Tubelord at the Brudenell tonight.

Lostprophets tour annouced for April - fanclub presale starts today. Minnions like myself will be able to purchase tickets on Friday

I used to absolutely love them when I was younger, but felt they kind of lost their edge after the debut album.

I remember seeing them play at a gig about 10 years ago and it was pretty crazy in the crowd. I ended up getting something like heat exhaustion and temporarily lost my vision for about 5 minutes. Was pretty scary, had to manoeuvre my way through the crowd without actually being able to see anything so that I could find a wall to lean against and cool/calm myself down.

Crikey



LP are on my list of "I want to see once" bands - every other time they have toured I have either havent managed to get tickets or the dates have been unsuitable

Saw LP at Doncaster Dome in 2006 and enjoyed them but haven't really been overly impressed with subsequent output to consider bothering again.

If they played 'The Fake Sound Of Progress' in it's entirety I would be all over this tour. Sadly, they are a boy band nowadays.

Lostprophets have always been naff live. Add to that they are too busy checking their hair out, they just aren't worth it.

They are almost as big of a let down as Finch at the first Give it a Name.

Lostprophets were truly awesome on the tailend of the start something tour, just after coming back from US successfully, all down hill from there

Rediscovered 'Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness' this weekend. Seminal work.

Just bought 'El Camino' by The Black Keys, absolutely fantastic album!

Band I manage go on their first tour next week. If you can make a show, come say hello!

Nothing decent from this country in years.

Really DMW?

If you want something truly new and truly great, look up The Jim Jones Revue. Described as punk rock blues, they tear a hole in rock and roll, and Mr Jones himself is a very nice and knowledgeable chap with a real passion for music.
They're comfortably the most exciting band I've heard in many years.


Do not approach if you like laid back sounds....

Went to see Mastodon in Manchester last night. Probably the tightest live band I've ever seen. The sound was horrendous from start to finish though.

Good call that man.

A friend told me about them, so I went straight on iTunes. (not a fan of downloading music as I'm pretty old fashioned but it is handy).

Great band. Hopefully they'll do a uk tour this year.

Very lazy comment.

Depending in what music your into there are lots of great British bands out there. Signed and unsigned.

It may take a little re-search as it's now the case that if your not in the X factor or manufactured by record execs then you struggle to get much main stream exposure.

Playing Preston's 53 Degrees on 19 April. Should be great.

I was lucky enough to do an interview with Jim Jones himself last week, it's what got me listening to their stuff again. His passion for music in general is amazing, everything from Delta blues through 60s Garage, Northern Soul, Punk, Bluegrass and more is astounding. I was sat there trying to do my serious music writer bit and he's dropping in all these labels and artists I had to rush off and check up on later. Pah, who needs an encyclopedic knowledge of brilliant but obscure artists anyway?

I'm hoping to see them this year too, I've heard nothing but good things about their shows and they're on my 'MUST see' list.

[iMad Man Moon[/i and [iRipples[/i for me this morning. First time in about 30 years.

They are playing at Manchester Rugby Club, Cheadle on 2nd of June. Hopefully I'll be able to get to that.

Not playing anywhere me at the moment. I had the offer of free tickets for Le Beat Bespoke, wish I'd taken them now

Agreed, if you like a bit of shoegaze theres some great unsigned bands coming through. Personal picks would be TOY and Black Market Karma
