Was thinking about getting a Saturday ticket, and then realised that I'd be paying £25 just to see Gang of Four.

It all sounds good on paper, but with the times and distance between the venues you're effectively paying through the nose to see 3 gigs that would usually cost £8 (and day tickets get priority entry over weekend tickets too). 2007 was alright when they sold individual tickets for shows, but that seems to have gone to the wind because they can make more money this way.

went to see la roux the other night.. she was pretty shit. Made this massive cock up and had to stop half way through a song. I think she only played about six songs and they all sounded exactly the same. id still fuck her every direction though

seeing the maccabees next week. should be good, their new tune is awesome

Brontide (ex i was a cub scout) and pulled apart by horses at live at leeds. both are brilliant bands. Brontide are worth a listen for anyone into Battles.

Was a pretty good gig, however most people there only piped up when they sang hanging around and mr jones and so the atmosphere wasn't the best. Adam Duritz certainly has stage present however and you can tell his songs really mean somehting to him. And no they didn't play that song from Shrek 2.

Just been to Ghostface @ Bristol: pile of wank. Very mixed crowd (there by default as a Saturday night?) and the lazy bugger only did an hour of dipping into his back catalogue. As soon as he started a song he cut if for another… crap.

Well, Meth was dope when I saw him the other month… missed out on gza though. Guess their attitudes vary. Roots and Nas have been the best performers in that venue from recent memory/experience.
