Do I go and see the Maccabees tonight?

I see that the Maccabees are playing near me tonight (30 mins away).

Now I went up to Bristol to see Maximo Park last night, went straight from work and didn't get in 'till early morning so am pretty shattered.

But I have tomorrow off work.

The gig won't cost me anything to get in, do I go?

Leaving now, going on me todd as the other half is too knackered

Was a good gig, fear of flying were a decent support act as well

Yeah the Maximo Park was pretty good I thought, not been to the bristol academy before and it was a nice venue.

It is a very good venue, just a shame it's not a bit bigger. Few idiots near the front were doing my head in.

They just wanted to beat the crap out of people than actually listen to the music. I know it's a gig and all and I dont really have a problem with it, I'm like it sometimes but not at a Maximo gig for christ's sake.

Yeah we saw that and laughed thinking why oh why...

We were up on the raised bit by the bar, but right at the front by the fence bit overlooking the guys doing the sound/lights so had a really good unobstructed view and no hassle

Saw Maximo in Nottingham and it was one of the best gigs I've ever been to. Absolutely love the Park live, I'd recommend them to anyone tbh

Art Brut were really good supporting them too.

Not going to mention Das Wanderlust, other than they weren't my cup of tea.

I lolled hard when the woman from Das Wanderlust opened her mouth to sing the first song, just wasn't expecting it! Some of the tunes they played were atually not bad at all, the vocals spoilt it though.

Art Brut were ace, had only heard one of their tracks before and when they walked on stage looking at them I was thinking oh dear, but they seemed really nice
