Alone, Jealous and Stoned

I've been neglecting this blog for a while, but I've been busy, out and about at various gigs.

Last Monday was Ginger and the Sonic Circus, him out of the Wildhearts, with a 9 piece band playing his solo double LP. Old style rawk n roll with a country twang ...they were v good. Then a couple of days after that it was Seth Lakeman, who was terrific - good to see some folk at the Rescue Rooms.

Tonight it was Secret Machines - kind of Spiritualized, shoegazey drone with a motorik krauty beat - fantastic. Still loads of pricks sending two page text messages to their friends, oblivious to the happenings on stage.

Anway, there are more gigs in Nottm at the moment and coming up than I can ever remember...it's been at least one a week for a while now. Coming up - Jim Reid, Shack, Teddy Thompson, Black Mountain, the Lords, and dahn the smoke Pharoah Sanders, for some original avant garde jazz skronking...and Primal Scream in Wolves in a couple of weeks...
