Melt Banana @ Rebellion tonight... absolute carnage, 60 minutes of mental energy, loved it, ears are ringing like fuck now though. Had a great time at EOTR festival at the weekend, hope you enjoyed it aswell Jimmy? Highlights for me were Jockstrap, CMAT, Slowdive, Phosphorescent, King Hannah, Nation of Language, Casisdead, Sleater Kinney and Floating Points. Didn't see a bad set all weekend though tbh. People and weather were great too as usual. Already bought tickets for next year. Sorry for the delayed review on EOTR...had to miss all of Sunday due to a very ill dog at home. I saw everything Dom did except for anything on the Sunday although I chose Richard Hawley (who was great) over Slowdive. Special mentions also to Curtis Harding and the great Lemon Twigs, plus Norwich country rockers Brown Horse. Saw Laetitia Sadier, Ricahrd Dawson and Bonnie Prince Billy on the Thursday evening and they were all great. I kicked myself for missing an early morning chat by Joe Boyd and would have attempted to see Stewart Lee on Sunday lunch.

They were queueing two hours for Stewart Lee and still not getting in so you didn't miss much there mate, daft scheduling. BPB was ace, was glad to tick him off tej list. Thought Woods stage a touch too big for Richard Dawso, was good but not as good as hid garden set a few years back. brown horse were great I agree

A cracking night on a sliding scale, The Bites for me best band , full on set energetic and loved every second. Treatment very good but do feel their momentum has lapsed, decent songs and delivered well. I didn't last for all of Dead Daisies,bit soulless for me, done well but too many covers dropped in and left me a bit cold even if they're consummate professionals. Special mention for Doug Aldrich's glorious hair, blimey he's more Harmony Hairspray than the adverts

Got two stupidly cheap tickets for The Dead Daisies at O2 Ritz Manchester on Tuesday going spare. PM for details if anyone's interested. Going to see Aussie blues artist Kara Grainger at The Garibaldi in Northampton today. 3pm matinee show (that's a new one on me)

Dead Daisies were awesome last night, not done a full blooded rock gig like this for a while so it was a re-education watching some of the attendees Eight quid a pint was a bit of a shock to the system as well

On my way home from the first gig in over 10 years from Moby at Manchester Apollo.
Started off very strongly and probably a bit more ravey than most would have anticipated, which was great but he did throw out 'Go' two songs in, which was a bit of a waste imo
Did lose the crowd on more than one occasion which led to the inevitable crowd chatter and there was an odd cover of Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash late on which was a bit weird.
Decent gig overall but again spoilt by the talkers, in particular 3 absolute pricks near us who spoke through the entire show. I spoke to one of them about it but he was oblivious to as to why I was annoyed. Had to walk off in the end.Such a prick.
The Apollo hasn't moved on at all in terms of speed of service (or price for that matter) since I last went, which didn't help. All the O2 venues seem to be eye wateringly expensive these days. Will have to be a special gig to get me back there in a hurry.
6/10
