Ohh I was just about to post! It's a proper good lineup this year and I have no ticket which is so annoying. The Academy Is... are playing the same day as Eisley and I don't half adore them! |

I can live in hope that the fact that they'd have already played reading would allow them to stay up north and play a club gig. Gutted, thought of going just for that day to see the shins after selling my tickets to see them in manchester a couple months back. Good to see things are happening in the uk anyway. Come play newcastle - http://www.theheadofsteam.com/default.aspx?tabid=10252 - this is probably the best venue in newcastle for club gigs. Or I'd even drive to scotland - http://www.liquidroom.com/about.aspx I remember seeing the futureheads a few year back here before they released their debut album, bout 50 people turned up but they still put on a blinding set. We need petition for all northern eisley people to be catered for on eisley's forthcoming whistle stop jaunt across the pond! _________________ "A mathematician is a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat which isn't there." - Charles Darwin (legend) |

That's all very well and good, and I'm happy for my mate Lou (and, for that matter, Flick) who's going down, and doesn't really know of Eisley but from me. Non the less, four words: T IN THE PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARK or two more: INDIAN SUMMMMMMMMMER! (please?) Edit: Juan... Liquid Room is immense when it's packed, but crap when it's empty. Get less than half capacity and it's rubbish. End of. Can't believe Futureheads still made it blindin', though! A band like that (incidentally, was had a proper good listen to them yesterday!). I've imagined Eisley at Cabaret Voltaire many times before. It's perfect for them. Deliciously so. I've seen many artists there, ranging from... (off the top of my head): The heights Tilly Duke Special (three times) Thomas Truax (twice, excluding supporting mr Duke Special) The Research The Maccabees Amy MacDonald Edinburgh Schools battle of the bands semi-final (so basically alot of under-18 emo bands...) Pigees ROSIE THOMAS! OH MY GOODNESS YES! that was awesome. The Envy Corps There are probably many others. Basically, Cab Vol is awesome. (Regina, too). The thing is, it's a volt; a cave. Intimate when it's quiet and empty - 'cause you're all forced to go near the front and squeeze toghether - but awesome when it's packed. Max capacity 230ish plus (i remember that from Gemma Hayes... my mate and i were on el door, and one worker there was like "yeah... we oversold tickets... and that figure is minus the guestlist..."). I have heard no-one diss the Cab Vol. http://www.thecabaretvoltaire.com/ If you want to go cheap though, there is subway. Don't, though. That's just crappy allround. _________________ She is handsome, she is pretty, she is the girl from Belfast City, she is courtin' one two three, please won't you tell me who is she?

Boyd - you hear the man - get on to this. we NEED a gig in the north that isn't the Leeds festival, since everyone always bypasses newcastle, my/our only hope is a gig in the foreign land of scotland. Edinburgh is exactly or approximately 125 miles from my home, 1 and a half hours by car, much quicker by train and a gig there would have me there in a flash. Could this ahppen? This club that the mad man mentions sounds like a blast and we (I speak for all northerners) wish to have a gig there! _________________ "A mathematician is a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat which isn't there." - Charles Darwin (legend) |

not only one in Scotland. But in EDINBURGH! I HEREBY DEMAND THAT EISLEY PLAYS EDINBURGH BEFORE GLASGOW. Glasgow's got many venues which I could list... which i will, because why not... but no-one comes to Edinburgh. Fact: i've gone to Glasgow twice when I could've seen the band in Edinburgh... but i couldn't. oops. haha. King Tuts ABC. I've been there thrice: Futureheads, Po' girl, and Midlake. ABC 2 would be better size-wise. Po'Girl was beautiful there. size: 350. Nice n' Sleazy Nice. and sleazy. Good venue. been there twice (Vincent Vincent and the Villains... and Mute Math). does what it says on the tin. Intimate when quiet, i imagine... Oh, and Mute Math played their first ever European gig there. Rock on! (for once in my life, i can say "I was there!") Capitol. No idea on size. Bigger than Cab Vol... and just as upmarket. Lovely! (no website that I can find) Barfly. haha. Yeah... That's a bit sleazy. I'd fear for everyone's safety in that part of town. S*** when it's really low on numbers. (saw Cord. I was the mad fool dancing, on his own, in the middle, when everyone else - all five of them - was at the bar. I never imagined i would ever be that guy...). http://www.barflyclub.com/glasgow/whatson/WhatsOn.aspx failing them... There's tons of bars. Non of which i've been to. One in Edinburgh is Whistlebinkies. That's a music bar... i've been there once. But it's a gud'un. http://www.whistlebinkies.com/ Those are all places which I think Eisley could play in, given their following over here. Anywhere else would probably be too big. Unless they've exploded without me noticing... (wow. hehe. i spent a bit of time on that) _________________ She is handsome, she is pretty, she is the girl from Belfast City, she is courtin' one two three, please won't you tell me who is she?

ignore the venues in glasgow. get on the blower to a venue in edinburgh. I would love to see a gig in newcastle but as I said previously, I don't expect a gig in newcastle unless they are either supporting someone, or suddenly became an overnight sensation and WB wanted a full blown headline tour, this, I doubt will happen in August. Boyd - you can make an Edinburgh gig happen, you have super human powers and I truely beleive that you could make this work - try it, it would make people happy! Use your mountain goat powers and weild the katana to persuade anyone and everyone to make his happen! Failing all that, on the Sunday after Leeds festival, drive 70 mile up the motorway in a northerly direction and play in my back garden. I will charge no fee and will provide food and drinks! You provide he music, I'll provide the crowd! Jelly (you call it jello or something equally as gay) and ice cream all round! Its a done deal. _________________ "A mathematician is a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat which isn't there." - Charles Darwin (legend) |

I'm al for other towns in England but London is my main thing. It's the main place for gigs [me personally but for a lot of others I assume too] But if the band would really want to push it out, they could eaaasily come to Southend in Essex and play a tiny 300 person venue called Chinnerys. Bands like uh Razorlight and Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. er..and Patrick Wolf have all played there. But thats really pushing the boat out, to the seaside! |

Sorry Cockneys don't count on our mission to get a northern gig  We deem it damaging to our cause! Now be quite and accept that Boyd has already said there'll be a London gig! _________________ "A mathematician is a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat which isn't there." - Charles Darwin (legend) |

I say way way too damn tootin greedy! think of me - Newcastle, not gonna happen, my only hope is a short travel somewhere or my back garden. 'The gig in the garden' has even less chance of happening than a gig in newcastle, so my chances look low, whereas you hances are nailed on. And mad sam has an even greater travel if they dont come north, so when they anounce 5 gigs darn sarf think of us poor northern kids with only our Cominations albums to listen to as a substitute for live gig! _________________ "A mathematician is a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat which isn't there." - Charles Darwin (legend) |

I'm sorry! If I had talent and was in a good band I'd always go to Newcastle. I like the accent a lot more than the South one. I say that Boyd should let the band do a London show and then head on up North because you seem to be getting less action up there than the South. |
