Years of postponements later, it finally happened! Was good.
PJ Harvey this Friday, which I'm excited for too.
Full Beyond the Redshift line-up is up now too and I have no absolutely no idea how to play it. The Forum's lineup is amazing but I cannot fathom being there for 10 straight hours, and I'd also really like to try and see Slow Crush and Birds in Row. What a problem to have.

Saw LA Priest play a brief but very fun show @ Corsica Studios (Elephant & Castle) last Friday (6th Oct).
Mix of new stuff and classic hits played and copious amounts of stage-trashing and crowd-surfing/bombing to go with it. He even got the crowd to split and do a Soul Train-style dancing line!

Couple of great shows recently that I actually made it out to!
PJ Harvey at the Roundhouse was amazing; one of those artists I've wanted to catch for decades but for whatever reason have always missed the opportunity. No support, and instead a complete run through of the most recent album, and then what was essentially a greatest hits set after. Excellent.
Beyond the Redshift's full line-up was pretty great but other plans (and having old man legs/feet) meant that I instead had to get choosy about what I could turn up to. Didn't make it for Slow Crush sadly, but started the evening with Napalm Death at Kentish Town Forum, a quick dash down to The Dome for Birds in Row (great but quite brief), and then back to Kentish Town for a monstrous, 1 hour 45 set from Cult of Luna. They were superb. Lumbering and heavy but so, so tight, and just the most incredible sounding wall of sound. It looked like it was being filmed and I really can't wait to see what comes of that. Setlist was absolutely perfect from my perspective too; there was a bit where they played Lights on the Hill and went straight into Finland after where I'm fairly sure my soul just left my body.
Still got a few more things lined up before the end of the year, but also got tickets for Botch and Mitski next April/May, both of which should be very good.

Caught [K S R] @ Colours Hoxton last night. Supremely talented young Soul/R&B singer from Manchester. His first London show in a few years. Still as good as he ever was with a live band behind him.
Honourable mention to Kadeem Tyrell as the opening act. Don't normally catch opening acts at gigs I go to but glad I made the exception this time.Last edited by Nu-Eclipse; 26-10-2023, 13:47.

Carpenter Brut and Perturbator was Sunday. What an amazing double concert for the kid's first. I went against my morals and recorded some clips for the memories:
During the encore, Carpenter Brut himself came down and passed him a pair of drumsticks. What a memory!
Then it was Perturbator's set. Easily the loudest performance I've ever stood in front of (that's saying a lot). It's a good job James remembered his ear protection.
Next week is The Prodigy. James absolutely bums Howlett, so he's looking forward to that more than Christmas.
