Maccabees where unbelievable tonight. Been 2 years since they last gig'd an decided to come to liverpool for there 1st one back. One of my favourite bands an made up with that tonight. Played some new material aswell which sounds promising.

John Grant on the Phil tonight, boss, better than those frauds at the Echo arena.

Anyone else see Tamikrest at the Kazimier last night. Brilliant gig

Bit late, but wasnt it just. I even got a mention in a write up about it, though it was not a favourable one! (regarding me, not Tamikrest)

Just secured tickets for Tune-Yards at the Anglican Cathedral next March. Never seen a gig there, and it should be quite something to behold

Saw Low there and it was stunning, not familiar with Tune-Yards, but I know the Cathedral are quite specific on the type of artist not just the music.

Great to hear that. Tune-Yards are a bit esoteric, with loads of loops and tribal beats, though Merrill Garbus is an amazing front woman. It'll be full of hipster-types, I am sure, and one very uncomfortable looking middle aged man.

The Cathedral is a great venue for a gig, yes. Low and Edwyn Collins were both excellent there

Camp and Furnace tomorrow for Enter Shikari, should be good.

Julian Cope was excellent at the Epstein Theatre last week

My annual gig dilemma. I decided to see the Jesus and Mary Chain on Monday, rather than War on Drugs. Horrible choice to make, but I'll keep convincing myself this is the right call.

I saw JAMC in Manchester in November and they were excellent, really good. Fan of both bands but I think you've made a good choice.

Cheers mate. I've had the pleasure of seeing them a few times before, and perhaps nostalgia got the better of me! The idea of seeing Psychocandy played in full was irresistible, I guess. Looking forward to the majesty of 'You Trip Me Up' live. The finest pop song ever, IMHO.

I'm going to see the Jesus and Mary Chain on Monday too, and I'm going to Manchester on Wednesday to see War on Drugs. There are still tickets available for Wednesday as far as I know.

Doh! Never even thought of that option. Looks like I'm working Wednesday, but cheers for the heads up. Most appreciated.

If anyone has a couple of spares for War on Drugs tomorrow i'd love them. Long shot i know but PM me if you have and i'll come straight back, cheers folks.

Veinticinco de Mayo · « **Reply #780 on:** February 15, 2015, 05:05:27 pm »

War on Drugs, Matthew E White and Drenge booked for me at the mo. Going to add BC Camplight and Wire to that list.

Tuneyards or Sleaford Mods that is the question

SamAteTheRedAcid · « **Reply #781 on:** February 15, 2015, 07:14:07 pm »

Going to have to book Matthew E White, missed him last time and love everything he's done.

Will (Mr) · « **Reply #782 on:** February 16, 2015, 08:04:21 am »

Matthew E. White was wonderful last time - can't make him this time

I'd probably have gone to see JAMC today if I didn't already have tickets for War On Drugs when that got announced

Stevie-A · « **Reply #783 on:** February 17, 2015, 07:08:43 am »

Any War on Drugs feedback? Speaking of feedback, the Jesus and Mary Chain were utterly brilliant. The 'warm up' set was cracking (Reverence sounded awesome) Hearing Psychocandy in full, with almost perfect feedback, made me grin like no other gig I've seen in years, maybe with the exception of Katy Perry last year.

Will (Mr) · « **Reply #784 on:** February 17, 2015, 08:40:14 am »

WoD were fantastic last night. Wish I could have been at JAMC as well, mind

gregor · « **Reply #785 on:** February 17, 2015, 09:02:38 am »

Jesus and Mary Chain were boss, can't wait to see War on Drugs tomorrow.

Not a Liverpool gig but just got back from the Music Beats Austerity gig with Billy Bragg in Manchester.
Brilliant reception to "Scousers Never Buy The S*n"
Also a nice few numbers from The Farm

Good night.

Best bar at a venue in town, small but good choice of beers and bottles, and normal prices rather than the £5 for a pint of carlsberg you get at the 02
