A friendly thread for you to post about gigs that you don’t have anyone to go to with, when you would like some company. There’s enough dissers out there that go to things and also plenty of people that have to end up going alone when they’d rather not - so why not set them up! Blind dates for indie gig snobs, if you will
(Obviously solo gigging is perfectly fine, this is just an alternative for people to explore)
Please include the band, city, venue and date in your post so we can have some semblance of order
Thanks! I’ve been meaning to make this thread for literally years as I bail on so many Glasgow gigs because of not having people to go with - and too lazy to go alone. Glad I finally got round to it
@Rolley1982@jeffpistachiomagnum i sometimes do Cardiff as well. Didnt go to Cloud nothings last week despite having a ticket as i just couldnt be arsed to go on my own. Not so bad if support are decent as it keeps me occupied but 9:45pm ko last week and 2 hours to kills before didnt appeal!
Yeah I’ve done it in Edinburgh enough now so I don’t mind doing local ones. But the scene here is pretty dead and a two hour commute to a gig alone ain’t all that appealing usually hah
Also eying up tickets for Jeffrey Lewis and The National - will keep you posted!
@Jimouthargyle also went to the Cloud Nothings show too (partially for the support band Human Heat) but didn’t want to cough up the cash on the day. Definitely around for shows in the future so always feel free to drop us a DM
Yeah this is the same faff when I go to Bristol. Tend to drive too as I’m too old to risk missing the last train these days
@WizardLizard for sure let me know! Haven’t caught up with the last few Jeff albums but his shows have always been so much fun in the past. Weighing up The National gig as the last album hasn’t quite settled with me but I’m sure the gig will be spectacular still.
Never seen either so I think that’s the appeal for me - not been to a bad show at Clwb either! The pricetag and the mixed reviews of the Motorpoint is holding me off The National show atm plus I’m not really sold on Easy to Find either, personally much preferred Sleep Well Beast (though it seems I’m in the minority on this)…
