Michael* Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Another new Ladyhawke Have you ever seen Ladyhawke live, Don? She's headed my way in May. Currently very tempted to get myself a ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donbot Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share Posted April 21, 2012 ^Once, a few years ago when she was touring her first record. It wasn't the most amazing gig, but I can blame most of that on the shit venue.. which never fails to draw in a certain percentage of douchebags She was good though - definately worth seeing. I've got a ticket to see her this July too actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael* Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 ^There shouldn't be any worries on that front - the venue in question (the Gateshead Sage) is equal parts concert hall and school assembly. I think I might go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donbot Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 First thing from Missy Higgins in a good while, and it's awesome! Pretty new fresh sound for her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael* Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 ^Not an artist I'm at all familiar with, but I like the sound of that one. So apparently, a new album by Metric is due in May. If like me you're a raging Emily Haines addict, this is great news. Looks like they're 'doing a Hives' in terms of keeping their return low-key though.

Michael* Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Random cover version corner: Caitlin Rose (me neither) does Arctic Monkeys/Alex Turner's 'Piledriver Waltz' in countrified fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donbot Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 New Metric = awesome ^Not an artist I'm at all familiar with, but I like the sound of that one. She was a bit of a breakout artist over here in the early/mid 2000s, and had a few pretty big singles - "Scar" being the first, and biggest. I used to listen to her first record a lot, but was kind of over her by the time her second came out. This new single (which is the first thing she's released in about 5 years) has me interested again though. It's a pretty new sound for her, and I really hope the rest of the album follows suit She's always been incredibly sweet and down to earth though, and I like that she sings in an Australian accent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donbot Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 ^(Y) I saw Whitley the other night. He's been in hiding for the past couple of years, but it's great to see him back with some new material. Looking forward to seeing a new album from him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael* Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Here's a bit of new material by St. Vincent - not sure if it'll be in any way indicative of how the next album might sound (it's a one-off single recorded for Record Store Day) but still, it's quite the departure from 'Strange Mercy'.

Michael* Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Awful news about Adam Yauch today. Pretty much everybody likes the Beastie Boys, and there are few people in music you could honestly say that about. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
