    Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes last night. They were ok. My daughter loved them, but I was more of a fan of the two support bands. Hot Wax and The Mysterines. Lia Metcalf the singer in the Mysterines is properly stunning. Think they supported Arctic Monkeys in the summer.
    Love The Mysterines ... great band

    Going to see Marty Wilde at Blackheath Halls on April 27th, quite possibly the last gig on home turf for the Blackheath boy...

    My dad saw him with Jo Brown a few years ago, said he was brilliant.

    Went to see Hannah Wicklund last night. I was well impressed. Only discovered her a couple of weeks ago, and only because the opener was a local band I wanted to see. Bluesy, rocky, sometimes a bit country ( but not too much ). I’d definitely go to see her play again. 

    Busy week for gigging. Saw Lily Hiatt on Wednesday, but she really was a bit too generic. Really good support from Molly Martin, who had a Blink 182 feel to her songs. 

    Mary Timoney tonight. I only know her from ExHex, so this will be all new.

    Laura Jane Grace tonight, excellent show, mostly her solo stuff, but a few Against Me songs thrown in. Added bonus - less than 5 minute walk from my house to the venue, but $13 for a beer is a bit high, even for Boston. 

    Next up, Nita Strauss on Tuesday.

    We had the IDLES (that's how you write it apparently) over here in Barcelona a week ago. I mainly went as some friends came over from the UK so I just went along for the ride, but I wa utterly blown away. Two hours of absolute power - a hug performance t watch and hear. My major regret was not listening to a few tracks before the show as I generally find gigs are easier when I have some familiarity with the set list, but this lot were wild, and I'll be making a bee line to see them next time the come over,
    Absolutely top notch. 

    Now I have a break until Rammstein show up in june. There are some bands I'd really like to see around then as well, but Pearl Jam were asking a starting price of 140 euros  (which some of the touting agencies have now doubled) which as far as I'm concerned is too much for two hours entertainment. The Idles cost 40 - cheap and very good value. I can get over 20 months of Spotify for the price of a Pearl Jam ticket.

    Quite a step up from the studio sound to the stage performance. Amazing show.

    Idles are the best live British band right now. New album is an evolution in sound also.

    I couldn’t have been further from the stage but nevertheless it was a great show last night at the Royal Albert Hall with Squeeze, The Who and of course @DaveMehmet for the obligatory drink and chat.

    Saw Tommy Scott of Space at "The Slaughtered Lamb" last night doing an acoustic set. Absolutely outstanding and wow what a voice he still has. Really nice bloke too. Best £21 I have spent for a while!

    Stranglers at the Royal Albert Hall tonight, with @Afternoon Delight. No support but two sets from them instead. Lots of bangers and some to suit the hard core, a really good mix.

    Great evening, not quite sure the venue matches the sound but certainly didn't spoil it. Been 3-4 times for various things now, it's an astounding building, and not just for the access to toilets and bars.

    OMD were fantastic at The Brighton Dome tonight. Great mix of old and new. They never disappoint.

    I've seen them a few times over the years, first time about 44 years ago at The YMCA, Tottenham Court Road. Was just the 2 of them then, plus Martin Cooper on sax (he didn't play keyboards at that time) and a reel to reel tape recorder. They had so few songs that the encore was a repeat of a couple of earlier numbers. Last night sounded just as fresh as back in the day. Loved it

    Delores died over 6 years ago, seems scarcely believable

    Thought I'd join the OMD love in, though not been too any of the current shows (not a big fan of larger venues) here's a couple of shots I took from the first time I saw them at Hammersmith November 1980.

    Think Winston might still have been with them on stage at this time.  Seen them many times over the years probably my favourite was in 2013 at  the Roundhouse when they were supported by my music hero John Foxx (and the Maths).

    Great pictures , i was at the Roundhouse with john Foxx , Also see Foxx at the Garage a couple of years later , such a small Venue for a Artist like him , i was at the bar watching and each time the Bass Synth kicked in bottles and glasses Started to vibrate and move all over the place.

    I was at that one too. Just after the second album had been released and Enola Gay got them really well known.  I think you're right and Winston was still about, but they had a drummer too.
