Oh dear Lord sorry Titch - did I send you to Fleet Foxes? I didn't recognise your name and I'd completely forgotten - sorry.


I was just meaning that I love the Roundhouse and I always feel very safe there - unlike Brixton which I honestly think is an accident waiting to happen.

...and the roundhouse holds over 3000 (comparable to standing at brixton)


but yeah, i see your point.


The only time i can ever remember thinking the sound at brixton was awful, was for the beastie boys last year, and that was only the sound sourced from the dj's decks, the live instruments sounded good.


A good measure for me was seeing arcade fire at brixton and the sound being excellent. But after seeing them at ally pally it was never much of a contest!

I was going to say Hammersmith. I've heard the very very worst sound at that venue (Ocean colour scene), but have also heard some good sounds. At Brixton, I've heard some absolutely awful sounds (Pogues the first time I saw them, although they sounded great the following year, Placebo, although that is probably because they're shit).


Thought the Pixies sound was pretty good though to be fair. My main gripe with Brixton is simply that they seem to be selling more standing tickets than ever, and it doesn't actually feel entirely safe, let alone comfortable. Only a few years ago, you could go to a sold out gig, and move quite easily through the crowd.


Big respect to the fact they allow you out to smoke though! That is an amazing plus point, as I've been gagging for a smoke at the last few gigs I've been to!

I've generally found the sound at Brixton to be pretty poor. Some gigs have been good - Primal Scream, Spiritualized and Hole spring to mind. But the worse beyond any doubt was The Smashing Pumpkins back in '93. Bloody awful.

Only been to the revamped Roundhouse a couple of times since it's been done up and the sound quality is so much better. Going to see Echo & The Bunnymen there on Thursday.

Well done Keef - so glad.


Guys this is a gift horse - no booking fees and no postage. This is the Pixies selling direct to fans as cheaply as possible and if Ticketbastard get their hands on these gigs you'll pay a lot more than ?30 a head. Friday standing has now sold out and the rest will quickly follow. Not many people know about the gigs yet. Yes there may be extra dates but don't hang about. Even if there are extras they'll sell quickly. Don't wait.

    • osted 26 minutes ago   "Walking around, it looks to me as if weedkiller has been used, as some weeds have been left in situ but are dead."   Perhaps they've died through lack of rain whereas dandelion roots go further down and can reach water?
    • Walking around, it looks to me as if weedkiller has been used, as some weeds have been left in situ but are dead. However, most of the weeds which have been (apparently)  killed in this way are hardly likely to lift pavements, being things like Shepherd's Purse. They might seed around, but I'm not sure what harm that does. I would like to know exactly what is the remit of the council workers who are tasked with dealing with weeds in pavements (and in tree pits?). Things like dandelions which have taproots (but are hard to remove in one piece)  have been left in the pavement,  whereas things like Toadflax (which don't, and are easy to just pull out) have been removed.
