    See him live if you get a chance. He's one of them who'll have a pint with you before/after the gig, and still remember you a year later. Proper nice fella.

    Will 99% be going to see him in Bowdon/Altrincham in October. Seen him a couple of times as a support act when he did mainly Seahorses stuff (which I love). Be interesting to see him mix Seahorses and his new album up.

    Had some great times at Burnden, but that night. Honestly hairs standing up on the back of my neck thinking about it. It was an absolute bear pit. 

    Best atmosphere EVER in my Burnden days.

    I'm biased because I've met him and he's the nicest bloke in the world and I also love his music, but Chris Helme's new album is fucking brilliant.

    Loving his new album. Totally different from what I’d normally listen to, but after 3-4 spins it’s a real grower. Light years away from his Seahorses material.

    Watching a Notts band called Express Office Portico tonight, its the launch party for their new EP.

    Only downside is their singer quit yesterday.

    Sounds almost the same as what happened with The Crooks. Thankfully they’ve reformed since.

  5. Last minute decision to go watching The Bootleg Beatles at Buxton Opera House last night. Great band, stunning old venue. Total sell out but emailed the box office asking if they had any returns. Bingo, got one the day before. Audience was a bit like the extras from Cocoon, but hey ho, once I’d had a couple of 0% lagers and a bag of Maltesers I was rocking!

    In the old days there was a night crew and a day crew. I did not have Internet at home so could post during day. Others only had access at night. 
     

    Get in in a morning and there would be loads to read through at work. 

    Haha, correct. I wasted hours at work, literally hours and hours, laughing my tits off and doing no work.

    Tickets booked for Dandy Warhols and Black Angels double header at Ritz in October

    Never seen the former

    If they both stick to their solid hits that promises to be a great gig 

    should have said. Quite fancy this myself.

  8. Also read that Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley had already bought out the rights to Kiss from Ace Frehley and Peter Criss many many years ago…. So that means the new deal pays out to only them leaving Frehley & Criss without an extra cent from this new deal. Don’t know if they will throw a few dollars their way, or just say “bad luck fellas”.

  9. Finished KIN last week. Need something new. Do we bother with Coma or is it a bit dogshit?

    Wife been recommended Love/Hate. Anyone on here watched it?

    Listened to the pre-album release songs on Spotify, yet to listen to the full album. Had Ride’s new LP on loop yesterday whilst out on a run. Not groundbreaking – but easy enough listen.

    Right you have sent me into a you tube hunt ! 
     

    Must not have been play offs, their bloke fouled Branagan (or maybe another keeper) but he had the ball. Mr Keeper pushed the attacker and ref (think it was Lynch) gave the pen. 
     

    This is a clear memory in my mind, am now doubting if it was even West Brom. 

    Was at that game at The Hawthorns, was on a Sunday. Not play-offs.

    (sorry, just seen the other 3 pages!!)

    I might have been once or twice back in the day. Closed down years ago - must be at least 10 years or so now. Some belting birds in there

    We used to “frequent” the website in our office at the time, but none of us had the balls to actually visit. Always remember the site had some top drawer girls on there. Just Googled it and apparently the bloke who put the site together for Sandys also got sent down!

  13. Night and Day cafe in Manchester finally won its battle with the apartments next door (built after the venue) – over the noise, etc.

    Roll on The Crooks in May!!
