View from the Dolman Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 June 23rd: the day after BS3 Live is scheduled... I guess if they can re-use the same stage set-up it brings some economies. But if KoL are the kind of act that want/need their own stage configuration... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s unlikely they will - all the other dates are arenas or things like BST so think they’ll just use the default stage that’s set up - doesn’t appear to be “production” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the plus side of course, with an attendance of 572 at BS3 live the day before no concerns over the cleanup operation 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 I saw them in Wrexham last year, they were brilliant. And I say that as someone who can take or leave most of their stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 On the subject of gigs I saw the brilliant Gruff Rhys again last night. Superb set in an intimate venue I'd not been to before: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/gruff-rhys/2024/strange-brew-bristol-england-53add7d9.html His new album is well worth a listen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 1 hour ago, !james said: now we're talking! See I think about these things too much. But the lyrics… ”I’ve been to the year 3000 Not much has changed but they live underwater And your great great great granddaughter is pretty fine” Have always bugged me. For a start, living underwater appears to be a marked change to living and they’ve just blown it off as if it’s nothing. Worse though, they appear to have a thing for really old people and they were 20 somethings. The song came out about 2000 and therefore the great great great granddaughter of the person they are addressing would represent the 5th generation down. Meaning on average she would be about 200 and therefore likely to be a dribbling mess who can’t dress herself. Far from being pretty fine, it can only be surmised they’re taking advantage of an elderly lady and they’re absolute scumbags. On that basis, I can’t support this gig. Added to that, they’re ****ing shit. But it’s mainly the moral angle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was back home, I was sat in traffic leaving our Nottingham office when I remembered that I still hadn't opened it. Knocked Up came on and I thought that's sounds very good, I'll listen to that again....... It was 145 miles to my home in Keynsham at the time and by the time I got back I still hadn't got to Charmer (track 2) For me it's up there with The Royal Scam as one of the great epics that tell a story that captures your imagination and has hooks and melodies galore. It's almost like the band themselves don't want to stop playing it, every time you think it's ending, it comes back again. Those drum reports in the middle of the instrumental section are incredible too, I still forget where some of them are. Such a daring thing to do to for a band like them known mainly for their short sharp shock tracks, to open with a 7 minute opus which I describe to people as a "Jerry Springer show set to music". I think you can tell that I quite like it. https://youtu.be/_Mzklb9nkXM?si=I1l6xlZLwLjHcgLO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internetjef Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 First 3 albums were class , one of my fav bands at that point l, 4th one felt like such a huge sellout though haven’t really listened to any of the albums release since then , but the singles I have heard from them didn’t hook me back in. have heard some of these latter albums are actually passable , but just can’t get over the 4th album trauma ha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
