charic Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 Quite simple really, We're all music lovers etc so there's a fairly high likelihood that we'll be going to some of the same gigs! So here's the gigs that I'm currently going too. If anyone else is going drop me a line and we can hang out! Scar Symmetry - 9th May - Islington Tenacious D - 5th June - O2 Academy Brixton Quote
Silvia Bluejay Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) This thread is an excellent idea! I'm still tempted to go see Judas Priest at the Hammersmith Apollo on May 26th (yes, the day of the London BC Meetup!). I haven't bought a ticket because it's around £40, and I'd be going alone, and I've seen the band several times, the last relatively recently when they still had KK on guitar. BUT - if any other metalheads here are equally tempted, I could be swayed... Edited April 12, 2012 by bluejay Quote
urb Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 OK - here's one from me - [b]Spice Of Life - Thursday 3rd May[/b] - I'm playing with my jazz funk band plus have the fantastic saxophonist [b]Dave O'Higgins[/b] sitting in as a guest on a few tunes. The venue is just off Charing Cross road (near Foyles) it's essentially a pub upstairs with a music venue in the basement and has a great intimate vibe - though it does have a capacity of around 100 so can get very busy... AND - there's the added incentive of turning up with you bass to sit in in the second set as there's a groove-led jazz jam - I was the only bassist last time and I had to play all night while the rest of the band went to the bar and drank beer... if you are vaguely jazz/funk inclined please come and play....

urb Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 Oh and on a slightly less gig promo tip (sorry about that) I'll be at Marcus Miller's gig in Cheltenham at the jazz fest on the first bank holiday weekend in May. Hope to see you there Mike Quote
Silvia Bluejay Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 Well, I'm into jazz-funk-fusion (as well as a lot of other genres!), I've seen and liked Dave O'Higgins before, and would absolutely love to check out your band. I've pencilled this in, subject to a couple of things I might have to do or be at on the day. I really hope to be able to see you there. Thanks for the heads up. Everybody, please keep plugs coming!

Lozz196 Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 It`s The Buzzcocks in Brixton, on 26th May (yes, the day of the BC meet-up) for me. Quote
woodyratm Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 I only currently have download so far! anyone there is welcome to meet for a drink. Quote
LiamPodmore Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 I'm playing Get Rompered Festival (Wybersley Hall Farm, Cheshire) on the 18th of May (Opening the friday night) if anyone else is on there, and i'm at Simple Plan at the Manchester HMV Ritz on the 2nd of May. I'll be very likely to add more to that list yet, as i'm always buying tickets. Liam Quote
Silvia Bluejay Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) By the way, Happy Jack and MacDaddy's band, The Junkyard Dogs, play at the George in Chiswick tonight, and I'll be there too. Edited April 13, 2012 by bluejay Quote
Low End Bee Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 I'll be at Silddx's Kit Richardson gig 21st May at the Half Moon. I'll be wearing a hat and drinking a pint of creme de menthe with a lemonade top. My own band, the Jetsonics upcoming shows are Half Moon 4th May with mod garage poppers the Len Price 3 and the Past Tense. Mohair and button downs and beehives all over the shop if it's like the last one we did with them. And 3rd June at the Tropic, Ruislip and 30th June Half Moon again both with the Members who've got Rat Scabies on drums. These gigs are the proper Sound of the Suburbs. Quote
Silvia Bluejay Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 I've put all the Half Moon dates - yours and Silddx's - in the diary and will make sure I attend at least one! Thank you. Off to like your band on FB. Quote
Gust0o Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Viking Skull when they return to York - you can come and hang out with me and my band! The only requirement is a fundamental ability to buy a round and drink Red Stripe. Quote

Low End Bee Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Good stuff Bluejay and Lozz. I might be off to Southend to see TV Smith on 22nd June at the Railway Arms if anyone is going. Quote
Happy Jack Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Thanks for the mention, Silvia. Incidentally, we're filming this one ... Quote
Silvia Bluejay Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Should I bring the lacy underwear to throw at you and/or the cameraman? Quote

Silvia Bluejay Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 I'm a very resourceful woman, I'll have you know Quote

charic Posted May 1, 2012 Author Posted May 1, 2012 No more for scar symmetry? It's next week (4 bands IIRC and only £10 a head) Quote
Silvia Bluejay Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 If I wasn't busy on the day I'd be tempted! Next time... Quote
charic Posted May 1, 2012 Author Posted May 1, 2012 No worries I can't believe the price of these tickets! Quote
Silvia Bluejay Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 It's a bargain, even more so now that any ordinary gig will set you back at the very least £25... Please keep us posted on other metal gigs you may be going to - sometimes they slip through my net when I'm busy and then I kick myself for missing them And if your band comes to London, we want to know that too! \m/ Quote
charic Posted May 1, 2012 Author Posted May 1, 2012 Yeah we need to get gigging again we're trying to get the album near finished first though (and we're picky gits). Once we're gigging and feel confident again we'll start to head London way Quote
