The Last Days Of Gig - go!

by Patricide
Yes the year's nearly cutting and running out on us - the supermarkets have bulk bought christmas puddings and mince pies. So what gigs are you going to before it all ends. Oh and what were the best of this year (festival appearances if you must)

I have not bothered until now to go to anything much - I skipped on a second outing to see Clor - was too late for a few others - didn't feel like fighting over Bloc Party tickets and was probably too lazy for anything else. Plus I didn't go to a festival.

Going to:

The Fall (provisionally) - 2nd Oct
Go! Team - 9th Oct
Art Brut - 3rd Oct or 29th of this month
The White Stripes - November - not sure of date.

I'll probably go to some others now my gig buddy is about.

might go to nastyfest in leeds on nov 5

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

Sufjan Stevens
Deus
Caribou
FORWARD RUSSIA

The above would bring me out the house because of curiosity or in the case of FR - love.

Alot of the stuff here I haven't heard like Slideshow Players, Ymss, Four Tet (I have the alb floating about) I also have Diamond Nights alb. I listened to Deus seven weeks(?) and thought they sounded good.

Wouldn't mind seeing Dungen and Oceansize either.

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

nastyfest? i like the sound of that. whatever it is...

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

thats not actually nasty. rubbish.

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

Enjoy MC Lars for me... ;)

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

I don't think MC Lars is that bad, but bowling for soup... yikes!

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

I wasn't actually joking... i like MC Lars

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

Haha

No, I knew you weren't joking James. Sort of.

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

I'd love to see the Lars like.
I contemplated going to a Fightstar gig, just to see him.

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

Yeah, mrs thewarn is a fan, plus it's not often you get even reasonably renowned bands performing in the borough! (no, I don't mean the brough).

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

Definitely Sufjan and Tweedy.

Then I sort of have to decide between White Stripes, Mountain Goats, Mark Kozelek, British Sea Power and anything else that potentially turns up, cos I certainly can't afford them all.

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

might try and see brigade next week.

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

Fall 1st Oct in manc
Art Brut 3rd - probably, cos my mates are supporting them
Also white stripes, also don't know date but it's in blackpool

so i guess our paths may cross at one of them

also seeing Sufjan in london whenever that is. which reminds me....

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

Get WRECKed on the 3rd of October innit.

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

Okkervil River - next week
Alexisonfire - Brighton in October
Brakes/Chris TT - Tunbridge Wells in Oct
Decemberists - ULU in Nov

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

Okkervil's alb is great but I wonder if they'd be good live.

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

Oceansize 26th Sept
Engineers 11th Oct
65dos/YMSS 16th Oct
Four Tet/EITS 28th Oct

The Gunpowder plot - Bristol ubergig 5th Nov, lots of bands on the bill.

There are more, but these are the only ones that spring to mind.

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

Ive got some Okkervil bootlegs and they sound pretty damn good, plus it's at the Water Rats and should be rammed. I've been looking forward to it for ages so I bloody hope they're good!

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

I'm gonna go to this but haven't got a ticket yet. Hoping it doesn't sell out.

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

well if i can get some people to accompany me

65dos / YMSS - newcastle
The Locust - leeds
Melt Banana - stockton
Explosions in the sky/four tet - newcastle

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

and possibly

Capricorns / Baroness
Cave In

it all depends on where they go

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

Louis at barfly
research at barfly
smash at barfly
london beach and the samiam - buffolo bar
jim bob at islington academy
Neds at Forum
Dustins at garage (maybe)
smash - water rats
wir sind helden - garage

and all the others that have yet to be announced...

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

Who the hell are the samiam? Aside from a bunch of rip off merchants. I presume it's not the real Samiam as they're all but split up. Cheeky.

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

Nah, think I might have mis-spelt. Some indie band playing at the buffalo bar. Same-I-am I think it may be pronounced. God knows what they're like, it's a friendship thing.

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

Um, if I can remember rightly...

The John Peel day thingy
65 dos + YMSS
The Fall
Arab Strap

Plus more unannounced!

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

Possibly, depending on money:

Animal Collective
TV On The Radio
Breeders (ticket wangling-attempt in progress)

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

arctic monkeys
i am kloot
rufus wainwright
the decemberists
the duke spirit...

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

I should be going to all these:
Brendan Benson
Brakes/Chris-TT/Seal Cub Clubbing Club (<Best. Name. Ever)
alexisonfire (maybe, not really my thing)
Franz Ferdinand/Editors/The Rakes

Should have been going to Art Brut at the cartoon but it's my mums birthday and I have to go out for a fucking family meal or something. ARGHHH

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

art brut at cartoon would be shit. May have to go though. When is it?

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

October 6th, I don't like them that much but it would be nice to see a real gig at that place, think it might be sold out though, check ticketweb, they were selling tickets.

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

Oh and I might go to see Medications as well.

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

Why anyone would actually pay good quid bucks to go see Animal Collective live is totally beyond me.

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

At the very least, I'll be at:

65DOS + YMSS
Four Tet + EITS
Minus The Bear
British Sea Power
The Locust
Franz Ferdinand

I was also thinking of going to Sigur Ros (not sure, since I already saw them this year) and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Les Savy Fav announce a UK show...

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

NME Riot Tour - October 16th
Franz Ferdinand - November 26th

I'm probably gonna buy some eBay tickets for Arctic Monkeys and White Stripes too.

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!

Fourtet/ Explosions in the Sky
Sufjan Stevens
Final Fantasy
65daysofstatic/ YMSS
The National
The Decemberists

Re: The Last Days Of Gig - go!
