Soundstation Festival, Birmingham, 28th May
Gigs // Jim // 1st June 2006
A bunch of bands play at the new park in the middle of Birmingham, the weather was good and I saw loads of different types of trains.
The Flaming Lips, Birmingham, 24th April
Gigs // Jim // 26th April 2006
A band so good they made me happy for a full 24 hours - A new UK record. I’m saying that the “Wayne Coyne for President” band-wagon starts here, imagine the victory parade.
The Concretes, Birmingham Academy 2, 5th April
Gigs // Jim // 10th April 2006
A small crowd in a small venue listen to eight swedish people make a lot of very nice noise. Plus their singer is really quite miserable, albeit in a sort of endearing way.
The Mighty Boosh Live at Warwick Arts Centre
Gigs // Nick // 15th March 2006
Wacky humour surrealists off the telly turn up to make jokes about being raped by rabbits and how to properly mime opening a door. Good fun all round.
The Rakes / White Rose Movement at Wolverhampton Wulfrun, Feb 2nd 2006

Belle and Sebastian, Birmingham Academy, 26th January 2006
Gigs // Jim // 8th February 2006
Yeah, I meant to do this last week but got repeatedly waylaid by the bloody pub. Supposed Scottish indie-ponces wreak triumph at the academy much to my pleasant surprise. Ooh get me away I’m dying…
Art Brut @ Birmingham Bar Academy
Gigs // Jim // 14th November 2005
This was ages ago, but what with one thing and another mumble, mumble, excuses, excuses. I must get better at spotting musical celebs in bar situations though, thats what I learnt
Notification: MPE Band @ Moo Bar, Sunday Night (2nd October)
Gigs // Jim // 1st October 2005
Sorry, I’ve been too busy to put this up sooner. Get that spiky haircut sorted, squeeze into those distressed jeans and stroll up to the Moo Bar for a pleasant musical interlude tomorrow evening to calm you down before another week at work.
Super Furry Animals at Birmingham Acadamy 20/09/2005
Gigs // Jim // 24th September 2005
Following on from the cracking album reviewed below, we popped over to check out the live stylings of the SFA at the venue that keeps the UK not quite a pint plastic cup industry in business.
Cropredy Festival - Revenge of the Hippy
Gigs // Nick // 21st August 2005
Nick cuts loose of the squares and heads enjoy the laid back vibes of the nearest available free-range, organic, folk festival. Have your beard, banjo and jazz cigarettes at the ready on arrival…
