Email notification came through at 10.19 am tho I wasn’t online at 10am sharp, there were still tix at 10 past or thereabouts.

I got one on o2 priority for the Saturday night. Bit pricey for that size of venue eh? (2k cap I think).

Britpop adjacent I guess but Alison’s Room by 60ft Dolls? Or Sleep Well Tonight by Gene (more in that era for sure).

Also, this is a brilliant read from last year - www.stereogum.com/2279911/japa...

Thanks lads! Enjoying TCR too and hopefully discovering new stuff through that, @trvecvltgaz.bsky.social is already 1 for 1 with Grieving!

Interested to hear what you say about Japandroids, prob 4th of 4 for me in the discog but still with a couple of killer tracks. Also as a patron, can I suggest Celebration Rock for YCP? Prob my fave rock LP of the 2010s, not a wasted second and the most joyous 35 mins of your life! Ta!

I got a SMOSD at last! Headphones in, shouting out [name redacted] while walking past Aldi in Linlithgow to some bemused passers by no doubt!
