The Republic of Heaven

this thread seemed pretty popular in the temp forum so i thought i might introduce it again.

feel free to rave on about immense gigs, tours or concerts that you've been to, or slate them if they're rubbish.
ask if so and so are any good live.
etc. etc.

so i'll start, anyone seen the zutons? i'm thinking of seeing them in march. worth it or not?

Wonderfully convenient that you'd create this thread. I'm seeing the Zutons tomorrow at Earl's Court in London - they're supporting Muse.

Lucky ~*dugong*~. Say hi to Will for me.

I'll be the one at the back sitting on a home brought stool.

lucky, lucky, lucky!

i live in a bloody awful place for musc. i have to go to manchester or birmingham. i was lucky that razorlight played at keele. ah, can't belive that was in september, i really need to go and see someone, i'm getting gig withdrawel symptoms. (local bands just aren't the same)

rememeber to tell me what the zuts are like.

I want to see Franz Ferdinand live really, really badly. I hope they come to Philly or Harrisburg this coming year.

Wow, I didn't know you were going...

*Checks numbers on ticket*... Yup, you definitely are. Well, see you there .

Well, I missed Green Day, they came through Portland last month, but I was busy with midterms, of course.

BAH! You guys have it easy. England's tiny - if your favourite band is playing in another part of the country, it's not exactly difficult to get there (I know public transport is terrible, excuses excuses ).

Most bands play quite a few shows in England.. if I lived there I'd follow them around to every venue. When you live in Perth, though, the only way you can go to another show (if they come to Perth at all, that is), is if you spend $500 on a plane ticket to Adelaide.. or more for the East Coast..

You guys have it easy. EASY.

I forced him to go. The ticket I just posted wasn't his, by the way, just some random one in someone's sig on the Muse forum..

My housemates were at Muse last night.
You're in for a treat, by all accounts.
I can't afford gigs at the moment, which depresses me hugely. Scissor Sisters' Hallowe'en gig at Brixton was vair good though.

franz ferdinand that's a band I gotta see any one seen them live?

yup, the zutons aren't my favourites, but a couple of their songs are really good, and i need to see somebody, and the tickets are available, so...

ah, franz ferdinand would be ace! but i don't think they're doing any gigs soon, well they're not on the gigandtours website, and that's where i usually look.

Check out the Muse setlist for last night..

* Hysteria
* Butterflies And Hurricanes
* New Born
* Sing For Absolution
* Muscle Museum
* Citizen Erased
* Ruled By Secrecy
* Sunburn
* Thoughts Of A Dying Atheist
* The Small Print
* Time Is Running Out
* Plug In Baby
* Bliss
* Dead Star
* Micro Cuts
* Apocalypse Please
* Stockholm Syndrome

Dead Star and Micro Cuts IN A ROW. I'll just kill myself now, thanks.

*Cries that she doesn't live in the UK*

I'm going to see Bill Bailey tonight, if that counts.

Bill Bailey aka man that looks like a Klingon if he interlinks his fingers and puts them on his head? That guy rocks! So funny in "Black Books" (appeared in "Spaced") and that sci-fi quiz show that didn't last long...

moi meme, i think i'm dragging out my best friend, even though she doesn't like franz so much.

Well, I think Will and Ali should be watching Muse by now.. or The Zutons or Secret Machines..

Hope you guys are having fun.

I want to see Franz Ferdinand, but they're not coming here.

I saw Green Day in November, was awesome.

tis only quater to seven, muse won't be on yet. *cries* i really really want to be there. you reckon we could book them for srafcon? tehe, probably not.

There's a streaming of it, but I can't be bothered staying up, I'll just download it later (I'm sure it'll be up somewhere). Plus I think it's going to be a new live DVD like Hullabaloo.
