Gigs retrospective, 2007

[lnr]

I'm really really hoping I just didn't blog some and then completely forgot about them, but in the absence of any other evidence I really only went to 4 gigs this year, and missed a 5th due to the weather. Still despite my embarrassment I'm still posting my list of gigs in 2007. Here's the lists for 2005 and 2006 too.

Here they are as a table of gigs in date order:

---

2007-11-25	The Black Crusade: Shadows Fall, Arch Enemy, Dragonforce, Trivium and Machine Head	Brixton Academy, London
2007-12-07	Jimbob (The indelicates, Subliminal Girls)	The Barfly, Cambridge
2007-12-21	Ezio (none)	The Barfly, Cambridge

I saw Porcupine Tree and Anathema, in November; in 2006 I saw Kenny Young and the Eggplants, in 2005 I saw Kenny Young and the Eggplants and Mitch Benn IIRC. So you beat me by a long way. :D

Were the Indelicates any good? I've been meaning to catch them live at some point.

I didn't know them at all before I went, but yes, I really enjoyed them.

Glenys (who dragged me along to the gig without even mentioning that they were only the second support) says they're better on record than live, but that the live performance has definitely improved over the last 6 months.

Jim Bob was brilliant though, and entirely unexpected. A younger better looking Billy Bragg with a hint of Bob Dylan and really funny.

I only really like one of their tracks on record, but then all I have is a handful I've downloaded from their Myspace page. A decent gig could well swing it for me.

I also gather the female singer is the missing Pipette, who left the band early on, so I'm keen to complete my Eye Spy collection.
