Gig tickets stacking up, more still to buy, and a not-so-new band I’ve just heard. It’s been one of those days where fuzzy logic takes over. If you tolerate this, then your rebel skitters will be next. Oh, and Lucky Dragons play Dundee courtesy of Cry Parrot promotions!
Of all the times I could have decided to add a personal Gig Tickets I’ve Bought list to the homepage, it would have to be before the Summer of Emo. Oh no, it couldn’t be when I’m going to see Mogwai, or RM Hubbert, or Stevie R Moore. Nope. It had to be when it would most make me look like a total emo obsessive. Fine, whatever. It’s not like I have any cred to lose.
The following shows I am rather excited about. I’ve also been told by a promoter about another legendary emo band coming soon too so trust me – it gets worse!
Lucky Dragons, DCA Dundee, Mon 1st July, 7.30pm*
Rusty Hip Collective Zine #2 Launch Show, Tin Roof Dundee, Fri 5th July (FREE)
Braid, Stereo Glasgow, Fri 26th July
Texas is the Reason, Classic Grand Glasgow, Fri 2nd August
Jetplane Landing, Stereo Glasgow, 3rd September*
Jimmy Eat World, o2 Academy, 9th September*
Warpaint, o2 ABC Glasgow, 28 Oct
METZ, Broadcast Glasgow, 23 Nov
* = (must remember to buy)
I had rough day so you’ll forgive me if I ramble more/less than usual. Today I heard of the band TUBELORD for the first time. Not bad. Probably worth three-quarters of a thumbs up.
That’s all I got.
If you have an opinion on Tubelord or gigs you’re excited about and want to leave a comment, knock yourself out. I’m off to watch that so-bad-its-amazing sci-fi show FALLING SKIES.
Okay here’s some Lucky Dragons.
