@Tago-Mago unsure as of yet. love the descendents, totally hated the circle jerks the last few times i saw them.

[Matt]

Both are excellent on this tour.

Adolescents opened and they were great as well.

[endo]

Saw Amyl and the Sniffers in Hamburg.

Amy Tailor‘s energy is impressive. Great show.

[Tago Mago]

@Matt shame that they won’t join the European leg of the tour

[prpx]

@endo - seen them in Dublin two years ago and for me, it was best live gig of the year. Fantastic band, so much fun.

Day 1 of my music week today was a success. It may have been outside my musical comfort zone but I never once felt uncomfortable (apart from an acute attack of hair envy). Varied Nordic goodness headlined by Sólstafir, ably supported by Oranssi Pazuzu and Hamferð.

Apologies for the quality of the pics but it’ll give you a feel. @Tago-Mago did you get round to booking tickets for Munich?

[dinobarnesberlin]

@endo yea--just caught them here in Berlin Saturday night at Columbiahalle and it was so much fun.
Amyl reminds me of a female version of Iggy---and after being on the road for this leg of the tour..the band was tight!

[Tago Mago]

@ARNC glad to hear you enjoyed the concert. I need to figure out if my work schedule will allow me to go to Munich for the concert. It will probably end up being a spontaneous decision

[ARNC]

@Tago-Mago hope it works out for you. I think the first act is different for Munich but I can see you enjoying the other two. Currently waiting for day two to start – possibly more to follow later but keeping it Nordic tonight before a change of gear later in the week.

[Tago Mago]

@ARNC have fun. Irrespective of my being able to see them, this is a good opportunity to spin Ótta tonight

[ARNC]

Day 2 - a very different feel to last night, but fun and surprisingly lively for a Monday night thanks to the endearingly snotty Joe & the Shitboys from the Faroe Islands. If their counting was correct, they got through 33 songs in just over an hour!

A rest day tomorrow, then back at it on Wednesday!

Anyone in or near Dublin?

Heard this one last night - made me think of @Matt

[ARNC]

Music week day 3 - different venue, different vibe. At the halfway point, I’ve enjoyed every one so far but tonight was so much fun.

Pokey LaFarge at Electric Brixton with support from The Tailspins and the excellent Kitty Liv.

[ARNC]

Day 4 - a more intimate in the round performance tonight.

If a band drops names like Snarky Puppy and Cory Henry as influences/reference points they have to be good or stupid. I’m pleased to report that Tucan are far from stupid! Picking up on a discussion elsewhere, they also had two drummers - the second one was opposite me and a real joy to watch.

[ARNC]

And day 5 - the late one (doors at 9pm)! Glad I went but my least favourite so far and the venue was absolutely freezing!

Anyway tonight was Warmduscher. I think I would have enjoyed them more if tonight was a standalone night out and they certainly seemed to go down well with the crowd.

Technically it’s already day 6, but more of that on Saturday night …

[popvulture]

lol now that’s a band name!

[endo]

@ARNC said in Live Concerts:

the venue was absolutely freezing!

... Warmduscher

there you are

[ARNC]

@endo that wasn’t lost on me but it was true!
