Anyone know if 'The Music' are still together?

Thought they were very much underrated andnever really got the same credit as more moderate acts such as Kasabian and Razorlight.

'Freedom Fighters' and 'Take the long road and walk it' are awesome tunes.

[herbergeehh]

Danko Jones, brilliant!! Good trash talk is always fun, and his badass attitude was underbuilt by an energetic performance. "Lovercall" - great song. John Garcia stepped in to play four or five songs aswell, including a song by his former band Kyuss. Good night!

As is Welcome To The North, a song that really should be played at Ewood whenever poncy southern sides come calling.

They are still together.

Calibre - Deranged EP

Saw the Cynics Friday night, great stuff! Also, JR Ewing had their final concert ever last night, decent experience altogether. But the Cynics really impressed me, will try to download a few cd's.. anyone heard these people?

[AxesFirstTouch]

I guess that's not a bad ratio.

Anyway, Peel loved Bolt Thrower so he was fine in my book.

mother (Please don't use that word again)er! I meant one good song every show

Danko jones has the stage presense of Elvis, hes like the Speedo ( RFTC ) of the 2000's

hmmmm? I don`t think they`re as good as they could be.

(did you see what i did there?)

[adopted scouser]

Problem: I listen to 'The Fall' and my daughter plays 'The Sims' all the time.

Can we find common ground ?

[Radagast]

I saw Lordi last night. Good stupid fun with a lot of fireworks and elaborate props. And the music's not bad either.

[herbergeehh]

They've taken that silly "the Darkness" thing even further..

Sorry, Cletus, I'm still not sure what you did, was it a pun of some sort? Anyways, the Cynics were fantastic, a real cult garage band it seems. (I can see why!)

Was looking forward to seeing the Bloody Hollies in Oslo the 22th, but it looks like the Feyenoord match will put an end to that.. close future: Kaizers Orchestra, Minor Majority and probably Black Debbath.

(The name Black Debbath of course comes from Black Sabbath - debatt is also the Norwegian word for 'debate'.) Fun little band, combining metal with humorous lyrics about politics etc. They also have a cd named "Mongo Norway", which is a (and I quote:) "more realistic tourist guide"..

They are currently touring in Norway with a Henrik Ibsen salute, with the suitable single "Motorhedda Gabler". (Hedda Gabler being a character from one of his most famous plays, "et dukkehjem").

Youtube can as always help..

Tell me you didn't actually hand over money to go and see them?

[Radagast]

Sure did. Decent Alice Cooper-style 80s rock, but with added monster costumes.

Plus they had these lunatics in support so it was well worth a tenner.

[Rovermatt]

Rock and indeed Roll.

[herbergeehh]

Paal Flaata concert coming up in December, probably the finest voice in Norway

[Radagast]

I'm going to see Slayer tonight. SLAAAYER!!!

Ahem. Hope they're not as rubbish as their new albums.

Looks like a really entertaining night .

How can you not? Aside from the impossible, I'm struggling to think of something better than The Fall at The Warehouse Project. It will be absolutely amazing.

[Cocker]

Found some Manu Chao tunes that I had saved - not for everyday listening but always good to go back to once in a while

Busy week on the horizon.

Muse in Manchester on Friday 10th

Pendulum in Lancaster on Thursday 16th

Muse in Sheffield on Saturday 18th.

Can't say I'm not looking forward to it.

[Radagast]

Full report required please...

Pretty damn good, Mr Fleming. They only played about for an hour or so, which isn't really enough, and had a few too many rubbish songs in the set, but you can't really argue with Angel of Death, Raining Blood, Seasons in the Abyss, South of Heaven etc.

Tom Araya is a bit of a shadow of his former self these days (no intro scream in Angel of Death ), but its not the sort of thing you really notice when the rest of the band are in full flow.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to extend a massive thank you to the SECC for opening the doors an hour before stated on the ticket, making me miss all but two songs by Children of Bodom (the only other good band on the bill). Clowns.

[Roaming Rover]

Went to see a pretty unknown American band called the Spinto Band at Manchester Academy last night and have to say it was fantastic. The music and energy on stage was superb and they even got the support act on stage to perform with them.

Plus the Inspiral Carpets are playing in March, happy days
