    Pink is definitely a grower.

    Have ye heard "A Sunny Day in Glasgow"? I'm not sure about their album "Sea when Absent" yet... I was under the impression they were a shoegazer type band!

    Some of their older stuff has a more shoegazer vibe to it albeit with a very experimental edge, but I'd consider them more of a dream pop band these days. I love Sea When Absent though.

    Anyone listen the new Foxygen album?

    I had 2 of their albums on Spotify until earlier, deleted them.

    I downloaded it earlier when I read your post. (Modern tech is wonderful) Anyway, listening to the first track, I was a bit meh.. next track was great, bit of a change I thought...but further inspection proved it was Autechre that somehow came on.

    How much more irrelevant can Hot Press get?

    Radio advert for current issue loudly proclaims Delorentos as one of Ireland's most important bands ever.

    Time to put it out of it's misery.

    But they are important. They have a very special place in making bands like My Bloody Valentine, Microdisney and God is an Astronaut appear God-like. You've got to have bands like Delorentos.

    I'm not quite sure I've ever heard a song by them. I'm sure it's inevitable that I have but I wouldn't recognise one.

    I heard rumours a few years ago that they were seriously tight with someone in the music industry who basically got them onto HWCH and Meteor award shows undeservedly.

    Keep in mind that this was from people in other bands knocking around at the time, so it might all just stem from jealousy, but I've heard it said a fair few times

    Crystal Castles have split up. Alice Glass is going solo.

    Really enjoyed the Antlers tonight.... Been a lot of gigs this year... Probably done now unless some local ones show up.

    Surely you have enough gas left for Future Islands?

    Wish I did. Looks like I'll have to wait until next time. Say it'll be a great show.

    Would have loved to see Antlers. My own fault for bad scheduling :(

    Going to Future Islands though! :)

    Was at Antlers last night and going to Future Islands on Sunday...toot toot.:o

    Thought Antlers were excellent, was at the back though so was affected by bar chattering during some of the quieter moments, especially Epilogue.

    There was no need for it I admit.

    Will happily take an infraction for being a dick. :pac:




  • I was at The Antlers too. Great gig (Kettering would have made me cry if I wasn't made of stone) but I was painfully conscious of being pretty much the only loner near the front of the stage. I wish I had more gig buddies (or buddies in general) :(

    Why don't you join one of those groups that meet up for gigs? Say its a good way to meet people as well.
