Midlake are a fantastic outfit and the Roundhouse is a fantastic venue. May I remind everyone who wants to go see Midlake to book direct and thereby avoid the rip off booking fees. To make it easy, here's a link:

Anyone feel like dancin!? I for one could do with some light relief and a night of post-election poppy bliss. Scissor Sisters are coming Brixton way.

[TillieTrotter]

I saw them there a few years back and they were brilliant, a real party atmosphere. Also saw them at Glasto and they rocked the Pyramid stage.

Presale link for Scissor Sisters. Personally I'm crossing my fingers and holding out for the Thursday.

Thank you giggirl!

I've now happily bought some presale tickets.

[benjaminty]

I did Scissor Sisters at Brixton Academy on a Halloween Sunday about 5 years ago ..... funniest gig I ever went to . Everyone was in fancy Dress and afterwards everyone piled into Plan B still in full costume until 6am Monday morning. AWESOME!

[giggirl]

The pre-sale only has circle seats left now and I wouldn't recommend circle - they won't let you STAND up there, let alone DANCE. What's the point of seeing a dance band and being made to sit on your hands? They might put some more standing tickets on later. Otherwise, hold off until the onsale (probably Friday) and then try first thing through the wonderful www.stargreen.com. I'm pretty sure the Thursday will go on sale too - at least I hope so - that's my night out.

I really need a fun night out at the Scissor Sisters tick all the fun boxes. What to wear though?

Just got a post from Ian McLagen on Facebook that the Faces (Minus Rod) are going play the Goodwood Festival in England on August 13th. The line up: Ronnie Wood, Kenney Jones, Ian McLagan, Mick Hucknall & Glen Matlock.

[giggirl]

Hi Jah - I had an email about that too and I thought of you straight away. I was wondering how you might feel about Hucknall standing in for Stewart?

[Jah Lush]

Well, to be fair to Hucknall (though I've never been a fan) he does have a fine voice though it's not really my cup of Rosie. Rod's voice isn't what it used to be either and I doubt if he could get the high notes anymore but let's face it without him and the late great Ronnie Lane is just wouldn't be the same. I think I shall be leaving well alone.

The Strokes are headlining IoW festival this weekend. Are there any Strokes fans in ED? There's a band called Venison playing at Dingwalls in Camden tomorrow night. Tickets for this "Venison" gig go on sale at 9pm this evening from the Dingwalls website. Strokes fans - get yourseles down to the "Venison" gig.

http://www.dingwalls.com/listings/?lgig=6b422fa7-a092-4e32-91ff-f1d7150f110a&performance=1

[giggirl]

Regarding my earlier post re "Venison" tomorrow night. Is anyone actually interested in going to this? I ask because the Dingwalls site crashed badly under the pressure but I do have a link directly to a buying page that I can PM to anyone interested. I'm not going to post the link on a public thread because the tickets are already selling for big big money on ebay. Will happily PM to a Strokes fan / forumite. Personally I don't get them but that's beside the point.

Cathal coughlan to play the gorgeous bush hall in sept. Pennydreadful is probably with me, anyone else?

Hi

The National are giving away free tickets for their Roundhouse gig as part of iTunes festival - see below:

If you live in London, you may have heard that we'll be playing the Round House as part of the iTunes Festival. They have generously given us 200 tickets to give away, so we thought we'd offer a pair to the first 100 people that write us at [email protected].

Not sure if you need to be on their mailing list or not.

Kasabian @ Brixton 19th August. Pre-sale expected otherwise on-sale this Friday.

[Annasfield]

Hoping this will be one.

Accidentally ordered 4 instead of 2 tickets for this, so if anyone would like to attend there are two spares going here:

Coral tickets for 14 July @ Shepherds Bush

[SeanMacGabhann]

Cherry Ghost (new album out today) are the support for that gig as well Annasfield - very very good indeed. I can't go myself but I'm definitely recommending it to anyone wavering

[Wilhelm]

Just got back from seeing Them Crooked Vultures. Man Alive.

[citizenED]

I saw this lot, Breakestra, at the Jazz Cafe in Camden on Saturday. Guitar, Bass, Synth + percussion, trumpet, Sax, female singer and a Sam L Jackson-like rapper. Absolutely-freaking-brilliant. Didn't stop dancing.

And it was! Shame they only played for an hour.

One of the highlights was being stood about 2 metres away from Noel Gallagher in the bar. Rock and Roll. ;-)

[Jah Lush]

Excellent PiL gig last night at Shepherd's Bush Empire. John Lydon has still got it in spades.
