Hey, just an introduction to myself. :D
 

Hi ghais and gurls.

I'm from London and I'm really into the indie scene, just joined up on the site to see who's from London and discover new bands etc...

Anyway, to start you off (so this thread is not just spam), I'm following...

Luner Youth atm, you guys heard of them? They're playing this May at a festival in London.

What's going on this year anyways?

Andy

Hi! Welcome!

Hey! Lunar Youth are playing great escape in Brighton, and I have tickets! I might go check them out.

Here's a brighton band:
Peepholes

Oh sweettttttt. I saw And you'll know us by the Trail of dead in Brighton last year, I forgot which venue though :(

Aw man! Didn't realised they played or I would have gone, saw them a few years ago...

Possibly in concorde 2? Do you come down for gigs in brighton alot?

Yeah that's it, a pretty nice venue. I think they've played twice in Brighton now.

I live in London, so I'm only 30 minutes away. I go to Brighton probably every month or so, especially in the summer.

You should definately try out London for gigs, the east end is great for indie nights.

I've been to Cargo and to Brixton Academy, but that's it, pretty sad huh? lived her for almost 2 years... I always tell myself I should go more often, but then I remember my bank account. (':

What kind of places would you recommend?

Brixton Academy is No.1 IMO, but the new scene is in East London. Look into, Death Disco (for weekly evenings - very very cheap nights), you've got City Showcase Festival (a 4 day festival in East London £5)which I'll be attending to, Camden Crawl (2 day festival in Camden - £70 or so :(, but it's totally worth it).

TBH you don't really need too much for a good night out, I guess it depends how much you drink etc..

Have you heard of KoKo's, Camden?

I had not, just googled it, and infadels and metric are playing there soon. Hmmmm, I might see if my housemates are up for it. Not doing Camden Crawl this year, but it sounds like so much fun! I might go next. Have you been there then? And have you ever been to the electric ballroom? alot of bands seem to play there.

Camden crawl owns! I've been twice now and met so many cool people, same thing for the City Showcase festival. There's not many festivals out there which do not get your feet muddy. ;)

I've been meaning to go to The Electric Ballroom, but I have not got around to it yet.

Seriously, put some money aside and have a good time in London this summer, it's going to be a great one.

Any good events happening in Brighton this summer? Brightonion's are a hellova lot of fun!

I'll be doing an internship in Woking over Summer, I think its quite close to London? So I shall try to tear some of the researchers away from their calculators and into London (':

Mehh, the usual I think, I tend to just take it week by week when it comes to Brighton gigs... Had a look and heres some good stuff coming up:

Caribou, good shoes, magic numbers, rufus wainwright and pet shop boys coming up over the next few months. And there's brighton fringe the whole of May, loads of art-theatre-way-too-expesive-y stuff, hehe. Don't really know too much about the summer yet!

And yes, we are awesome! =D

Ahh Brighton Fringe, I want to go to this. You should get everyone down, have a proper time!
Which event do you'll think you'll probably be attending to?

Dunno, if any, probably Caribou. I am so skint at the moment its not even funny! haha, how about you? anything planned?

I'll be going to Camden Crawl, City Showcase festival and Death Disco for sure. I just remembered, I also saw Young Knives in Brighton, they're just awesome sawse!

Oooo welcome from one Indie lover to another! Great tips. I am sooo happy I came across this thread. City Showcase festival falls right on the weekend I will be visiting London! Yay.

Welcome to MB!
