reasons x10
frank turner x7
SFA x4
coldplay x4


Biffy Clyro

23


misty's big adventure

about eight times i think


good choice

i think i'm up to about 5.


hmm

i think it was disco inferno, who i saw about 17 times. urusei yatsura about 15 times, and mogwai similar too.

then more recently, i reckon 15 to 20 times for air formation and televise.


Ryan Adams

7 times


YOU FUCKING

DUDE!! YOU SAW DISCO INFERNO "ABOUT 17 TIMES"????? I I AM SO IMMENSELY JEALOUS. FUCK ME. WOW. (never saw them once but would have loved to.)


Franz Ferdinand x4

I don't even like them that much. Well, I used to...


Bizarrely enough

I think it's Slayer.


you win


look above

DI GO POP!!!!!!!!


bf

Brian Wilson- maybe four or five times

After that- The Seeds- three times, Love (when Arthur Lee was still alive) twice


idlewild and seafood

i must have seen each of them about 8 times

underworld are pretty high up there too?
as are arab strap and magoo


Low

6 times.
Hesitating to go see them aagin in May...


go!

you'll be :( otherwise


they have been less and less good.

From magical to just very good...


The Bluetones

9 times and counting!


The Bluetones

15 or so I think! Oh, and um *cough*Reef*cough* about 9 times.


Mine is The Bluetones

as well. Them, and Chumbawamba and, slightly weirdly, the Subways. Hmmm.


don't try and cough over Reef

we were listening to Replenish in the car last night and it's still fucking awesome. I only saw them live once, it was my 2nd ever gig, they were supoprted by travis and i got scared by the moshing down the front.


I was always front row

great live bands. I can hear Naked starting up now!


The Maccabees

10 times exactly! Ace! There's some knobbin' annoying Brighton band who must fill every big local support slots going as I'v seen them about 5 times too.


its either the

Fall or the Furries. About 8 or 9 times each.


interpol, fiery furnaces

and unfortunately franz ferdinand, who had a habit of supporting EVERYONE a few years ago. i've seen the long blondes a million times as well.


oh and of course

the amazing monkey swallows the universe.


I've seen Forward Russia...

...30 odd times.

After that it's probably My Chemical Romance *ahem* at 10 times...


Mogwai - 13

Super Furry Animals - 8


hmm

razorlight - 23 times (first album period only i must add)

the cribs - 8 times

Forward Russia - 12 times


Ditto

Although I've totally lost count. I've seen SFA more times than Mogwai though.


hundred reasons

12 times
and the long blondes too many times to remember, but thats what you get being in shef for 3 years.


.

you do run the risk of overdoing it dont ya. I think in 2003/2004 i saw snow patrol about 5 times.

Pompey Pyramids
IOW Festival 04
V2004
Southampton Guidhall
IOW Festival 05

and that was in the space of 1 year. I really dont need to see them again.


...

I've seen the Icarus Line at least once on every tour they have done in the UK, so probably in double figures including festivals.

Also:
Dead Meadow 6
Comets on Fire 5


I'm guessing

that I've seen the Dangerfields somewhere between 80 and 100 times.

Plus I played about 70-80 gigs for them.


I think I have seen..

ELLE MILANO 11 times.


Poor you.

:(


probably..

both Capdown and Lightyear, 6 times each.


The Bluetones

About seven or eight times I think.


Meet Me In St Louis

I'm not sure how many times, maybe 10?
And The Maple State about 4 or 5 times, as well as Motion City Soundtrack.


Mogwai and biffy clyro

both 12 times now


Ryan

Adams 8 times


Idlewild or Snow Patrol both about 20+

having seen both in tiny venues i still find it very strange seeing them filling such big venues/stadiums


Bright Eyes

times six


The Bluetones 9 times

Ugly Duckling 8
Stereophonics 6 ( were always supporting whoever i went to see)
Doves 6


Fionn Regan x6

and no intention of stopping.

Bruce Springsteen x4.
My uncle's seen him over *50* times, think you could say he's obsessed.


-

oceansize - 10 times
spiritualized - 10 times

it's neck and neck but I sure won't be going to see spiritualized again


The zutons

3 times. all by accident (they were supporting better bands)


yeah the zutons

seemed to support every band i went to see for a period of 6 months or so. never really saw the good in them, and then they went big time. it's a strange world


Biffy 32

It's slightly embarrassing.

thisGIRL also made it well into double figures.


i miss

thisGIRL :(


PS

looking at your cat picture i believe you might have clipboarded me or something at one of the shows once!


That is entirely possible.

But kind of scary.


sorry

im not a crazy strange person i just have a photographic-like memory for faces.


i'm

shit with names though.


Mystery Jets.

I've lost count. probably between 5 and 10.

I've seen Jeremy Warmsley & Jamie T quite a lot too. And Ash - when I was younger they seemed to support everyone I went to see and play every festival.

Fucking Ash.


The Fall

Double figures with the first number not quite a '2'.


MANSUN

eight times

i was a proper fan


Probably 80's Matchbox

about 7 times


Foo Fighters x5

Spoon x 4
Marion x 4
The Cure x 3
Low x 3
Placebo x 3

God, I'm so softcore


reuben 12 or 13 times

hawkwind 8
not sure about any others


Hawkwind 10/10


metric x 5

scarecrow has seen bloc party 11 times, which I think is quite frankly incredible.


Miss

Black America or the Dawn Parade and their numerous incesterous splinter groups. Both once brilliant.

That's what you get for growing up in Cambridge.


.

Helen And The Horns
Glassglue


Ride

I lost count after 20


I'm very very

jealous.


Rose Kemp

I've lost count how many times. could quite easily be over 100. (she doesn't drive so I usually drive her to her gigs)

probably seen SJ Esau and Caroline Martin about 30 times each.


Wonderful

i;d love to see Caroline Martin.


MV + EE 4 times i think

3 of those were in the same week.

i tend not to be fussed about seeing the same bands again and again unless i really fucking love them, because shows cost too much fucking money.


ok I worked it out

I've seen Rose Kemp play 112 times.

do I win something?


Other than local bands

I have accidentally ended up seeing Keane 3 times and Razorlight 4...for the purposes of journalism, I hasten to add, not pleasure. Other than that, I think I've seen my boyfriend's band in excess of 40 times, not including front room gigs.


other than local bands

i dont think ive seen any band more than twice


David Ford 6 or 7 times

and would go again, easily.


Tool x 4

Bluetones x 3

Christ, I've never sat down and thought that stat out.

I need to sort that shit out.

million dead - 8 times

but public relations exercise may have over taken


i miss

this band too.


Camera Obscura

every gig they played for the first 5 years, however many that was.


er, for me

Mogwai and The Buff Medways. Both, lots of times.


devotion

the sugargliders, in melbourne, 1990-1994, and their successors the steinbecks. probably saw almost every gig the sugargliders did in melbourne. great times


Giant Drag

and very time was at a support slot. Excpet for once at Leeds Fest


Muse...

5 times
Idlewild must be around 5 now.
Goldrush about 10 or so


Possibly Jarcrew

they went through a phase of seemingly supporting at every gig in Cardiff.

I saw Mclusky a load of times as well.

So yeh, either them or another local act like Gindrinker or Sweet Baboo.


something out of the following

seafood
jetplane landing (i saw them 11 times touring one album across a year)
the dawn parade / the visions
