If you live in London or New York you're lucky anyway.


The music scene isn't that bad. There's quite a few things upcoming...Derrhoof/Kit in June...Dead Meadow/Vetiver/PG Six in August...Indian Jewelery on Sunday...some improve thing in June in a church.

And tonight there is Ignatz/Arrington De Dionyso/Motorghost...Buffalo Bar...doors...err, probably about 8:30 or something. Check it out:

 


The music scene isn't amazing or anything but I reckon it's better than similar sized cities in England in a lot of cases (Leicester where I used to live is pretty much the same size as Cardiff and not as good music wise I don't think). There are a handful of promotors doing ace stuff (Forecast, Fagclub, Fourier Transform, Lesson No1)..check it out dude.

Yeah i've been to the odd good gig. But for the most not a great deal is happening inside Cardiff itself. Its not that bad for the cities size. My point was really about people complaining nothing is going on in London. When we dont have half what they have in London. For obviously reasons. Lucky Bastards.

I've been to LOADS of great gigs, and yes a few of them were in london, but 75% of them were here in Birmingham. And no i wouldn't pick to live here if i could choose but at the moment i have to. NYC is fantastic, but its too expensive for most people and i like living in a house and having a garden.

SynthethicalY 05.29.2007 04:48 AM

New York is Great, but it is not feasible financially. So I am here in Los Angeles, which isn't half bad if you think about it.

Any place will only be what you make it.

I'm a left-coast guy and have never been to NYC.

I'm going to the Daydream Nation show there at the end of July though. :D

no longer will I be a live Sonic virgin! the shame is ending!

I lost my live sonic virginity when I was thirteen. :cool:

Green_mind 05.29.2007 11:49 AM

That's quite shockingly young. I don't think I even had them kind of thoughts when I was that young.

Danny Himself 05.29.2007 11:51 AM

I probably wasn't ready. Perhaps if I would have waited it out I would have appreciated it more..

It was great, though.

screamingskull 05.29.2007 11:56 AM

i lost my live sonic virginity when i was 15, i don't think i was ready or well prepared.

floatingslowly 05.29.2007 12:53 PM

I feel like such a prude now. :o

Same here. I wish I had waited for the "right gig."

floatingslowly 05.29.2007 01:07 PM

now I'm a little nervous about what might be in store.

I hope they're gentle with me. :eek:

SynthethicalY 05.29.2007 01:23 PM

Washing Machine 05.29.2007 02:26 PM

val-holla-ing 05.29.2007 06:57 PM

i'm disappointed to see how many of you lost your sonic virginities so early. that explains why you're all such sonic whores now.
