Thanks for that info, I'll make sure to visit it on my next London stay. Plus, I have a friend who's just bought a house in Greenwhich so I'll ask him to visit ahead.

Ahh Greenwich ... i used to work at the Old Royal Naval College ! Some cool little shops & pubs... & of course the wonderful Pie & Mash shop !

Isn't that location the Flying Duck shop? Are they simply taking a corner of the shop over?

I'd like to know as a) I'm a local, b) I'd like to advertise this as much as possible!

Fresh from a triumphant studio date, Them Bird Things leave the runway on Wednesday, April 2 at Lepakkomies' Club Gaia in Kallio, Helsinki. The quartet debut a fresh batch of songs, including their forthcoming single, "Shame, Shame, Shame, Shame, Shame," a song that would have been guaranteed to sell a million back in '65... unfortunately it's 2008 and some folks think street construction passes for music. But I know YOU still like good pop-rock, and Them Bird Things deliver the goods. Witness a rock 'n' roll tent revival, featuring a wild-eyed fusion of psychedelia mixed with a gargantuan garage barrage and a bounty of folk-rock masquerading as Americana... All executed as only Them Bird Things can. Salla Kiehelä, Timo Vikkula, Esa Jussila and Ville Särmä tote a tackle-box of tunes... It's like fishing, man! Hooks galore with ear-worms disguised as melodies! Admission is free with a €2 coat-check. Show starts at 10 p.m. Them Bird Things will play an extended set of 18 to 20 songs - just because they like to! Them Bird Things: Finland's finest playing the tunes of legendary garage/roots rockers, Mike Brassard and Steve Blodgett... For more info, check out: www.myspace.com/thembirdthings Them Bird Things Keskiviikko 2.4. klo 22 Ravintola Lepakkomies, Club Gaia Helsinginkatu 1, Helsinki Vapaa pääsy!

Would love to tell me more about it please!

Blow Out was a great way to start 2008!
I've had two near-misses with Primitive in the past couple of years, maybe I'll be successful this year?
Anybody know the capacity (number of attendees) for Primitive?

There aren't any in the USA!! ARGH!! :-(

The closest "festivals" that we have over here are CAVESTOMP in New York (when the have it), BUDGET ROCK SHOWCASE in Oakland and THE BLOW OUT in Los Angeles, but they're still not even close in comparison to Primitive, Wild Weekend, and Dracula Carnival...

I wish I could make it to the European festivals... ho hum...

Wouldn't miss it for the world. Best weekender of the year.

Anyone thinking about going to the Primitive Festival in june?

I'll be in Barcelona from the 11th til the 14th of April and Rome from the 15th til the 18th, are there any cool gigs happening that I should be going to?

HOLA AMIGOS!!!!! This year's Holly week will be crazy in the north west of spain. you must be there if you want to be sanctified.

Inbetween The Sonics shows I reckon this'll be a laff!

Too bad you're not in town for the James Taylor Quartet gig at la Maroquinerie ... or perhaps you will be ? I forgot the exact date. You can check their website if you're interested.

thanks for the tips. we won't be going to the heavy...hopefully we find something we want to see!

Website for La Flèche d'Or : http://www.flechedor.fr/ Website for l'Entrepot : http://www.lentrepot.fr/httpdocs/musique02.asp Website for l'Utopia : http://www.utopia-cafeconcert.fr/

Have you checked the website of 'La Maroquinerie' ?

I'm going to the 4th March concert of The Heavy (I think the tickets are about 18 Euros though, it's hard to find cheaper than that). If you and your gang want to hook up with us there, let me know !

For really cheap concerts, you can check 'l'Entrepôt' (they have their own website), la Flèche d'Or or even l'Utopia (a bar where they have blues musicians), but though it may be cheap, the quality is not always there.

40 years after the release of the Zombies’ swansong ‘Odessey & Oracle’ the original members of The Zombies will reunite to perform three special live concerts at Shepherds Bush Empire in London. Colin Blunstone (vocals), Rod Argent (keyboards/vocals), Chris White (bass/vocals); Hugh Grundy (drums) will be playing the entire ‘Odessey & Oracle’ album from start to finish and, remarkably, this will be the first time, that the original band has played these songs live on stage. One member of the original line up will be absent - Paul Atkinson sadly passed away, and his role on guitar will be replaced by Keith Airey. The first part of the concert will see the Zombies’ touring band play a selection of Zombies’ hits, as well as Colin Blunstone’s magical solo material from his critically acclaimed album, “One Year”, performed with a string section, and Rod Argent & Chris White’s superb Argent hits. Aritst: The Zombies Date: 7th, 8th & 9th March 2008 Venue: London, Shepherds Bush Empire Tickets £27.50 Box office: 0870 771 2000 / www.ticketweb.co.uk More info: www.colinblunstone.co.uk

oh thanks...looks like Black Lips are playing on March 31st, the exact date they need, so it might be a go...
