@ARNC Got me thinking of other interesting 'niche' acts you may enjoy, I've let opportunities to see Autechre and Oneohtrix Point Never at the Barbican pass me by previously, but when you opportunity comes again we should get tickets!
If you haven't heard it already, check out the Album 'Replica' by the latter, truly one of a kind, yet strangely familiar and nostalgic... It was made using many heavily distorted samples of commercials and clips from 80s and 90s television, so even if they don't register consciously, it ignites memories of the past deep within you!
-
@T4920 just looked up Oneohtrix Point Never and found this is happening tomorrow https://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whats-on/gigs/oneohtrix-point-never?eventId=963661. Might go for it.
And thinking of niche, have you ever checked out Obscurify? Not sure if it means anything but I’m quite proud of my 99% rating.
-
@ARNC I've just seen that too, but sadly I have plans this weekend.
OPN (Daniel Lopatin) is truly one of a kind, it's amazing to see him start working with mainstream artists like The Weeknd, and scoring films in recent years.He worked closely with the Safdie brothers on the Uncut Gems OST (Amazing film!)

Continuing my week of live music (last one unless a miracle happens). Oneohtrix Point Never as suggested by @T4920. Definitely glad I went, but it often skewed towards “interesting” rather than pure visceral pleasure. The visuals/puppetry was fun though.
-
@ARNC jealous of you being so close to these venues, do I gather from 'interesting' that you enjoyed it? Was it a diverse set? Or more in line with a particular style/vibe?
-
@T4920 yes, I enjoyed it but more on the level of appreciating it than getting completely enveloped by it. I don’t know the artist well enough (or at all really) to say how diverse the set was but from what he said, I think it was a good mix of old and new.
I’m sure there must be some good stuff going on in the East Midlands but I guess my location makes things easy. Next week I’ll be back to commuting and making do with listening to stuff in the car!

Hell is For Heroes tonight.
One of my all time favourite bands. Seen them many times.
The ups. The downs. The in-betweens.
They always know how to work the crowd and deliver 100% passion and commitment!
-
Perfect.
Phish has been making great use of MSG Sphere. We are on the way to Berlin or would be there. Guess we will have to try for next year but it must be such a mind blowing experience.
Friends have sent some phone videos and it just seems almost overwhelming.

@ARNC some of the best gigs! Love me a sticky floor gig. Finding a lot of reunion/anniversary tours happening post covid of bands I was into during my uni days - although respectfully standing on the outskirts these days rather than in the middle of the pit
-
@long_john86 I’m definitely standing on the outskirts, although I was never in the thick of it. I’m far more willing to try new things now and much less uptight than I used to be!
Last night was definitely the first time I’ve ever been in a room full of people shouting burn down Primark!

Saw this crazy band March Fourth that mixes funk and brass band styles into marching band instrumentation. This shot is during a portion where the band went out into the crowd and one of the entertainers who spins batons, juggles, dances, sings, and hula hoops got up on stilts. A really great time if they come near you.
Think it, be it.

@mclaincausey those guys are from my neck of the woods and are always a fun time
They do (or used to do) a big all ages show in town every year on 3/4 - we took our oldest to a few of those
