05.11.2009 - Moby at Volkshaus

I like the recent albums but I'm not sure how it will work live.

Camera Obscura - 13th Oct - Abart, Zurich

White Lies - 14th Nov - Kaufleuten, Zurich

Someone here on EF is nutty for them if remember correctly....

Ultravox - Volkshaus Zurich - 15 April 2010

with Midge Ure back up front.

It's a good week for indie music in Zürich with Au Revoir Simone on Tuesday and Yacht last night (which was great!).

This evening Girls are playing at Exil.

They have an interesting personal history, having grown up in the Children of God cult, being heavily involved with drugs and being adopted by a billionaire . . . or something.

The music is psychedelic, influenced by the Beach Boys and shoegaze.

Who are the "Girls" ?


as you can imagine, googling is pointless ... what do I google? Girls in Zurich, Girls group, Girls music ...

Anyone interested in seeing Alice In Chains in Fribourg start of december?

A bit of a different band from their Grunge days, could be interesting

Well I did explain a little bit in my original post . . .

More here:

Raised by a cult, rescued by a millionaire and addicted to pills

If only I noticed earlier

The debut album - imaginatively titled Album - is in the post

Did you go? Were they good?



And now for a plug

Unfortunately they started at 11.30 which was a bit late for a school night, so I decided against it.

In other news . . . Patrick Wolf is playing at Mascotte on Wednesday. Anyone going? Or want to go? If you are it would be nice to meet up . . . PM me.

FYI - for any Aussies out there Eskimo Joe is playing tonight in Bern at the Bier Huebli

It would seem that The Joy Formidable are supporting The Temper Trap.

Check out the video here http://thejoyformidable.com/

How can you not love this band.

for the U2 fans out there, heard that they'll be playing in zurich next summer... can anyone confirm?

I'm looking forward to see KING AUTOMATIC at the longstreet bar 4.11.09 @2100h
Now that is something worth going to see..

I watched their video, what a bunch of w@nkers!

Not definitively but I can say the stage diagrams /architect plans have been drawn up (see this post), permission for a concert at Dubendorf Airfield has been granted, and I would expect a concert date sometime in the first half of September 2010 to be announced in the next week or two.

...are playing at the Volkhaus on 28.01.10...(I know I know, that's ages away, but being in CH...)

I think tickets are around CHF50 , but you'll get excellent riffage for your frank, and the support is sure to be good....



You know it makes sense!

Looking forward to the Temper trap in a few weeks. Got a few mates coming. Anyone interested in meeting up, PM me

Ian Brown is playing at Abart in Zurich on the 18th January. Tickets are now available.

Should be a great gig if he manages to keep out of trouble with the dibble between now and then.

I just hope that he doesn't get bottled like the last time he played Rohstofflager.

Ian went offstage for a break, the roadies were switching out the Fender guitars and bringing the Gretsches onstage. This suggests the likelihood of an encore filled with Stone Roses songs. He wasn't offstage for more than 3 minutes and the idiots behind started throwing filled cups of beer towards the stage, coating us in the front row and the instruments on stage. They were asked to stop, but the continued. The lights came on the, the roadies got all the gear off stage and the Ian didn't come back on to play an encore that would have included a bunch of Roses tracks , (as indicated on the setlist i collected)

I really hope the Abart crowd are a bit more sensible.

Miss Platnum is playing at the Salzhaus in Winterthur on Sunday, 22 Nov 2009

And me sadly up in Germany...
