[lnr]

So I've got tickets for the following already:

• 2006-01-10 OK Go, The Metro Club, Soho
• 2006-01-30 Richard Thompson, Cornex
• 2006-02-03 Bauhaus, Brixton Academy
• 2006-03-18 Sultans of Ping, Garage, London
• 2005-04-07 Less Than Jake, Astoria
• 2005-04-21 Whitby Goth Weekend (well ok, just the cottage so far, but I *will* do)
• 2006-05-07 MFATGG, Astoria
• 2006-08-25 Reading Festival

Ernie and I are trying to get hold of tickets for the NME tour, and thinking of doing one and possibly two Reel Big Fish gigs:

• 2006-01-27 ? RBF, peterborough
• 2006-02-12 ? NME awards tour, Cornex
• 2006-02-21 ? RBF, electric ballroom

So obviously I need tickets for more gigs right? Wanna join me for any of the following? [Poll #647647]

Ah, and APU have updated their gigs list finally, looks like they plan to have an indie band followed by indie club every Thursday, with the following confirmed:

• 2006-01-26 The Kooks
• 2006-02-02 Rainstar
• 2006-02-09 The Modern
• 2006-02-16 Big Head Media
• 2006-02-23 Wolfmother
• 2006-03-09 ¡Forward Russia!

I really quite fancy seeing The Modern again actually, so comment if you fancy that one, and I've at least heard of ¡Forward Russia! so that might be worth checking out.

NME tour now completely sold out (http://www.seetickets.com/nme/event.asp?showname=awards&filler1=nme) - I had looked earlier this evening.

Oh it has been since it was announced. I'm trying to get tickets on ebay at not *too* extortionate a price. I'm not holding out a lot of hope. We'll probably try asking the touts on the night if we don't have any success this way.

I would be up for Sultans-ing with you - I'll try to get a ticket tomorrow.

Hurray!

I've managed to fail to see the Broken Family Band about 3 times now. It'd be nice to break the jinx ;)

I'm up for The Modern, people keep recommending them.

I've also had a couple of recommendations for the Dresden Dolls, but seeing as it's so far off (also, gig prices often hurt) I think I'll see whether I can get my hands on some actual music before I commit.

*Might* be along to WGW, too, but it's a bit close to Eastercon so I haven't deceided yet.

Oo! Bauhaus. Might have to get organised for that one too.

You'll be lucky with Bauhaus: I bought my ticket in November after C-J mentioned it to me, and I think they were nearly sold out back then.

Last time I checked the D. Dolls had live videos on their website.

you have reading tickets _already_??

[lnr]

Bought them as an "early bird" in september. Festivals often seem to release a few at this year's price straight after they've taken place. You have to be pretty sure you want to go and able to afford to live without the cash for the intervening 6 months before they go on sale proper though.

Grumble, grumble, Broken Family Band's on yoga night. Can I break my routine I ask myself :)

I'm half curious about the Dresden Dolls but not quite sure I wouldn't just get annoyed at them being pretentious.
