Concert Fun

Simon, James and Jem (of Thantcher's Children) were at Louisiana to see Gravenhurst support Charlotte Hatherley. A solo performance involving a Les Paul and a modest pedal board, it was the first time I'd seen him play since Ashton Court a few years ago - a really nice gig; 'Black Holes In The Sand' wrapping things up very nicely.

It got us thinking about our favourite recent gigs and bands (I can exclusively reveal that Simon does not like Keane). So, in no partcular order, gigs we've enjoyed recently:

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah at Birminghm Academy
Broken Family Band at the Thekla
Peter, Bjorn, and John at Koko
Gravenhurst at Louisiana
Shellac, Isis, Trans Am, The Woods and The Thermals at ATP
Joan As Policewoman

Gravenhurst

James and Jem are off to see Deerhoof in Cardiff this weekend - we are very excited about this.
Ben is going to see Brad Meldau and Pat Metheny the weekend after. The rest of Yanu is jealous.
