for the 9th of July is Babyshambles, Secret Machines, 22:20's, The Redwalls.

Rubbish.

that is a bit of a let down

as are oasis. got my tickets today but i have to post them to my auction winner.

Who on earth are all of those? (appart from babyshambles, of course)

Kill the scummer!  :wink:  You heard the new album OF?

No ide.  I've already seen Babyshambles too, so i'm a tad disappointed.

22-20s are pretty good, better than Oasis I reckon.

All these bands will get a bad reaction as it's Oasis fans.

that does seem to be a wierd thing with oasis fans that I've not noticed with any other band i can think of.

Many have very closed minds and arnt willing to give any support band a chance.

listened to it up to the track after layla.

Just listening to secret machines now, recognise one of the tracks so far. (Road leads where it's led)

I resesnt that.  I said in another thread that I'd prefer new bands that oasis have chosen themselves rather than the Manics/Ian Brown.

I'm all for being exposed to new bands.

That annoyed me at Finsbury.  Proud Mary and The Coral weren't greeted with open arms, yet i thought they both put in good supporting performances.  SOOL were rubbish though.  I can't remember BRMC's reaction, but i remember they were awesome.

I was'nt refering to you specifically Tom, I'm partial to a bit of oasis myself and have seen them before.

There is a moronic element to an oasis crowd that isnt there for any other band i've seen though

I know you weren't aiming that at me PM.  

Tits!  I've just noticed that The Coral are supporting on Sunday. :cry:

I'd have liked to see them.

Two points:

1. I think Kinky Tom has a very closed mind and isn't willing to give any support band a chance.

2. Liam Gallagher, in his way is almost as big a cunt as Harry Kewell.

:angry:

:mrgreen:

How did I ever function before this site? :mrgreen:

I suspect you found it only just in time :|

Just been listening to the Redwalls.  They're not bad at all.  I think they will get a good reception.  Secret Machines seem OK too, but don't stand out so much.

I think Il stay in the pub for all those then. At Finsbury Park I saw BRMC followed by THE CHARLATANS! What a support act. Whilst BRMC are (were?) substandard their sound did transfer well to the open air stages.

The pubs around a big Oasis gig remind me of what it was like drinking in certain London pubs before England Wembley games. The Globe anyone?

Saturday at Manchester is supposed to be a big ITK meet.

I forget Spencer, where are you going?  MK on the 9th?

Manchester on saturday mate. I might go up for MK on saturday with a different crowd, depends how much I enjoy the 1st one.

Im going to regret not going for Hampden park.

I have a Secret Machines album and I have to say its very good. Apparently they supported the Chemical Brothers in Glasgow and my mate who went to the gig was impressed.

Theres a four hour time limit for me standing about drinking lager from paper cups and pissing in cess pits. Il brave it for Oasis, but not any old band.

Im not one for the long haul. I went to Reading once and thought it was shit. Not my thing. I love gigs down Brixton academy and the like. Quality sound, good crowd, solid floor, pissers 30 seconds away. Away within the half hour.  :nod:

I saw the 22-20's supporting The Thrills last year, they were distinctly dull, average and very wishy-washy. The only support band that stood out that night was Razorlight :/

Coral for my one. Not overly bothered.

Doves are on the Sunday. http://67.18.37.16/525/186/emo/mad.gif Might stay up actually got mates with excess tickets for both nights.   :guinness:

If I were you I'd stay to see the Doves mate.

May well do.

Just a logistical nightmare at the minute. Iv got to book a hotel in Bolton, but I just cant be fucked. May do train on the day (££££), only time you'll ever get raped by a Virgin. ( :x ).

Definitely stay for that, Oasis and Doves on the same bill in their hometown will be superb.

22-20's were dull in comparison to the Thrills?! They musty be shocking then!

The Thrills are ace 8) Admittedly, a freezing cold weeknight in February at Brixton Academy isn't the best time to see them...

No, they're shit.

they're ace  :x  :evil:

well, you are wrong, my friend...  :wink:
