Suck It And See, Arctic Monkeys new album, is very good. Can see their influence of QOTSA more and more.

It's under the Railway arches, decent enough venue. Seen some great gigs there over the years (Kaisers, Travis, QOTSA, Rilo Kiley, etc)

Been in lurk mode for a couple of seasons. Been totally effed off with the club TBH. Maybe I'm a fool, but slightly optimistic for 2012.

X factor on for Mrs Bones so I've retired to the noise room . Artists so far ...

Massive Attack

Massive Attack's 'Unfinished Sympathy' all time classic - imo.

Quote ="Hazzer"Don't bloody say Duchess is better, I do the bookings for Fibbers lol. The best band around at the minute in my opinion is Dry the River, they wont ever achieve stardom but will become of the most respected bands around. They will achieve a similar level to Beruit I think. Pulled Apart By Horses are amazing live. I will always love Little Comets, worked with them since forever and I think they are awesome. Vintage Trouble were incredible at Fibbers before, I still have some tickets left for Lincoln show if anybody wants any, PM me. Stuff that I think will do well in 2012 is The Holidays - www.facebook.com/theholidaysband Walk the Moon - www.facebook.com/walkthemoon Venice - www.facebook.com/veniceofficial And if anyone wants to tell me they are rubbish, I get paid to have good music taste so shush :p'" I have mine already. I couldn't go to the York gig and thought I'd missed my chance. I'm expecting a great night. I'll check out a few of the links and names you've mentioned over the next few days.

Booked for Big Country at Leeds o2 Academy on Feb 9th,
Anyone know how many minutes walk from the train station,is it safe walking round there late at night,cloakroom facilities i.e whats the queues usually like at the end of gigs so i can judge my getaway time?

It's no more than 15 minutes max, we've walked it many times, it's not far from millennium square which is usually well populated. Definitely cloakroom facilities. Not a clue about the queues as we're usually heading for the O'Neill's bar around the corner

Cheers Locko

The Stranglers are opening their tour there too on 1st March

I just want Shed Seven tickets!

Saw them last time round in Sheffield - Amazing live.

At the time it was the best gig I'd been to, then saw Stereophonics a few months later (second time). Blew me away.

Incubus next tomorrow night.

Saw Arctic monkeys on Saturday at Newcastle, a lot better then I expected them to be. Wasn't a huge fan more of a go for the ride sort of gig. Got RHCP at MEN a week on Tuesday then finish the year off with Kasabian at Nottingham in December.

Still need to sort next years festivals out !

RHCP For me next week

looking forward to december in a big way..
white lies 13th manchester...
echo and the bunnymen 17 liverpool...
shed seven 22nd york....

Antisect .. Please bring some Anarchy to Hull.

First saw Echo & the Bunnymen at Sheffield city Hall in 1981(?) support act was Modern Eon, my memory of the concert was " dissapointed" perhaps after 30 years they have polished the act up.

Best gig York University - The Skids - Adamson & Jobson at their best also circa 81

Shed seven anything to do with S club Se7en?

Bruce Springsteen headlining London Calling again this year and throwing in some other gig inbetween too

Hoping to see him at Etihad on 22nd June, if I can get disabled viewing tickets

The killing moon is one of the best songs I've ever heard.

THE CUTTER has one of the best intro,s ever

Had an awesome weekend: Vintage Trouble in Lincoln on Friday. A very intimate gig with a few hundred or so.. Check them out on youtube.
Alter Bridge in Newcastle was soo different, full of wannabe rockers (including me)

Support act for Vintage Trouble was Kill It Kid, very impressive indeed.

Has anyone checked out Dry the River yet? Soooooooo good.

By the way, Judge Jules is in Hull in Dec, could be good.

enjoyed alter bridge and walter trout last week. kasabian up next and i think miles kane is supporting so should be a good night

The Duchess York
Sultans of Ping are coming to The Duchess - Sat 12th May 2012
