Fishbone in Newcastle tonight :)

[thisnameistaken]

Anyone else going? Haven't seen them for a few years, very stoked.

Decided to miss this to go see our very own Dick Venom & The Terror Tones play in Gateshead...

...Well. I didn't actually know Fishbone were playing until yesterday.

[waynepunkdude]

Did they play with Random Hand?

Bollox playing in Glasgow tomorrow and I'm meant to be rehearsing

I was going to see them at the Underworld on Wednesday but had to work late, Robin is a top lad.

[waynepunkdude]

Our very own Chris (Basska) from The Hostiles will be playing with them in Glasgow.

Just got back. They were fantastic! Surprised but chuffed to see Big Walt back with them as well. The sound was fairly rough but that didn't stop me from jumping round like a 17 year old again! Loved it.

Random Hand were good as well, from what I saw.

Damn - can't believe I missed them as I've been in Durham this weekend. I'll also miss them at home in Glasgow as I'm still in Durham till tomorrow. :-(

Absolutely mate. We both loved it! Hope to catch you playing again soon.

bastard. gig cancelled due to lack of ticket sales. money refunded at the venue, but gutted all the same.

to name and shame the venue, it was SUB-91 in Leicester. they didn't even bother to put a sign out saying 'gig cancelled' or similar. tossers.

i think they're part of the 'walkabout' chain of Australian-run pubs. complete cowboys.

Jesus, it's a sad day when a band like Fishbone can't sell enough tickets for a gig. Unbelievable.

[bassoctopus]

They only sold 100 tickets at Newcastle.

Luckily they sold another 100 or so on door sales

Bloody Ncle Academy 10pm curfew is a joke though. Norwood wasn't impressed when we saw him at the end.

Great gig as usual, but sound was pretty poor

[thisnameistaken]

Ah I wondered why everyone was on so early, it was weird. Still, plenty of drinking time afterwards.

Is this endemic to O2 (or ex-Carling) Academy venues? I've been to gigs in a few, and every single one has been horrendously boomy and muddy.

[bassoctopus]

Kings X sound was really good.

The venue was too small for the choas of the Fishbone sound I think

[burno70]

Man - I had no idea they were touring! Genuinely gutted!
