trousers Posted 17 November, 2008 Share Posted 17 November, 2008 Couldn't see an existing thread about local bands & gigs so apologies if this is in the wrong place..... I'm into a new Southampton based band called 'COAST' - they're music is badged 'Celtic Rock' which sounds a bit narrow taste but they have influences from wider afield than that and are superb live. I went to see them perform in Bitterne Park on Saturday and will be going to see them at their next gig at a club/bar called Boomerang in Hamble this Thursday evening (20th Nov). Map: http://www.multimap.com/maps/?zoom=16&title=Boomerang%20Restaurant%20%26%20Bar&countryCode=GB&qs=SO314HA If anyone fancy's a cracking night out I can highly recommend it. I'll buy a pint for the first 5 Saints fans to turn up at the bar and ask "Where's Trousers?"....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff leopard Posted 17 November, 2008 Share Posted 17 November, 2008 Winchester showcases its alternative dance scene! Come and experience the Winchester's amazing dance music scene (including myself and the stain) as the Void vs Brap UK tour comes to a fantastically drunken climax at the Railway Inn on Saturday 29th November. The tour has been organised by outofthevoid.co.uk and brapfm.com to showcase the best young talent on the south coast and so far has stopped off in Soton, Portsmouth, Bristol and Brighton, raising loads of cash for charity. The headliners are JayetAl, Winchester's best live band, fresh from their first UK tour and festival dates in Eastern Europe (pictured below). They're about to start recording their second album so this will be their last live show until they emerge from the studio, pasty faced, confused and horny, in Spring 09. This two piece make a gloriously huge racket, mixing the math-rock of Battles and the grandeur of Signor Ros with the bleepy, beaty joy of Orbital and Plaid, check out their music - http://www.myspace.com/jayetal The rest of the evening will be an eclectic mix of dubstep, jungle, acid house, break-core, break-beat, electronica, hip hop, funk, afro-beat, jazz and current bun-core from Winchester's finest and hippest and moisted djs. Entrance is only £2 and once we've covered the cost of venue hire all the monies will go to Oxjam. Hurray! And although it is a charity event, I vow to thee that it will be so utterly debouched that your brain and liver will never talk to you again, just as you like it, and the music will have some real style and bite as you experience Winchester's cultural charms first hand. Void vs Brap - Saturday 29th November @ the Railway Inn, Winchester. £2 entry JayetAl (live) plus dj sets from rude_NHS, KILLblinton, klaus dinger, my name is not billy, Jeremy Waxman and more more more!!!

Stanley Saint Posted 18 November, 2008 Share Posted 18 November, 2008 Here's my band. On a slight hiatus due to our drummer moving to Wales (and our, um, 'more selective audience appeal' in recent years).

trousers Posted 19 November, 2008 Author Share Posted 19 November, 2008 The local music scene is dead, pretty much due to there being no quality local bands. Hi. Am interested in what your 'quality' benchmark is? Music genres? Actual professional quality of the 'sound'? I believe there is 'quality' out there but (puts on Dad's pipe and slippers) in today's "local band scene" I find that unless you sound like all the millions of other guitar based groups out there or (for the ladies) you are a Lilly Allen/Duffy/Winehouse clone then you don't 'fit in' in. Anyway, back to Radio 2 I go.... ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 19 November, 2008 Share Posted 19 November, 2008 www.myspace.com/magicmonkeytheory A couple of my mates are in this band, they're supporting Flamboyant Bella at Joiners on the 11th of December. They played there in early November with Dekolta and Switch Transmission and the people who run the place liked them so much they offered them a slot with Flamboyant Bella plus a support slot of their choice for any band that's playing at Joiners in the forseeable future! That's pretty kick arse tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted 20 November, 2008 Author Share Posted 20 November, 2008 You are totally right. I see quality as something different, it doesnt have to be a different genre but something that grabs you such as an outstanding vocal, good songwriting or a performance. I've played with thousands of bands and most of them are either emulating music they listen to themselves or just there to be cool, most of them have a completely unjustified ego too. There are loads of problems with this generation of music and the people driving it. Kids are now growing up listening to bands like the wombats for their inspiration. Their songwriting will never evolve without looking through their dads record collection, so back to your point, everything sonds the same, no imagination. The fitting in problem you mentioned is a hard one. If you dont fit in people wont instantly like you but over a while you may well set a trend because you dont fit in. Bands that just hop onto a scene have a short shelf life and will never "make it international". Once an A&R scouts find a coldplay every label will want their own coldplay, so they sign similar acts like keane etc Yeah my standards are high and there is a reason for that. thank gawwd for radio 2 Sounds like you'd enjoy 'Coast' at Boomerang's in Hamble tonight then....no shallow minded trend setters in sight....just decent honest rock music ice-cream with a Celtic flake popped in the top for good measure....

Deano6 Posted 2 December, 2008 Share Posted 2 December, 2008 Went to see Glasvegas last night at Shepherds Bush. They disappointed me and left me a bit flat. However, White Lies were supporting and they were excellent. I only found out they'd be there a few hours before and was very excited about seeing them. I tip them for greatness. Don't try them if you don't like Joy Division / Echo & The Bunnymen / Teardrop Explodes. Before them were Southampton kids Thomas Tantrum. What can I say about them? Well I know it was Liverpool 0 - 0 West Ham still by the time they'd have finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
