Lol, only got put on the guest list for this last night! It's our annual signal that Christmas is officially here! You could try Liam F, used to be The War Chest on here, not sure what his name is these days.
 
And the Boogaloo was, as always, brilliant! Though it seemed even more packed than usual and full of very tall people!
 
Domino Records band The Bohicas are playing in Southend next Thursday at Chinnerys and Canvey at the Oysterfleet on Sunday. I did a bit of work for them earlier in the year relating to tours in Australia and Japan but I've not seen them live as they have not played London since.


They seem like nice lads and sound like Dirk era Ants and are on a great roster so worth a visit....

Dub Sex are back and playing in Camden tomorrow.
Sleater Kinney are back and playing Camden in March.
Babes In Toyland are back and playing Shepherds Bush in May.
Prolapse are back and supporting Mogwai in Camden in June.


Iceage, Bohicas, Jon Hopkins and East India Youth, Will Butler, R Seiliog, the Saturday line up of Field Day....

A general election / war and promotion for the mighty Southend United - I am chuffin lovin 2015
 
Manfred Mann's Earth Band at the Holmfirth Picturedrome. They played for 110 minutes and included their most well known songs. But I couldn't help thinking that a shorter set time, with less self-indulgent solos, would have made for a better show. For the encore they did a strange reggae version of Do Wah Diddy Diddy before finishing with The Mighty Quinn which unnecessarily morphed in to Smoke On The Water and Sex Machine before getting back on track for the final chorus. Not a bad gig, but it could have been better.

I have just booked a ticket for Wilko Johnson at The Ritz in Manchester in March. I have to say when I saw him in Minehead, I thought it would be the last time I would see him play live.

It's my b'day this weekend and tomorrow we're off to Newcastle for a couple of nights of the 6 Music festival. Friday night @ the O2 Academy is War on Drugs, Sleater-Kinney, Interpol & Mogwai. Saturday at the Sage is Maximo Park, The Fall, Jungle, The Cribs & Gruff Rhys (and others). Can't wait.

Saw them at the Kursaal in '76 and, to put it politely, they were very average then! Self indulgent solos sort of rings a bell - nothing changes. The support band, Racing Cars, were however excellent and stick in the memory to this day.
