Music/gigs

Tomorrow can't come around quick enough!

Going to see Bruce Springsteen in June and the Kendall calling festival in July.

As for music at the moment, nothing much of interest really is there?

Are you going for the for the full weekend (Kendal)?

I went to see "First Aid Kit" at Manchester Academy a few weeks ago. A Sewdish folk duo consisting of two sisters. OK, I hear you recoil in horror at folk music, but they write some cracking catchy tunes and both the CDs are well worth listening to.

You can catch them on youtube no problem.

I was most impressed when they moved from behind the microphones and sang unamplified, the whole place just went silent and listened.

Lovely.

Their Dad works the sound desk and the drummer on the night was allowed to speak: "It's rather strange being on tour with two sisters." I think that was a Finbar Saunders & His Double Entendres moment.

I know there's a few Motorhead fans here.

Tickets go on sale at 9am today for their 6th November gig at the O2 Apollo Manchester.

[bob fleming]

Well jell.

Bloody brilliant they were to Ozz!

Transmission! Ceremony - which Rovers should walk out to. And the encore of Temptation / Love Will Tear Us Apart will take some beating.

And thank you for the reminder Aggy - it might be a Tuesday and we'll probably be playing Brighton at home or something, but I'll be ordering tickets shortly for the mighty Motorhead.

Off to see New Order at the O2 academy on Friday. Also got tickets to see Frank Turner at Hay Festival which is 10 miles up the road for me. Not often we get live acts around here so can't complain for £10

Just in my hotel recovering after going to see New Order last night. Was fearing they might not still have it but they were absolutely fantastic - blew the roof off the Apollo!

Wish I was going again tonight! You'll have a great time Ricky - provided you turn up at the right venue.... :-P

I was absolutely crackers about New Order back in the 80’s, but can’t seem to raise any enthusiasm these days, not sure why the tunes are classics, maybe need to get a ticket and be pulled back in.

[Ozz]

For this afternoon at work (I'm on my own BTW) I have lined up Power Corruption & Lies (How appropriate on a Rovers site), followed by Low Life and maybe Brotherhood.

I may just do that, Bernard sounds in good voice on the samples.

[Ricky]

Fantastic, simply fantastic. That is all.

[Rovermatt]

Any fans of post-rock here?

Currently very into a Texan crowd called This Will Destroy You. They produce atmospheric, spine-tingling instrumental stuff, very much in the mould of fellow Texans Explosions In The Sky.

Can't recommend highly enough.

Just got back from seeing Blood Red Shoes at Manchester Academy 2 - great gig! An awesome noise considering there's only two of them.... top stuff!

Don't know if this'll work (I'm using Tapatalk on the phone) - pic:

You know it, You show it, And the time has come to shoot you down, what a sound

When the day is done, And it all works out,

I'd love to do it and you know you've always had it coming

You know it, You show it, And the time has come to shoot you down, What a sound,

When the day is done, And it all works out

I'd love to do it and you know you've always had it coming

I never wanted, The love that you showed me, It started to choke me, And how i wish i'd said No too slow, I couldn't take that too fast

I want you to know

You know it, You show it, But i can't back down, It's far too late, I can't wait,

Now the time has come, It'll all work out,

And when this Thing is done It'll leave no doubt

So when you've, Had your fun

Will you all walk out?

I'd love to do it and you know you've always had it coming

I'd love to do it and you know you've always had it coming

I'd love to do it and you know you've always had it coming

(And before anyone asks, no, I'm not suggesting anyone do anything stupid - it's just a great song)

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Going to see Albert Hammond at The Band On The Wall in Manchester tomorrow. " It never rains in Southern California ", " Free electric band " ring any bells.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

I've been meaning to add a follow up to my earlier post above but the events of this week have left me very low. A pal of mine was a big Albert Hammond fan and he persuaded me to go to the gig. I thought it's not really my cup of tea. Well what a great gig and a great performer, He ran through his songwriting catalogue, very bravely starting out with " Little Arrows " and then "Gimme that Ding ", from then on it was upwards all the way. It was truly amazing to find out the number and range of songs he had written. " The air that I breathe ", "Private dancer", " One moment in time " were all his along with loads more I've forgotten.

If you get the chance go and see him , you'll have a great night.

[Sandiway Blue]

Going to see 'Brit Floyd' tonight at the Bridgewater Hall Manchester.

Should be good stuff!

[david_daft]

Yes we're going on the Thursday and staying until Monday.

I went a couple of years ago, the security were a bloody nightmare.

Searches going on everywhere, anyone caught with even the tiniest amount of anything they shouldn't have had were

handed over to the police, taken to the local nick and refused entry back into the festival when released a few hours later.

Never seen anything like it.

[jones_rover]

A bit off topic I know but here seems as good a place as any!

Does anyone know the name of the song played at Ewood recently that goes along the lines of "do you remember"?

[Rover95]

It's called Fire in the House by Hard Fi

[bryan nelsen]

Anyone listened to the new Brian jonestown massacre album? If so, what do you think? By the way, for some reason, this is the first time I've been able to post on this forum for about 8 months. God only knows why.
