bickster Posted September 9, 2011 Moderator Share Posted September 9, 2011 Back to The Wooden Shjips gig. Mugstar were rather good, the other support band, the Fresh and Only's were simply awful though. The Wooden Shjips were great, fantastically tight band, it takes some talent to play what they do, it's not as easy as it might first seem. Quite impressed by them tbh even if the front line all look like characters from the Furry Freak Bros (inc a Fat Freddy / Noddy Holder cross breed on keyboards) and the drummer was very animatd but could quite easily have been some scally picked up off the streets of Liverpool in the 80's. Must admit though I did think it a little over long a set in the end, there's only so much of that metronomic psychedlic krautrock drone stuff you can take at once I think, if I was stoned, I would probably have thought differently but alas not. Impressive that they could do what they do nonetheless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YLN Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Brian Cox is coming to my new university this year to do a talk. This may happen in all universities across the UK, but it's exciting for me. Hope I can get tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leemond2008 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 you bastard you got tickets for spiritualized at the albert hall??? I tried everywhere for them but heard about it too late, the greatest gig I have ever been to was spiritualized at the sage in newcastle, fooking amazing that was, they played the whole of the ladies and gentlemen album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulver Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Great band, there's actually a 50/50 chance I can't go. Wont know for sure until the weekend though. So if you still fancy it I might have one ticket to sell (standing, face value of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Melvins (Birmingham Institute) Acid Mothers Temple & Bong (Birmingham Hare And Hounds) Spiritualized (Royal Albert Hall) Nice.

Some of the Supersonic Festival line up (although i'm still 50/50 if i can justify the weekend tickets for the 6-8 bands i actually wouldnt mind seeing) Which bands are you looking to see there? Best line-up they've had in a good few years I reckon. Worth it just for Electric Wizard, Secret Chiefs 3, Alva Noto, Part Chimp and DJ Scotch Egg for me. Everything else is a bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else is a bonus Of that lot, Alva Noto and Part Chimp. I've got very bored of Electric Wizard over the last few years and Secret Chiefs do nothing for me at all. DJ Scotch Egg 'maybe' For me, Circle, Turbonegro, Drmcnt, Teeth Of The Sea, Pharoah Ovelord and that's about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loud, heavy, tons of fuzz and noisy as ****, love them. Try a.P.A.t.T. if you havent experienced them before. Quality experimental troupe from Liverpool, who do one of the best renditions of the Mos Eisley Cantina music I have ever heard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Plant and Page guys look the part as well but they do sound so **** good. Will see again when I have the chance.
