Sat 17 Nov – Alexisonfire, Saosin, Fair to Midland, Ghost of a thousand

Another fantastic set by the mighty Alexisonfire. The quality of the sound wasn't as good as the previous times I've seen them, perhaps time for a change of sound tech?? But the show itself was just as awesome as the other times I've seen AOF. You can never say they don't put 100% effort into their sets, full of energy as always. Played some of my favourite tracks of theirs, This could be anywhere in the world, keep it on wax, boiled frogs, Mailboz Arson and loads…

Tue 13 Nov – Stereophonics

Just got back from seeing the Stereophonics and I wasn't disappointed. Fantastic set by Kelly and the guys. They had me from the second song when they played 'the bartender and the thief' which was just amazing. Played loads of the classics, Mr. Writer, Superman, Just Looking, Pick a part thats new, Local Boy in the photograph. Kelly did an awesome solo version of 'Maybe tomorrow' and a great medley of some of the back catelogue, including 'Have a nice day' and 'I Wouldn't believe you wireless radio amongst others.' Finished with the amazing Dakota.

Wed 2 May – Alexisonfire, Attack In Black

Saw AOF for the second time tonight and again I wasn't disappointed. The first band, Khalo I think their name was. Not bad, same sort of genre as AOF so the sort of thing you'd expect. Attack in Black were up next…..god they were bad. Lost the crowd pretty early…at the end of one song there was a long pause before anyone clapped. Biggest cheer of the night was when they left! Bad!

Anywho, then came Alexisonfire! =) Burst, somewhat predictably, into Drunks, Lovers, Sinners, Saints (I had a feeling they'd start…

Wed 25 Apr – Maxïmo Park, Art Brut, Das Wanderlust

Wow. Best word to describe the awesome performance put in by Newcastle's finest on wednesday. From the word go their set was full on energy. The crowd was going nuts for every song. Best bit of the night by far was the performance of 'Apply some Pressure.' Everyone sang every word along with Paul and when the song ended, the roar never seemed to end! Second time I've seen them live and they were even better this time around. Great show

The Incubus gig has been cancelled because the guitarist has broken his hand! Frankly that sucks major donkey balls! Guess I'll just have to wait till its rescheduled now! =(

Tue 6 Mar – Eagles of Death Metal

Now I'll admit, I'm a relatively new fan of the EofDM. But I loved every single minute of this gig! Jessie is such a great showman on stage, really got the crowd going and feeling involved. Not only that, but the quality of their live performance was brilliant, not a wrong note heard (even during 'solid gold' which he thought sounded like 'a dog on taco')

Played all my favourite songs, Solid Gold, Cherry Cola (which was brilliant), I want you so hard and I only want you. But every song was…

Saw the the Eagles of Death Metal on tuesday!…..all I'll say is wow!!!!

Had a change of personel, Dave came with me instead of Tom but no matter to me, I was just looking forwards to the gig. We arrived a little late but hadn't missed anything. While we were bored and waiting we went to the merchandise stand to see what was on offer. Bought a rather funky EODM hoodie and a new sweatband. I seem to have misplaced my InMe sweat band, can't find it anywhere!?!

After that we wandered back into the main hall for the support…

Wow what a weekend! The best weekend I've had in ages for several reasons.

Friday was its usual self. Seminar in the afternoon was its routine self. Work was good fun for the most part! Not enough fit women this week tho!

Unfortunately I had to do an 11 - 6 shift on the saturday so had to get up at 9am which I wasn't too impressed by. The first hour of work was dead. Its slowly picked up around 1, then was heaving at 2. There were people sat at the bar queuing for tables! Then we had fun…

Believe it or not, this is a Bloc Party blog. The Meerkat thing will become apprently shortly.

Sp, last night, I saw Bloc Party! And my god they were awesome. Surprisingly there was only one support act for them, the Fields. They were alright, nothing spectacular. It was between the break of them finishing and Bloc Party coming on that I spotted a stuff toy Meerkat on one of the speaker boxes. Much as I wanted it, I didn't get it! But I did get to see an amazing performance by Bloc Party.

How awesome were they!?! Launched straight into…

I realise just how good a band Hell is for Heroes is again tonight after seeing them live. I can't believe I forgot to copy The Neon Handshake to my laptop again!

For the first time….possibly ever, I enjoyed all 3 acts tonight. Usually the first couple of support acts are a bit naff, you can hardly hear them sing and I lose interest. But this time, all 3 acts were top quality. First up were an act called Tellison. Pretty standard indie band but turned out to be a cracking live act. Their early songs were good, infact, their…
