Fire in the Disco!Wasn't sure if we had a thread covering music and the like, so thought i'd get the ball rolling.
So, anyone heard anything good recently ?
I've been listening to excellent 'Beirut' - If you have a few extra pennies, try downloading 'Nantes' . Its the work Zach Condon; a kind of one-man-gypsy-folk-troubadour. Sounds naff, i know, but try it....

Not so much 'new' but Richard Hawley Lady Bridge is absolutely brilliant.
New band around Manchester at the moment that are pretty much going to be signed any time are Twisted Wheel, their demo is really good.

I'm fiiiinally getting to see Morrissey on Friday, yay.
After that my next 'gig' should be Plump DJs and Adam Freeland at Fabric in London, both breakbeat-y/electronic goodness.

Heard plenty about them. Not had the chance to see them live yet... but it's just time. Everyone's getting giddy about The Courteeners at the minute. Album soon. Gideon Conn... look out for him.
Going seeing British Sea Power on Sunday. Should be good.

Lemon Jelly are good. Check 'em out, eh.

Ive seen Gideon Conn a few times at a night called Corporation Pop, interesting fella! His tunes are good though.
Courteeners are pretty good, although i cant help thinking they are on the arse end of the whole Libertines thing.....

Is that the Stalyvegas do?
Sorry mate, didn't look at your profile.
We had Gideon Conn play before the match at one of the events at FC. We've also had Little Engine (got a full page write-up in the MEN last week), Optional Wallace, The Witches, International One, LA Palsand Hedz Jelmo - if you know any of them?

I haven't heard of any of these people. But I'm looking forward to the lastest albums from OneRepublic and Lupe Fiasco

I actually liked some of Lupe's early stuff but he seems to have lost his way.

No way! Superstar alone is better (imo) than the whole of Food & Liquor! I wasn't much a fan of that album.

It was at the Witchwood in Ashton under Lyne!!
Ive heard of Little Engine but not seen them yet, havent heard of the other bands but i'll check them out, thanks!
There is a good night lined up at MoHo Live on Friday in the Northern Qtr, Twisted Wheel are headlining with support from Keith who are really good!

I would have fancied that... but I'm helping out with a drama group that the club's involved with. Shame, MoHo Live's at the bottom of my street (literally).
We've got the The Naughtys (Stretford lads) playing before the match on Saturday if you know them? Then we're going watching Gideon at Urbis afterwards as well. Should be a good do...
I take it you're from Portsmouth originally?

Going to see the Eels in Feb, cant wait.
Just got Serj Tankian tickets yesterday for April, bit different, but fun all the same.

Duncan!

Could have seen Velvet Revolver tonight, but declined.
Have been listening to a lot of Iced Earth lately

Well... After 4 below par songs from Morrissey, he decided to walk off stage citing an ongoing illness. Annoying, but he had admittedly said he wasn't well and was struggling to keep his voice up. The gig will apparently be rescheduled.
More annoying was someone's decision to send Russell Brand skipping on stage, laughing, to break the news. Followed by Jonathan Ross also laughing at the paying customers who are actually there for more than PR, then attempting to sing Last of the Famous International Playboys. Tossers.
The guy who isn't Matt Lucas in Little Britain also turned up, but thankfully stayed quiet.

And to rub more salt in the wounds, Plump DJs have cancelled at Fabric. I may be forced to go see Stanton Warriors (more breakbeat/breaks) next week now, though that would mean missing Scunthorpe away with Charlton. Oh noes!
