    Watched Hothouse Flowers at Nell's in Kensington last night.  Not a  band I am familiar with and my first gig at Nell's too. Excellent night all round.  Sound was brilliant, and everyone is close to the stage.  The band were tight and very good musicians, playing for 2.25 hours. Powerful, and haunting, music. Will try to catch them again next year...

    Off to see Bad Manners in Brighton on Sunday night.
    Bad Manners were good but Max Splodge supporting them was fantastic.

    Good to see Max Splodge is going strong. I last saw him at Sevenoaks Station but many times at the Tramshed and other venues in my youth.

    So did I  - The Tramshed ones were legendary - Gingers Out, Rock against Ginger People :)   - the album was never off my turntable.

    My last proper gig of the year was a couple of weeks ago - 90s indie almost-superstars Spearmint at Colours in Hoxton, who were absolutely tremendous.

    Excited about the gigs coming up in the New Year - Currls at Old Blue Last in Shoreditch and a trip up to the Horn in St Albans to see Personal Trainer. Basically my gig choices are decided by whatever's played on 6 Music late at night...

    Shed Seven at Rough Trade, Shoreditch last night.

    3 old songs and 3 off their new album.

    Very enjoyable.

    How was it?  Tracks released so far are promising.

    I'm seeing them at Ally Pally in March.  Looking forward to that.

    Surely Billie Eilish (if you like her or not) is more of a proper gig than a covers band ?

    Very good. Sounds a lot ‘bigger’ than the first album and added lots of live strings to the mix this time around. The songs released so far are probably the most instant (although I did only hear the others once). Short at 9 tracks (plus a secret bonus track). 

    Band were in good form and Thom is funnier than I expected.

    Or maybe not. Sounds pretty serious, hope he recovers.

    Have been lurking on the forum for a good while, mainly for CAFC reports and news but I keep missing this thread.  Looks like you lot have been to some cracking gigs over the last few months (some of which I've also been at).

    Coming up over the next 2 months for me are Gomez, Los Campesinos, The Mary Wallopers, Jeff Rosenstock and hopefully The Hives in April.

    I saw the statement yesterday. Sounded like he wouldn’t be performing for some time, but would try to attend personal appearances. This one may be a bit too soon for him though. Hope he makes a full recovery soon 🤞🏻🕴🏾

    Accompanied my daughter to Bring Me The Horizon at the O2 last night. Show finished nearly 45 mins late as it was stopped 3 times due to incidents in the crowd - it was pretty mad at times.

    They were actually pretty good and the stage show was well done.

    Bring me the Horizon yesterday, voice torn to shreds. 

    First time I've heard Empire live and I did my best banshee impression. 

    One of the best gigs I've been to
