Yeah I have seen that they are touring. Its previewing songs from they're forthcoming album released in January.

They're going to be announcing a full tour next year which I will no doubt get tickets for, to add to the 3 times I have already seen them.

After pretty much a year of diddly squat, been to a couple of things recently, comedy & music.

Going to see Red Snapper tomorrow.
Death In Vegas In December.
Thinking about Roots Manuva in January, and also see Portico Quartet are playing Brum Town Hall next year too.

Underworld have 2 new collections coming out (bit strange they are). Really hope they tour - missed them on their last tour.

We to see Mariachi El Bronx last night. One of my gigs of the year. If you get a chance go and see them at the Slade Rooms 18th December.

Off to see The Lines next weekend at the Wulfrun Hall.

Love both those bands. Saw MeB in the scorching Glastonbury heat with a cool pint of cider. Great memories.

Unfortunately I have no memory of seeing them at Glastonbury. I blame Brothers.

I was on the Burrow Hill for that one.

Cracking performance nonetheless. It was too early in the day to be massively affected by the booze.

I didn't catch their main performance at Glastonbury, but saw a very late night set at Strummerville.

They played early on at the West Holts in 2010.

I blame Brothers.

Google Music and Amazon MP3 were having massive sales yesterday, so I bought maybe 30 new albums. And I just want you all to know that I now legally own every Coldplay album. Cheers!
