The @stereolabgroop.bsky.social band played a fabulously groovy set last night. Crunchy guitar and trombone peaks a-plenty. Also a plethora of woolly hats donned for the entire gig; people need to improve their circulation!

They quite excellent Sunflower Thieves @sunflowerthieves.bsky.social have a freebie gig @ Low Four in April - you can get tickets tomorrow.

@davelauchlan.bsky.social Here's your Friday sorted:

I believe the sun has neglected to set an alarm, and is having a lie in.

Incredible set from Westside Cowboy, last night at @thetradesclub.bsky.social. Next year will see them tour with Geese and play much larger rooms. Very exciting!

What better way to spend a completely fowl weekday night, than down the Castle Hotel watching @robinkester.com, Iona Zajac and respective bands (who included a plethora of talent)? c/o @nowwave.bsky.social

TIL Gil Scott-Heron was the Tango voice-over. www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

Clearly, yes! I can't imagine theatres not letting people know when a play starts, why should this be different? THEN we could bring gig times earlier and public-transport friendly.

Wow, bass recorders are less instrument, more downspout.

It's 7 years ago I saw @thebeths.bsky.social for the first time in Miles Platting, M40. Of course it was top notch, but no idea how this booking unfolded.

You know it's going to be a good day when @hannahpeel.bsky.social crops up every hour on Radio 4 news - for the right reasons!

Piss poor week so far. A rainbow in the sludge is tonight though, in the form of 🌈 @kathrynjoseph11.bsky.social 🏵️ at the Deaf Institute. Then I remembered how much a pint is in there. ⛈️

Beautiful.

Pogotastic night with Pom Poko / @beachbunnymusic.bsky.social on Monday at Albert Halls, 0161. Got myself in the pit, obviously.

Cut ups and freak outs, Crimewave and @nojoy.bsky.social at Yes, Manchester; neither nomenclature were present, lovely night. Apologies, my snaps poorly represent Jasamine's knock-off Aphex Twin socks, but they were excellent!

It's the anticipated @nojoy.bsky.social's Manchester-Wednesday-day today. Go pick a spot in Yes's basement and get some.

@thorharris.bsky.social too good

The Middle East (not that one!) casually drop a new song, first in 14 years? open.spotify.com/track/0prhsQ...

Pretty special weekend - Roy Harper at the Bridgewater, Oasis at Wembley. Belting shows, the both; pure enjoyment.

@thorharris.bsky.social Another one for the life-goal map.

@thorharris.bsky.social Oof!

Reading the obits, seems like I have a lot of decent films to catch up on. RIP Robert Redford.
