Out tonight to see NewDad supported by Cardinals at Chalk Brighton.

Saw Cork band Cardinals just a few weeks ago on the So Young tour and was well impressed and they were just as impressive tonight. Looking forward to their album.

Brògeal played their first album in its entirety and there's not a filler in their 60 minute set. A good mixture of out and out folk punk thrash and some sombre slow ones. Go see them and have a dance and a shimmy.

Out tonight to see Idlewild supported by Glasgow band Humour at Koko in Camden. I played Idlewild's first three albums to death, but managed to miss seeing them live, so really looking forward to this.

Haven't put anything up about a film in ages but I've just seen "I swear" and bloody hell that was good. Robert Aramayo and Maxine Peake deserve a truck full of awards. youtu.be/oeWqQN3snCU

Headliners tonight were Panic Shack on the second night of their UK tour. That are one of the best live bands around, its just heads down no-nonsense mindless boogie from start to finish. 17 tracks in just over an hour.

First up are The Disgusting Sisters an electro-pop-rock duo from the UK and France augmented by drums, guitar, and bass. If you like Shampoo - one for the youngsters - then you will like The Disgusting Sisters.

Headliners tonight at the Prince Albert were British Birds, a four-piece from Chorley who play a mix of indie and the best bits of 70s pub rock, mixed in with a bit of the B52s, and it works really well.p

marcusa @marcusa.bsky.social · 17d

Second support at the Prince Albert were The Roebucks. This was the 12th time I've seen them, and while they're still very very good, they do need to get some new songs into their set.

First up was William John Titus Bishop an ex-Brighton resident who is heavily influenced by Bob Dylan and has an unbelievable 1.1m followers on Instagram.
