You might want to check out a group called Earth Ball from Canada. They play Lewes Con Club with Chris Corsano on 29/5. Similar to Wolf Eyes, ie. experimental, improv.
Must be an arena gig thing, which I have always tended to avoid.
Mary Chain at the Roundhouse next week is about £40 and that’s as far as I’ll go personally
Or the escape club in Brighton.
And Hastings Pier, which was damn good.
I’ve see him quite a lot of times over the years. The last...
They were great at the DLWP in Bexhill a few years back too.
If you sign up to their mailing list before 10 am tomorrow it looks like there might be a pre sale before Fri.
(just googled when Bexhill gig was and can’t believe it was in 2017!)
For those of on the East side if the county, noise-mongers Gnod play the Piper Club in St Leonard’s/Hastings on Fri 6 May.
Anyone know anything about this venue?
Looking at their listings they’ve had some interesting bands.
The only other group I’ve heard of and listened to a little bit are Kansas Smitty but they’re not really my thing.
My newish discovery is Hedvig Mollestad. She’s a Norwegian guitarist who plays on the edge of jazz and instrumental rock.
Some awaiting to be rescheduled but am hoping to get to some or all of the following-
Gnod
Metz
Snapped ankles
Big brave
Hey colossus
Melt yourself down
Bo Ningen
Porridge Radio
Shonen Knife
Next year,
Oh Sees
Swans
I was there on the Sunday. Great line up. Christ it was muddy though.
Fun trivial (and ‘look at me!’) showbiz fact, I promoted Teenage Fanclub’s first show in England in about 1989.
I bought a pair after a very loud Swans show in London a few years ago. I’ve been going to gigs for 35 years but this one freaked me out a bit due to the noise and my location in the venue. I don’t wear them often but take them along to gigs that I know could be punishing. I’ve since worn only...
I read this over the weekend. Made me chuckle. A gig a month minimum and quarterly visit to a gallery per year should help to put a few years on before I pop me clogs!
You’ll know this already, but for the benefit of others, also check out Shabaka and the Ancestors, the other group that he leads. He’s also been a member of Melt Yourself Down but don’t think he plays with them these days.
You probably know this already so apologies. Jordan has been a Seaford resident for many years (possibly born there, not sure). She’d commute to London from Seaford to work in Westwood/McClaren’s Sex shop. She’s been a receptionist/nurse at a Seaford vets for about 20 years.
