It's going to be a night of UTTERLY HILARIOUS slip-ups like that......

Never come across Wavves before, their myspace shall be investigated before I go.

London Shunt Vaults, 11th March

Fuck, it's my birthday on that date!

Anything happening in the days just before and after May 8-10th?

One shall be attending:
Roundhouse
14 MARCH 2009
Q-Tip

Gilles Peterson presents the first in his 2009 series of Worldwide 10 events to celebrate 10 years of his groundbreaking Radio 1 show. Q-Tip is the man who first came to public attention with the seminal Tribe Called Quest and has since released 3 solo albums and worked with J-Dilla, Erykah Badu, the Chemical Brothers and even Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. This is his first UK live show for 10 years and is hot on the heels of the release of his new album ‘The Renaissance’, widely reckoned to be his best solo album yet. Gilles invited him to play at the first of his WW10 events as a result of Q-Tip winning the Single of the Year at the recent Worldwide Awards.

Yeah - my birthday.

Jesus McFuck!

It's a buggering shame I'm not going to be around for that.

Thanks for the (Q-)tip, but I was more thinking about 2-3 days, not 2-3 months...

Thanks for reminding me, it's my mum's birthday on the 7th.

misread the month

Holy Fuck on the 14th of May, Scala. Good shit at the roundhouse in the days following it.

Thanks, but Shellac are playing the 14th in Paradiso... I doubt you could find me a better gig that night.

But check out the stuff I posted back a few pages, the gigs in the days following Holy Fuck/Shellac. BBC radiophonic workshop etc

I definitely won't be around by then, maybe I should've clarified more.
I'm only looking for gigs happening just before/after ATP, because I think I'm going.

Not necessarily just in London even... Bristol or Brighton for instance would be OK too if it's something really worthwile.

Which ATP?

Well, the one that's from May 8-10th. :)
(i.e. with Sleep, the Wizard and the Lizard)


Message to the people who are attending: You better start voting for some more decent bands, or I will burn down your chalets.

Thats right folks, at the same bleedin' awful gay club I was at on Friday, and that yesturday hosted the delights of 'Duffy', you will find:

Throbbing Gristle / S.C.U.M
