Plan B magazine

I've got Butcher Boy and The Bobby McGee's in the lovely Lee Rosy's Tea Shop in Nottingham on Wednesday, and over in Leicester on Thursday Pram, The Freed Unit, and Albatross Conspiracy.

Yeay! for late night trains from London going through Leicester and on up to Nottingham so I can get home on the 1am.

That's cool - didn't know The Albatross Conspiracy was playing live and things; do say "hi" to her/them on my London-dwelling, midlands-abandoning behalf if you get the chance!

Anyway, gigs...

Well I'm wondering whether or not to shell out £12.50 to go to 93 Feet East tomorrow to see The Micragirls (YAY!!) supporting John Spencer's new band Heavy Trash (yawn..?).

And on Sunday afternoon I'm going to be crammed somewhere inside Brixton Windmill watching Jeffrey Lewis run through his Crass covers again and so forth..

That's it for the coming week, as far as I know at the time of writing.

I don't really know Tanya but I know her boyfriend Glyn reasonably well. Went to her first gig (she's playing solo with laptop and keys (glockenspeily type playing over classicalist IDMy techno stuff), which was pretty good.



Jeffrey Lewis was superb in Leicester the other week...the Crass covers stuff is better than they have any right to be really. 'Walls' is especially great.

Should I go to see Spookey at the 13th Note tonight? I know nothing of them. They're descibed as bass-heavy Japanese garage rock in t'Metro and looks most like the gig I'd like to go to tonight if I go to a gig. But that might completely screw up my already-shaky eating-food-before-it-goes-off plans for the week.

Other than that, no gigs but out every night except Wednesday, in a rare display of having-a-life.

hmmm. not much this week. supposed to be playing our last gig on thursday but the drummer is being a baby and refusing.

Pram is on Thursday? I had totally forgotten all about that one!
Leicester just moves too fast for me to keep up...

Nothing, because the two best venues in Coventry, Taylor John's House and the Tin Angel are closing down. Well they are unless they can obtain an unfeasibly large amount of money before this coming friday! Worst news ever.

you're kidding? thats terrible.

I wish i was. Found out today they need 200 people to donate £100 each, which doesnt sound that much money, but i think it's proving tricky. It' going to be run as a non-profit oraganisation to open up alternative revenue streams.

Lot's of people seem to be playing Last Ever gigs these days...is there something in the Air? Get yourself a sampler, much more reliable than drummers!

off to white mice tomorrow and battles on thurs...

Really wanted to see White Mice supported by DJ Scotch Egg at the Arts Organisation in Nottingham on Thursday but Pram was favoured by my other half.

is the art organisation the one by the station? always has some good stuff on there. should be a good un...

Yeah.... Mantile have been putting on interesting stuff there. Directing Hand were great there a while back.

BYOB always helps

I want to go to White Mice but a message popped up on my myspace about them having to cancel their gig in Sheffield today because they're stuck in France without work permits; i hope they get sorted for tomorrow but i dunno how these things work.

Silver Rocket all dayer on Saturday FTW.

waaaaay ahead of there.

weird. there's been a glut of implosions in our little world too.

bums, was gonna go to that. If not though I'll be at either the Metro for Misty's Big Adventure or Hoxton's Macbeth for Duloks! sweet Thursdays!

Tuesday I think I'm gonna go to the Pete and Pirates single launch with Hot Silk Pockets and I might try and squeeze in PopShop and William at the Buffalo Bar too.

I was hoping to be playing in Glenn Branca's 100 guitar symphony at the Roundhouse on Friday but it seems he's found 100 guitarists more suitable than I

...talking of gigs, I don't suppose anyone has a spare ticket for Jeffrey Lewis, The Mules and Wave Pictures @ 93ft East next Tuesday? Was utterly gutted when I found out it was sold out. I was a bit of a slow coach when it came to buying tikets. Rubbish.

Sunday

Rufus



It's going to be fabulous..

nyerrs. moving swiftly on...have you heard about this?



sadly, I doubt I'll be in town for this, but it looks like fun. it's BYOB too!

hoping to catch art of burning water in london this wednesday, but it's looking unlikely, what with trains and finding somewhere to sleep and that.

What ? You have a problem with Rufus ?

Say that to my face you bitch.. I'll scratch your eyes out

yes. a big problem.



shit. I forgot about this. I assumed I couldn't go. but I'm in london. on friday. oh shit. oh shit.

*palpitates*

There just isn't a camp bone in your body is there sweetheart

oh, my. you've no idea how wrong you are! I've had many a camp bone in me in my time.

my problem with rufus is that he burned down my chicken coop. with all my chickens inside.

But what was he doing with the chickens in the first place ? That's the question Holmes...

making schnitzel probably.

bollocks. just discovered the branca tickets are £25. that's a little steep, glenn.

Steep ? it's fucking vertical.

do I don the crampons or just amuse myself in base camp?

it's a dilemma. I'm not about to pay £25 for a gig ticket. but if I don't go, I'll probably go out with my london buds and end up spending at least that much on beer, bullets and hookers.

Well bullets are free on the NHS in London.. A pint is £24.. so what kind of bloody hookers are you planning on seeing ?

Please make sure they have their own teeth..





Well, on the other hand..

always opt for toothless. it's a sign of experience and rank. like those pigeons with missing toes.

'I'll be working on your street, missing half my teeth
Give another gummy blowjob get myself something good to eat
And with the change some Newport Lights' - Bobby Conn, Whores


Rank ? No probably his best song.

possibly the most delectable photograph of the man i have seen thus far. thankyou, Satan. thankyou.

i had to cancel seeing Rufus next week, but hopefully will be watching Grizzly Bear near a geyser at 1am instead! which *just* about makes up for not seeing that man's hair/eyebrows/leiderhosen grace a theatre. only just. i know i shouldn't like his version of Agnus Dei, but it makes me think of some saucy BBC Medieval dramatisation.

Glad you enjoy the picture. Shame you are missing the gig though. It really is some show he puts on

Off to see Pete and the Pirates, Capitol K, Lets Wrestle and Hot Silk Pockets tomorrow at the Barfly. Hurrah! Wanted to go and see Glenn Branca really badly but it's tooooo expensive... boo!

i never get to go to gigs unless i'm putting them or playing at them, booo.
so i'm glad about this one

bristol peeps come![/img]

its a few weeks off but just found that Stars of the Lid and Efterklang clash

decisions decisions

Tomorrow I will see Rush at Wembley Arena.

Wednesday I will see The Art Of Burning Water at The Old Blue Last.

Sunday I will see Watain at The Fridge, Brixton.

I'm off to the White Mice/Parts & Labor/Scotch Egg shindig at Bardens tomorrow...work permits permitting!

The Art Of Burning Water would've been great but I'm working

2 gigs from Scotland's leading drone technician Noma this week and they're both free. CCA Bar on Thursday and then a sandwich shop (!) on Saturday. The latter had better watch in case John starts using their gear...

THANK YOU! Somehow I'd totally missed SOTL we're touring! Aw man I can't wait for that!

I'm gutted they're not play roond these purts.
