Man I'm spending too much on gigs, but it's turning into a really good year for good bands touring... Just got Suede tickets, it's good that they've added a new date at a smaller venue... Also GOOD that it's a Saturday night, we can really make a day of it, but not so good that it's the Astoria on a Saturday, the gig will end at about 10pm so they can start clearing everyone out to get a club night in there...

Suede are onstage very early indeed, as suspected, so as to clear everyone out in time for the club... Word according to popbitch is that Neil Codling will be in the building, but undecided as to whether he's performing or not... WHO CARES, what about Bernard?

So glad we went to the Astoria to see Suede on Saturday, they were fantastic. They played two sets, the first being all the non singles that they say they wanted to play - coincidentally it was all their best songs, all the songs they've been ignoring at most of their gigs, all the songs that we wanted to hear... then they did a set of all the singles, a Suede fan couldn't really ask for more.
I think they planned to come back on and play The Wild Ones to end with, but there was some problem, so the gig left on a bit of a not-quite-ending, to the ghostly sounds of We'll Meet Again over the PA...
Thought we might see more celebs swanning about the place, but as we were downstairs we missed all the action in the Keith Moon Bar which is the best place for spotting... did see Mike Leigh in The Phoenix, very bizarre to see an achiever, and not just a frivolous pop B-lister.

Looks like they're splitting after this tour... I hope it's after the tour anyway!
