A band and "a band" related stuff, including places, pubbing, gigs and posts about a band. If you have something to contribute concerning a band that is not mentioned here, please contribute. Particularly if you have something to contribute concerning local pubbing or other places, home brew, ale, or appley goodness. Cheers.
This is my personal site, so if you search here for pubbing or other places it will only return a band pubbing / places I have been to or plan to go to. Fingers crossed it will return those anyway...If you are interested in a more broader search please try a band on 'Folkestone Gerald, where I list national and international places...

Jacques Anthony Reynolds and Matthew Scott, Jack basically, I preferred the whole band, but still good. Spitz
Ghost of the Robot James Marsters' band... ooh, a stinker! Islington Academy
The Tears plus The Subways. First official gig for Brett Anderson and Bernard Butler's new band, though they went and did a couple of sneaky warmups before this in Oxford and somewhere else. Not that great really. Heaven
The Darkness BANG Magazine launch party, free booze! Plus another band, was it The Libertines again? 93 Feet East
Skid Row plus LA Guns and Love / Hate. The latter announced a "secret" gig they were doing the next day in London, I should have gone they were one of my fave bands of the day. Docklands Arena
Love / Hate Plus my first time (of many) of seeing Atom Seed, and a couple of other bands. Happy new year! The Marquee
The Tears Brett Anderson and Bernard Butler, weren't they in a band together before? One of the NME gigs, support included The Magic Numbers I think but we stayed in the pub and missed them all. Astoria
Belle & Sebastian Karaoke as a warm up act? Or was it Franz Ferdinand? We went in late and missed all that, but a friend of a friend did get up and sing Lazy Line Painter Jane with the band. Astoria
The Avalanches Went with an old workmate, got drunk before the gig and I think I went home as soon as the band came on. Electric Ballroom
