Gigs 'n' Tours

Wen to see Hellogoodbye last friday, it was such a fun show! Jst like a big party with happy bouncy music. Really really good, I'd definitely see them again. And it was at Brixton which is my favourite venue by far.
 
Went to see Judge Jules for about two weeks ago on Sunday, when I got to the doors, the bouncer said that he won't be playing tonight, that was quite a dissapointment, however as I had a free entry ticket, it wasn't that bad, I did go in as I wanted to check out the club 'Royal Onnela' , which is Scandinavia's biggest and their age limit is otherwise 24. The place was cool and really big, the music wasn't as cool, Finnish dj Alex Kunnari with K-system had some nice tunes, but most of it was quite boring.

Last week 9.12, I went to see the highly anticipated Tiësto at Studio51 (yes, it's named after Studio 54), also a venue with an age limit of 24 (except for some gigs), so it was cool to check it out, the place was really good for a gig at least for the about 1500 people, I think,.
Anyway, onto the event. Missed the first warm-up artist Käpa. Same Alex Kunnari continued, with a better set, played a few calm ISOS6 tunes and the new track 'Lifter' was pretty good too.

Tiësto played for 3 hours, the first hour was alright, then 'the set' gradually improved a lot, became great and awesome, even if the finishing was a bit weak. Also he played like 6 new songs, but no classics, like 'Traffic' and 'Adagio For Strings', which is however understandable given how often he's played them before. Got a bit sweaty after a while, luckily there were some cooling streams they let in later.
Most of the gig was usual melodic stuff (there were only two vocal-tracks if I remember right), but there were also surprisingly much progressive and 'hard' sounds. Anyway, it was a great night. Also bought pre-sale tickets for Armin's gig which is 3 (2)days before my birthday, cool.

a few photos, from last week's gig and one of Royal Onnela also taken a week ago, since I walked past the club, on my way home.

I only envy you for the Iron Maiden show. And that's only because it's at the hallowed ground :'( I wanna go to Twickenham again.

Whereas the second band was awesome it was these two guys who used all these computers to create some random sounds, coming together to create some awesome Techno rave music, the crowd went crazy for them but no one knows who they were which was really annoying.

They are Simian Mobile Disco

and there ****ing awesome :D
 
Well I have tickets for Aveneged Sevenfold on Jan 24th and Paramore Feb 1st, so those should be good. I'm really looking forward to them actually.
 
30seconds to Mars not far off now woop. Nothing else booking yet for this year! Shock Horror!
 
Cockney Rejects - 9th February - Mean Fiddler (I refuse to call it 'Astoria 2')
Bon Jovi - 22nd February - Manchester City Stadium. Its worth going for the air grabs and key changes alone. And also because Stadium gigs are cool.
Rebellion Festival - April - VIENNA. Whoo.

Same. I don't love Avenged Sevenfold (I used to be obsessed with them in the 'Waking The Fallen' days haha) but my friend got me a ticket and It'll be a fun trip down, so It's worth a go. Brixton Academy if I'm not mistaken?
