Just felt like sharing that. Thanks.
Think you’ve seen it all tbh no point going to any more
That’s a fair few, mate. More than most, i’d suggest.
How were Sunshine Underground? Regret missing them back in the day.
They were good, fucking love Borders
Some big bangers, those boys had.
Never really liked The Black Keys except Your Touch, which they played last. So that was alright.

Looks like you might be due another one soon, can you imagine that happening?
‘The magnificent seven’
Gigs are rubbish, on the whole.

The Michael Owen of gigs
Good band, saw them loads in 2015 in particular.
Did they split up?
I got one of their albums in a sale a few months ago, that was nice.
Yeah they marked their 10th anniversary a couple of years ago by breaking up. Think the last album took them a while to finish and they were on to their third drummer so I can see why they might have run their course.
Singer has made a couple of electronic albums as Group Zero since but otherwise seems to be quite happy to have given it all up and get really into cycling instead.
Bassist is in New Pagans, guitarist has had a few different projects, Grave Goods most notably but left them recently.
Which album did you get? That Vinyl Tap website has a lot of their stuff quite cheap.
Arms Around a Vision - there’s a shop here that has a perpetual 2 for £22 sale, sometimes quite a lot of random stuff turns up in it.
(Had the Grave Goods one in it as well recently - didn’t know that link. I got that cheap somewhere else.)
Disaster
That’s tremendous by the way
