I remember reading, some years ago, that Little Angels were the most diverse British rock group since Queen and still I laugh at that even 20 years on. Whitesnake - interesting.

I see that Status Quo are back together for a few dates next Spring too which will be very interesting to see.

Got all sorts of gigs lined up over the next six months:

Feeder, The Vaccines, The Courteeners, The Black Keys & Maccabees, Jake Bugg, Biffy Clyro, The Stone Roses & Primal Scream, and Kings of Leon so far. All very commercial I know but especially looking forward to Feeder who I have never seen despite going to three festivals where they have been on the bill only to pull out.

The original frantic four line up. Should be excellent.

Went to see the Gaslight Anthem last month at the Apollo, second time I've seen them and they were quality again.

Off to see the Killers next week and then off to the usual XFM Winter Wonderland gig in December too.

I agree with you there. It'll be a cracking night.

Not too big on Alabama Shakes I'm afraid Mike, album was OK and I caught them live at TITP in the summer but not keen enough to go again.

How is their new album? Haven't got around to listening yet, their third album was awful I thought and didn;t like the single from this new one. They are pretty average live too IMO.

Whys that.

I'm not a huge Little Angels fan but they were certainly underrated.

Skin have done a few gigs over the last few years, I've been to watch them several times.

Possibly the beat was Skin with Thunder supporting. Just an amazing throw back to my youth.... Also a lesson to any young band in how to work a crowd.
