Gigs coming up in the near future. Shout if you fancy going!
- Tool
- NIN
- Sunn O))))
- Boris
- Kana
Sunn O)))) and Boris are very peculiar. They come from a genre nobody in their right mind has ever heard of – Drone Metal – and, according to the most enthusiastic of their connoisseurs, they’re best tasted live so I shall be making the treacherous journey to the far north to see them. Kentish Town. It’s fucking miles away and full of complete twunts. At least last time I went. I’m looking forward to it immensely since it will be a noisy and terrible assault on my ears and that kind of thing usually leaves me grinning.
The NIN concert is even further away. It’s not even in London. Wolverhampton of all places. It’s like a town that got eaten by Birmingham but still has its own football team. Nine Inch Nails are playing a make-up gig there on account of Trent Reznor losing the ability to sing (no jokes please) in the middle of the UK leg of his last tour. The rumour is that the new gigs are showcasing songs from the Year Zero album which wasn’t the case last time they visited. If so, top notch, and I can’t wait.
Tool is next week tonight. Sold out. Will be awesome, as usual. Hopefully won’t get stuck standing behind some shit with massive head-expanding dreadlocks and a top hat, as I usually seem to. Might write something about it if I get inspired.
Kana, professional loligoth mentalist, is finally coming to the UK and playing the worryingly-large-for-her Underworld venue in Camden. She was fantastic in Germany and will be fantastic to see her again. She’s just stupidly cute and a lot of fun on stage, so we’ll see how that goes. I suspect it’ll just be me and Choco in the audience, though.
