I have probably seen The Gentle Good (aka Gareth Bonello) more times than most things I have seen this year. I rate him so much I was up for seeing him play twice in one day last Saturday. What a talented man. I have been lucky enough to have had a copy of his album for a while now and it hasn't gone more than a coupla days between giving it a listen. I rate it so much I am actually going to buy a legitimate copy of the album 'While you slept I went out Walking' when it gets a proper release...... actually... Its available from Spillers now as it goes. I'm gonna pick up a copy on't weekend.
Here is a photo of him doing the instore in Spillers
I even live streamed his instore here see:
And I took a picture of him playing his beautiful gig in the Norweigan Church see:
Im not weird. Im not stalking Gareth (well maybe on saturday it would appear as if I was)... Anyway, even if I was stalking him, its justified. Listen for yourself and i'm sure you'll all be off down the shop tommorow morning to get a broadsheet newspaper and to do this with around his work place (which i have in no way been doing).
Go and buy his album from here (not available from anywhere else yet). It's beautiful
This is happening now!
Live blogging from Spillers offa my phone! Go go gadget Lou!
This gig was by far the best thing I have seen this year. It is one of the best things I have probably seen ever. Pretty special.
I had only heard Efterklang over Ash's house and online a bit before watching them tonight, so I had no idea how good they were going to be. A 7 piece band where all but 1 sings and plays more than one instrument! There was electronic beats, recorders, piano, one of those keyboard things that you blow into with your mouth.... and thats not all.... so much going on. So exceptionally mind blowing. I literally had my mouth open in amazement for a lot of the time. They were so good, I even joined in with everyone clapping rhythmically and I NEVER do that EVER especially not smiling like some mental, like I was.
Definitely buying their latest album next time i'm in Spillers. I woulda brought it tonight, but I spent all my money on a beautiful t-shirt (£15 - yes I did love them that much).
Its the best thing when your watching a band and they are so good that you smile. This has happened a few times recently. Errors, Dead Meadow, Right Hand Left Hand, Unkle, Hot Chip. Man I have been to see some bands this year already. I fuckin love music. I was trying to work out what percentage of my waking day I spend listening to music on average. I dunno, its high. Today has got to be at least 90% possibly 95%... Honestly... Just look at my last.fm charts. And thats not including vinyl and gigs..... I'm an addict fo'sure. Music = natures drugs!
A jaunt to Bristol tomorrow to see Holy Fuck! I cannot wait! I love their album so bad!
