Goth night tonight. Fields of The Nephilim at the Town and Country Club, sorry Forum 😁

37 years ago I went to see them there. I really thought to myself that my mosh pit days were over so got a good position right in front of the mixing desk.

First chord. Straight down to the front! 🤣

And Martha Ladly suggested the name for Orchestral Manoeuvres "Architecture and Morality" (the sleeve of which was designed by Peter Saville), played keyboards on a few tracks on The Associates "Sulk" as well as appearing several times on TOTP with them including the 'Party Fears Two' performances.

At least they got #1 correct!

🤣 I’d forgotten about ‘For Old Times Sake’

I think I’ve just been at my favourite gig of 2025.🥰

@michellegurevich.bsky.social at The Jazz Cafe.

_girlsatourbest @girlsatourbest.bsky.social · 3d

New venue tonight. First time at The Jazz Cafe, Camden.

_girlsatourbest @girlsatourbest.bsky.social · 4d

It's always a good idea to get out of your comfort zone and listen to something a little bit different. You might discover something really great.

@michellegurevich.bsky.social tomorrow at The Jazz Cafe, Camden. Sold out 🥰

I actually force myself to watch the whole of TOTP98… to remind myself was I wasn't just being a grumpy old goth at the time. The charts really were mostly crap*.

*This also applies to the 70s and 80s programmes. We just filter out how bad most of the chart singles were. 😉

_girlsatourbest @girlsatourbest.bsky.social · 7d

Typical London. You wait 19 years for a gig and then two arrive at the same time. 😁

_girlsatourbest @girlsatourbest.bsky.social · 7d

Now I've got my ticket for SBE fill yer boots!

A tricky one, but probably 'Population'. 😁

_girlsatourbest @girlsatourbest.bsky.social · 9d

I saw them last year. I can thoroughly recommend seeing them.

_girlsatourbest @girlsatourbest.bsky.social · 10d

I've got my Rilo Kiley ticket! 🥰

_girlsatourbest @girlsatourbest.bsky.social · 11d

Craig, I'd just like to point out that I have you to thank for my early infatuation with this band 😁

_girlsatourbest @girlsatourbest.bsky.social · 13d

I melted their drum kit during a gig in 1984 😉

Whoever would have guessed that aiming 9 x 1Kw par cans at the same spot would have had that effect ? 🤔

😁

Watching the BBC2 Hits of 1975 and Lulu with "The Man With The Golden Gun".

Vocals and music are written out of sync and it's genius.

Like "Tomorrow Never Dies" by Sheryl Crow, it's unfairly overlooked as a great Bond theme.

_girlsatourbest @girlsatourbest.bsky.social · 15d

My 13th #echobelly gig tonight. 🥰

_girlsatourbest @girlsatourbest.bsky.social · 16d

This is actual stress 😁

I forgot to set a reminder 😱 and panicked. However, I have managed to get tickets (just now @ 15:20).

PHEW!!!

_girlsatourbest @girlsatourbest.bsky.social · 29d

Here early for #Rialto.

Euro-cinema indie-pop. Should have been a lot bigger. Well, they ticked my boxes at the time.

_girlsatourbest @girlsatourbest.bsky.social · Oct 2

#Rialto and #Sleeper tonight at the Electric Ballroom.

To be honest I'd have gone to see either one of them so both on the same night is a bit of a treat.

Also #Gene on Saturday! 😁

"Put your hands together for French-Canadian superstar Coeur De Pirate!"

She's not playing a UK gig next year so I'm paying a stupid amount of money to see her in Amsterdam in March! 🤣
