Coventry gigs (6 Viewers)

[lordy_87]

Thought I'd start a thread covering gigs in cov, updating when shows are announced. Starting with popular American emo rock band All Time Low announcing an acoustic set at the empire on the 12th March.



As per usual The Tin (canal basin) and Drapers Hall are always announcing bits and pieces with lesser known acts.

Everyone feel free to update when they hear about upcoming gigs and let us know if they were any good !

Great idea.

 

[Otis]

Fargo have artists on too

 

[torchomatic]

I've got two booked for later in the year at Fargo.

 

[Si80]

Terrorvision are playing the Empire in June. An absolute treat live.

Fab. Cheers Torch. You are forever bringing new bands into my world.

 

[Otis]

The only band I know of out of all those is Warrington Runcorn New Town Development Plan.

The others are good too. Field Lines Cartographer is great as are Concretism and Twelve Hour Foundation. All worth seeking out.

Listened to them all last night. It was just the other band I had heard of though. The others were all new to me.

Yeah, I liked them all.

Leamington Assembly have some crackers this year. Already got tickets for Peter Hook, Pokey Lefarge and Fun Lovin’ Criminals.
Tomorrow night London Calling, a clash tribute, play the London calling album in its entirety at the Empire. Hopefully I can shake this shitty flu in time so I can go.

Half man half biscuit as well. Though I'll be in some Blackpool slop house when that's on.

Lame to fame. Hit the lead singer under the right armpit with a mud pie at the 1996 Reading festival.

London calling is 17th march according to this? Overview | Ticket Shop

Yeah it’s been rearranged

 

[hill83]

I can’t compare to my dads era, but compared to my era there’s so much more on now.

 

[chiefdave]

This will either be great or turn in to a disaster with loads of pissed up idiots who have been drinking all day kicking off.

Enemy headlining the Godiva on the Friday night.

Already at a gig in London so will miss out on what should be a good night.

 

[LastGarrison]

I’ve never actually seen them live as a band!

Saw Tom Clarke when he played Godiva on his own and was great so really looking forward to this.

Also, quite a clever ploy to get the Friday packed out as it is usually a lot quieter than the Saturday.

Obviously, people are going to moan as always but for me just that one announcement already makes a weekend ticket great value without having to hear any others be announced!

 

[LastGarrison]

Also, big shout out to The Empire for continually putting on free gigs!

And a shameless plug for my good mate Danny Ansell and his band who will be playing on 19th May and supported by some great Coventry talent! And to top it all off it’s free!!

 

[Bugsy]

Rudimental and Ella Eyre on Saturday night at Godiva,

 

[Otis]

Have to say, I am very very disappointed with the line-up so far for the Godiva.

There are always bands I really like. Pretty much anyway

Can't say I have heard of hardly any of these to be honest.

I usually give acts a chance to be honest, so always check out artists I have never heard of. Just listened to the K's and found them a bit meh, but okayish and then also Cruel Hearts Club, who I thought were okay and a bit better than the K's. There was one song of theirs I actually really liked. The rest were just okay.

I don't like Rudimental. Just not my type of music at all, but I don't mind the Enemy.

Hopefully there will be some acts still to be announced who I will like.

Had planned to bring my missus up and her daughters, to try and impress them. Not sure they will be too impressed thus far though.

 

[Mr Panda]

I’ll go Friday for The Enemy mainly for nostalgic reasons, they were peak Godiva for me when I was a teen.

Not overly excited about the rest mind you

Mel C and Trevor Nelson on the Sunday then?

I didn't even know they were an item.

 

[Otis]

Very underwhelming overall I think.

I was hoping Devo would choose the Godiva for one of their very last gigs, but seems they chose the O2 in London instead.

I will still go to the festival, but I am not as excited as I usually am.

Seen so many good bands there over the years. Ash, Buzzcocks, Fun Lovin Criminals, Human League, Echo and the Bunnymen, Biffy Clyro, Kasabian, Mercury Rev, Super Furry Animals, Happy Mondays.

It’s always difficult as they have to cater to so many different demographics!

I really like the Coventry focus on the Friday night and Rudimental, Ella Eyre, Mel C and Trevor Nelson are all well know names.

Plus loads that I don’t know so will be interested to see who surprises me.

I think sometimes the local population can get a bit complacent (not you by the way Otis) about Godiva and how far it has come and what a great thing it is for this city at a stupidly cheap price.

I’m looking forward to it anyway.

Yes, it is stupidly cheap, I agree. I had never heard of Ella Eyre though.

I do usually find there are at least 3 good bands I want to see each and every year.

The only one I am mildly interested in this time is The Enemy. Selector are always good of course, but seen them so many times now. On every year aren't they these days?

I do think my missus will want to see Mel C though.

I still intend to go.

Ian Brown. The Empire.
From what I've seen of his recent solo gigs, they are a sorry state of affairs. Great songs though.

Know someone who went to see him on the last tour and he didn't have any band, just him singing over tapes.
Said it was still full of middle aged men going mental though.
