I've seen 100s of lesser known bands whilst touring with my boyfriends band, including Gash (top blokes!) 4ft Fingers, Nerve, King Prawn, Da Skywalkers, Five Knuckle, Capdown, Consumed, Lubby Nugget and One Car Pile Up. Erm, anyone heard of these bands?

Yeah I've seen quite a few of those bands. King Prawn are pretty famous now. Seen Capdown loads as they started up around here so have played in Kent for years. I've seen Lubby Nugget a few times too as well as Consumed.

erm concert-wise, not including festivals, I've seen:
Blur
Rage Against the Machine
Mad Caddies
Strung Out
Good Riddance
The Hives
Weezer
Black-eyed Peas
Faithless

along with a load of festival bands, support bands and random bands. The best local band I've ever seen is a ska punk band called The Splitters who are a bit like Capdown.

Oh, and I've seen Miocene and Crackout too. Didn't rate them that much, Crackout were the better.
And I'm probaby not going to see FLC this week.

yea just recently I saw Les Claypool at a festival with his flying frog brigade. They did like a 20 minute version of shine on you crazy diamonds. He was also there with bucket brain. He seems to be real involved in the jam band genre now especially after touring with oysterhead.

I don't know if this counts, but I watch The Pretenders play Newmarket race course last Friday. I didn't actually pay as it was a corporate night out but they paid £20 a ticket I think.

Was thinking that.

Closest I got to the Stone Roses live was Ian Brown singing the first bit of Fools Gold when I saw him in Glasgow earlier this year, the crowd went insane!

We were thinking about seeing them too, but we didn't know how good they were. There's another one about too, can't remember what they're called. Fools Gold I think, but they've not got such a good rep.
