Gigs 'n' Tours

Saw Prodigy last week as part of a random small tour themed to the end of the World. The band came on at 30 minutes past midnight on the 21st. Such a fantastic gimmick considering a lot of their music. Their set design was like a dodgy circus which was amazing and in the foyer of the Brixton Academy they had a ringleader just randomly talking to people, was brilliant.
The first act that came out were absolutely dreadful. Then DJ Casper came out and was phenomenal, best DJ set I think i've heard, epic stuff. He played a brilliant remix of a La Roux track and pretty much everyone was singing along, was awesome.
Then Prodigy came out and as usual were absolutely incredible. The sound system was immense, everyone knew every single bit of every song they played, was just an incredible atmosphere. Probably helped that everyone was either on drugs or wasted. It did get a little claustrophobic at times (especially towards the end, we spent the encore at the bar as my friend nearly feinted).
There was an epic moment where they got everyone to go to the floor (like crouch down) and then when the beat "dropped" everyone jumped up, was so freakin' cool.
I think I still preferred their performance at Wembley because it wasn't as crammed and people weren't annoying and their set was a little better imo. But still, incredible atmosphere with amazing music <3

Got myself a ticket to the Saturday of Hard Rock Calling this year. The line-up looks pretty cracking for one day: Kasabian, Weller, Miles Kane and Klaxons (the ones I'm interested in anyway). Will be good to see Kasabian and Miles Kane again and looking forward to seeing the other two for the first time. Now to sort out getting there and back...

I'm off to see Republica in Leeds tomorrow night. There's nothing like the last minute for booking these things.
I've been a fan for years, and I knew they'd reformed a few years back, but they always seemed to be playing obscure little venues down south. Now they're playing obscure little venues up north as well, so I finally get to see them live.

I went to see Green Day for the second time the other day. It was a very good show but I think the first time was better because of the opening act and the fact that these 3 newest albums weren't out yet. The first time they played a lot more older stuff but this time the older stuff was substituted for material from the three new albums. The first time The Bravery opened and this last time some group BestCoast opened. They weren't to bad but The Bravery are way better.

Coming to Wales too see pics. :wink:
Anyway Republica is amazing, one of my favorite bands.
P!nk was amazing. We managed to get pretty close to the front considering we didn't make a stupid effort to get there ridiculously early.
Excellent mix of old and new stuff - secretly a bit sad she didn't do Stupid Girls as that's my favourite of hers, but she did a little medley of There You Go, Most Girls and You Make Me Sick off the first album which made me very happy.
Cool set, lighting, projections etc. and loads of cool flying around on wires and ****, all while singing live.
Basically just an awesome, awesome show.
