Tegis Posted October 29, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 29, 2022 18 hours ago, av1 said: I guess this could have gone in here or the ‘what you listening to now’ thread. I’ve got tickets to going and see Evanescence in a few weeks and they are being supported by Within Temptation. I’d never heard of WT tbh so today I’ve been listening to some of their stuff and I actually prefer them to Evanescence, absolutely brilliant, her voice is incredible. I’ve saw loads of bands that I like that aren’t particularly good live so I’m not going to get too excited just yet, but I absolutely love it when I go to a gig and come away blown away by a support act I know little/nothing about. I had tickets to that show but covid moved it 3 times so I had to ditch it. Shame, great bands. And if Sharons voice still holds up you are in for a treat.

theboyangel Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Have got The Bug Club tonight in the tiny Barrell House venue in Totnes. They recently supported Pavement but unfortunately it was the night after I was seeing them (instead we got the at times good but at times unlistenable Richard Dawson - very strange choice as an opener!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't get the clamour for him, that style of singing really isn't for me (Bob Dylan on Helium is how I'd describe it) I think Beak> supported another night so you really did draw the short straw on supports 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any would’ve been better than Richard Dawson… I got the impression the audience were clapping as they felt they needed to! Definitely got the poorest choice (and on a Saturday night!)

sharkyvilla Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Does anyone know of any decent indie bands on tour at the moment? I fancy going to one but a bit out of the loop when it comes to recent music. I like Wolf Alice but they're in Europe, I've heard of Fontaines DC but not that keen. Any recommendations?

blandy Posted November 6, 2022 Moderator Share Posted November 6, 2022 Am at the Ritz in Manchester right now for Julia Jacklin. £6.80 for a . Just the one, then. And you never know with the Ritz when the acts will come on. Not for a bit, it seems 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandy Posted November 7, 2022 Moderator Share Posted November 7, 2022 Well, that was excellent. And the way she deals with encores is as good as the Weddoes and the Lovely Eggs, but different (they don't do them, and say so at the start). She played about 12 songs, then said "right, we're gonna do 3 more, then stop for a bit, then play one more and that's it. After the 3, when everyone was cheering and clapping, she joined in with chants of "encore" and then went straight into the last one, Hay Plain. What a gig! And it's pleasing to see that she could fill the Ritz for someone mostly under the Radar. Proper talent. edit - Oh, and She was funny too. "When I play Manchester, it's usually at Gorilla, so it's nice to see a different part of the City" (Gorilla is basically opposite the Ritz, on the same street. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second @theboyangel's vote for John, they're terrific. I would have said Phoxjaw, but they've just been dropped from a festival due to allegations (refuted by the band, naturally, who've in turn gone to the police) against the singer so... maybe wait and see on that one. Brutus' new LP recently dropped and it's mega. Haven't checked if they're touring it over here yet at the mo. Sorry, these are all a bit on the heavier side as opposed to your more jangly indie stuff. For something lighter, new VLMV LP from a few weeks back is beautiful, think he's still touring it. Nothing too much of a departure from his previous material, but great all the same. I believe A Formal Horse and Modern Rituals are currently touring, might be up your alley. My latest find have been Mandrake Handshake, who are touring at the mo and they're a boatload of fun: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
