[Out on blue 6]

Just been to see Sultans of Ping FC at the Ritz, the place was absolutely bouncing, just hope I get chance to see them again

Give him a ball and a yard of grass
He’ll give you a move with a perfect pass
Give him a ball and a yard of space
He’ll give you a move with godly grace

If god meant the game to be played up there
He would’ve built goal posts in the air

Could have been written for us

Bloody hell. Amazed they’re still going. Have they written anything since the 80s?!?
I did see them back in the day, supporting someone (forget who), they only just had enough material for a half-hour set.

They just seem to do one off gigs now. No new material since mid 90s but 3 albums worth to choose from. They all seem to have regular jobs now so doubt they will make new music or do a full tour.

Went to see Last Dinner Party at Victoria warehouse last night

They've got some great moments, some very interesting work, but they're missing something.... a long way to go for them in my opinion. Second album is going to be hard.

Well at last it's The The tomorrow night
Read that there is no support just 2 different sets
First the new album then a set of older stuff
Cannot wait

Wouldn't want to spoil it but at Cambridge he sang The Whisperers and the older stuff was a bit mellower possibly due to band line up. But overall it was an excellent evening and your in for a treat. Enjoy

They were brilliant on Saturday.

Did a few gigs with Carter USM back in the 90s.

Interesting that. I like a lot of their music, think they are very original and different and their festival appearances have been good. What is missing do you think as I’ve been thinking of trying to go and see them soon. Guardian gave their gig 3/5 too.

I saw the lottery winners this year after a lot of hype and whilst I love the music, I just can’t stomach another night of their lead singer wittering on. Must have spoken for 30% of the gig.

Just got back from Sex Pistols/ Frank Carter
These punk rockers should be made to do conscription I don't know what the world's coming to

 

[york away to this!]

^^^ Ditto. Great gig. Frank played the role well, loads of silly old fuckers in the audience, it was like a care home day out!

Waited 47 years to see the pistols and they didn't disappoint, absolutely blew the roof off the joint .

their music is decent, and as i say the great stuff is really good, but i think the album falls flat in parts. Couple that with the front singer being very annoying to listen to, when she is interacting between songs, that doesnt help. Plus the gig was a shade over 70 mins :( (i know their output is only small at the mo)

Saw hordes of great aeging punks on Oxford Road and sat outside Kro Bar, God Knows what the thousands of new freshers thought.

There has always been bands that are the flavour of the month.
Remember seeing Wet Leg are couple of years and they were everyone's favourite new band (mainly due to Chez- Longue).
Perhaps this tour and their next album will define them ?

It was indeed a treat and everything in the second set seemed true to the recorded versions
Amazing

Thought the Kairos (support for the Pistols) played a decent set. Jingly-jangly scouse types with a bit of attitude.
