Music Gigs...

Not a lot of big gigs in Iceland, but Eric Clapton finally agreed to play here and will do so in august. Can't fecking wait.
 
Editors were better than I thought they would be, his voice is very good quality for a live band, and it is hard to find the aspects that are different from the recording studio, was a good gig. Got to wait a fecking age before Pendulum now.

Saw Editors at the Apollo the other night. Got to agree with you, they were excellent. I was also impressed with his voice and he had a good stage presence. The light show was top notch too. All in all a good night

So you went after all.
 
Yeah I was always gonna go. I had no choice, my bird bought the tickets. I just wasn't at all enthusiastic about it (I have to be up at 4am for work and didn't get back til 1am). Glad I made the effort though

Glad you enjoyed it.

Anymore coming up?
 
The Mars Volta at the Apollo next Thursday 14th March.

Cant wait.
 
dinosaur jr next month i think.

Justr heard neil young playing cork and malahide castle in ireland at end of june..so one of them for definite.
 
Went to see a band called the Rifles at the London Forum on Friday. Been to see them before and they were class so was looking forward to it. They announced on their myspace that there was going to be a little suprise. Little did we know that Paul Weller was going to come on for the encore! Absolute class. Best gig i've been to i think.

Yeah check them out, they are really quite good but don't get any recognition from the media.
 
Were you at any of the gigs Sigur Ros filmed for Heima?

sorry for the late response, but yes I was, If you've seen it I was at the gig where the camp fire is and the pointy mountain is, sat very closely to the fire.


anyway.... bought tickets to Eric Clapton.
 
Ging to take a chance on Santana at the garden april 8th.I just hope he's in a jammin mood.
 
I went to see Gogol Bordello last night at Brixton Academy. F'in mental show, my ears are buzzing. Brilliant live band. They played for almost 2 hours.
 
Class :D

On an unrelated note

I have:

The Enemy: 8th April
The Pigeon Detectives: 14th May
The Wombats:
28th May

Can't wait

Saw the Pidgeon Detectives earlier in the year and they are class, get the crowd going.
Wombats on the other hand were pretty rubbish when i saw them. Just so cheesey....
 
In the next short while I shall be going to

Third Eye Blind - NY
Josh Ritter - Brooklyn
Iron & Wine - Dublin
Bruce Springsteen - Dublin
Neil Young - Dublin

I'm sure I'll be getting along to a few others while in NY and see what else comes up aswell....

Had a good year for gigs last year..
 
I'm attending Fresh Fest next month.

Busta Rhymes (and hopefully Spliff Star), Ghostface Killah and Chords as the warm up.

Should be a cracking night.
 
Oh and Jay-Z is coming in June.

Should be legendary.
