Described the sound of my last gig as being dreamy. Arab Strap tonight more the sound of the dream you wake up from in a cold sweat. In a good way obviously. Set mostly focused on the new album and it was cracking. Great support from Sin Clair too.
The band Arab Strap live on stage at Band on the Wall, Manchester. From left to right, there is a white man in a cap, checked shirt and jeans playing electric guitar, a white man in a light t-shirt playing drums, the arm of a white man playing bass guitar next to an amplifier made by Orange, a grey haired white man with a beard wearing a black shirt and faded denim shirts singing, and a white man in dark clothing playing another electric guitar. The drum kit has the letters AS on the bass drum. The stage is lit by a pinky red arched neon sign with the words BAND ON THE WALL lit up across the middle as well as a single pinky red spotlight.

At least I'll be oblivious to the size of the hammering United are going to get tonight til after the final whistle thanks to the joys of going to see Arab Strap.

Beautifully dreamy sounds from White Flowers. I reckon if Twin Peaks - The Return was being filmed now they'd be perfect for a set at the Roadhouse. Interesting support from glitchy electronica/cello duo Powders.
White Flowers on stage at YES, Manchester. From left to right, a white woman with dark hair playing a keyboard and singing, a white man playing electric guitar and another white man playing drums. All three are dressed all in black and the stage is lit red with a spotlight on the man playing guitar in the middle.

Top 5 albums when I was 18: Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead The Pogues - Rum Sodomy and the Lash Easterhouse - Contenders The Housemartins - London 0 Hull 4 3 of those were released within a month or 2 before my 18th so pretty confident this would have been spot on

Since its foundation in 1824 the bravery of Royal National Lifeboat Institution volunteers has saved more than 146,700 lives at sea. Hundreds of those volunteers have died attempting to save others. They are the best of us.

Not quite sure how to work out where the best place to stand is for a gig in the round. ##westsidecowboy
A large black banner with four red circles adorning the normal stage at New Century Hall, Manchester. The largest circle contains the legendary words "WESTSIDE COWBOY".The stage set up at New Century Hall for a gig in the round. Technically the stage is a square mind with each microphone and the drum kit all facing towards the centre.
