Post a pic of the venue where you saw your first concert and the band..
Corby Festival Hall
The Stranglers
23rd July 1980
It’s very rare I go to a gig on my own. I went Glazyhaze, in London, last month in my own, only because my missus went to a wedding or she would have came also. I also Saw Healees with Pills For Tomorrow and Piss Shivers on my own in Northampton, but it’s only a 25 min drive from where I live.
Great album and they were great live too, when they played the Dreampop and Shoegaze all dayer in November 2024.
I Saw Glare back in February, in London, with Sunnbrella as Support. First time since I was young, gigging, that it was a predominantly young audience. I felt old!
I do prefer their first 2 albums. This one missed out in my top 5.
Will have to give this a listen.
Thanks for the heads up on this. I ordered this album just now (last one).
Should that be ‘we’ have excellent taste! 😉

I’ve signed it.
Great tune. Very Cure-esque.
I made massive savings again, this year - by not buying anything!
How many new ones from their latest album did they perform, Paul?
Forgot about I break horses. Very lazy of me.
Very lazy of them too for never touring/ gigging!
Slightly embarrassed that my 1 and 2 picks I only discovered during Covid lockdown.

1. Diiv- Oshin
2. Ringo Deathstarr - Colour Trip
3. Two Door Cinema Club - Tourist History
4. Alt-J - An Awesome Wave
