Posted December 18, 2006 Hmm... Gigs going to: Delays @ Southampton Apartment @ The Fly (amazing up and coming band, they're really awesome) Pure Reason Revolution @ the Astoria Gigs been to this year: Muse @ Shepherd's Bush, Manchester, Wembley x2, Lyon Delays @ Summer Sundae, Reading Pure Reason Revolution @ Reading Apartment @ Purple Turtle Camden, 333 Old St, Catch 22, Hoxton Bar and Grill, Reading, Fopp Tottenham Court Road Hmm. I think that's it. Which isn't too bad considering I started in July after A Levels plus the live music scene is Oxford is on life support. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 18, 2006 Ill try and remeber all the gigs that ive been to this year, im sure its just a tad longer than Platty's. Itll be quite funny because it will go a bit like this: Mcfly/Son of Dork/Taking Back Sunday/Hawthorne heights = 1st quarter All That Remains/Unearth/Killswitch/Trivium/Lamb of God = 2nd quarter Nothing 3rd quarter (trip to southern asia) Placebo, Futureheads, Young Knives, Forward Russia, Get Cape Wear Cape =4th quarter Ive been soo erratic with my music taste this year, but its turned out for the better.

Night touch my hand with the turning Golden Skans, From the night and the light, all plans are golden in your hand." Love this band, my tip for band of 2007 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 23, 2006 Hardly any decent bands come anywhere near where I live, so I have none planned. That's not to say that I don't go to them though.
