Too old to rock

Updates

Travel update: twenty minutes late today, eitehr track circuit failure, or track surface failure, I was a bit too asleep to hear it. How can the surface fail? Must have been circuit. Why couldn't it have been another ten mins delay, taking us into re...

RE: My gigography

My 19th birthday gig !!!Deeeee-lite were a bit shite as I remember. The Revolting Cocks were better at the Astoria. Remember the strippers and you stage diving whilst I stood at the back in agony for some reason. Nirvana at the Hummingbird, now calle...

My gigography

Getting there with my gigography now, a list of every gig I've been to, from 1987 up to last year. It's a natural progression from my Best Gigs Ever post. Well that's the theory, but there's A LOT missing. I have chucked in details from the big bag o...

Only gig I know for sure is the one I was at

Guessing you've seen this and that's how you ended up here, I was at 27/11/91 Birmingham Hummingbird when they supported Nirvana.Nice pictures BTW, did you see that "post catatonic" Banksy art actually in the museum?...

Sugarmilk

I saw Sugarmilk on Saturday night at The Happy Frenchman, and wasn't really impressed. The singer's got quite a strong voice in the karaoke fake emotional style, and the band can play OK, but there was something annoying about them. The soundcheck go...

Expose Club

Looking for details of the Expose Club, Canterbury... Radiohead played there, if the many Radiohead gigography sites are to be trusted, but I suspect that one mistake in any of them would have been copied across the whole lot...The date in question i...

Sort of rock

Hello, just listening to Reuben's "Stuck in My Throat" EP, it's out on November the 10th. Sounds sort of half Nirvana, half Feeder, very brit-rock, a bit dull, not for me today...Reuben are playing live right now:Reuben @ Escape, Swansea, West Glamor...

I'll tell you who's good

White Light Motorcade are good, very good... just been listening to their eponymous debut EP and it's fantastic... sounds a bit Nirvana and a bit Pumpkins I suppose, but well recommended...This one is not out until the 24th of March (on All Action Fi...

Hell Is For Heroes

hell is for heroes (no capitals then?) release a new single on 20th January 2003. You Drove Me To It has already established itself as a Radio One, MTV and MTV2, XFM and Kerrang! TV playlist favourite and should afford the band their biggest single s...

And so it came to pass...

After 4 years of nagging, finally I relented and added Nirvana to the game... now it's your turn to do me a favour - buy Nirvana - the greatest hits, from here, for only 9.99...Also, get Kurt Cobain's Diaries here...Cool competition coming up, got Fr...

The Vines

Nirvana, Pixies and a bit of David Bowie... they were alright last night at ULU, but not amazing. Except their cover of "Miss Jackson", that was really quite great.It was however a star studded affair - one of Minuteman and also the Regular Fries. An...

No I'm not adding George Harrison

Yes, "My Sweet Lord" is going straight in at number one this week, but please stop asking me to add him to popEx, you are being GHOULISH.Likewise I'm not adding Nirvana unless they record new material.Aaliyah was listed on popEx long before her fatal...

Very Sexy Weekend

Got a call at 5pm on Friday to say "got a plus one for Trail Of Dead", which was very nice... so went to that, saw Snow Patrol supporting, they were really bloody good, first time I've seen them live, and they were very impressive.Mostly they made me...

Night of a MILLION, BILLION prizes...

Maybe I should have saved some of these for a slower news day? No, now is as good a time as any to dish out the FREE SCALARAMA TICKETS especially with the raging "Who is better; Nirvana or the Wedding Present?" discussion that's going on on the discu...

Oasis @ Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms

I was there at The Wedge, ace gig, and I really do remember this one, unlike the Nirvana @ Birmingham Hummingbird one I wrote up the other day...Found this bit of text from an NME interview, written by Simon Williams, quoting the band talking about t...

Nirvana @ Birmingham Hummingbird

Time for another bit of back-blogging... this day in 1991 I was at Birmingham Hummingbird to see Nirvana... I was just inspired to add this by stumbling across NirvanaGuide.com, which has the following details for the gig:Setlist:Drain YouAneurysmFlo...
