At the FEEDER gig last night in Edinburgh - AWESOME!!!!!!! The Chemists were their special guests (pretty good)! We met our mate beforehand but he was off to see Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds also last night at the Corn Exchange - I bet they were AWESOME too! I would have liked to have gone their too but as we saw Nick aka The Grinderman at the Connect gig recently it was FEEDER'S time!!! I have been not well (boo hoo) for over a fortnight now but have to admit that the gig CHEERED ME UP BIGTIME!!!!!! My next gig is gonna be Bloc Party in Glasgow as they were AWESOME too this year at the Connect gig.
Music is a big part of my life - especially goth & punk bands but to be honest I was a bit too young to see them play live. Did manage to see alot of post punk & indie bands. Musical tastes include The Clash, Bauhaus, Pete Murphy, Sisters of Mercy, The Cure, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Joy Division, The Cult, The Psychedelic Furs, Echo & the Bunnymen, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, That Petrol Emotion, Shed Seven, Goodbye Mr Mackenzie, Senseless Things, Throwing Muses, Texas, Gun, Kitchens of Distinction, Sugar, Lemonheads, Iggy Pop, The Mission, The Bolshoi, Kristin Hersh, Mike Scott, The Fall, 999, Electrafixion, Elastica, Pulp, R.E.M., Manic Street Preachers, Staind, Radiohead, Julian Cope, Buzzcocks, The Smiths, Morissey, Honeycrack, Tim & Jeff Buckley, etc & later got into G'N'R & Bon Jovi. What a mixture!!!!!
Went to a lot of gigs in my hayday & still get to the odd one or three!!! Also travelled about a bit - there is deffinately a bit of a gypsy inside me!!!!
Nowadays I am into Feeder, Razorlight, The Killers & No Doubt, Bloc Party etc!!!!!!
Oh & I've recently heard of this new, young talented band called WASTED ERA - well worth a listen!!!!! :) Their debut single is out NOW so why not check out their site & GET IT!!!!
Celeb​rated​ my 40th - yeah 40th by seein​g Bon Jovi at Hampd​en Park Glasg​ow on 21st June 2008 - they were AWESO​ME!​!​!​ This is the secon​d time that I have seen them & will deffo​ see them again​ when they come back to Bonni​e Scotl​and.​ Logan​ were prett​y good speci​al guest​s but sorry​ to say that The Feeli​ng weren​'​t very good - maybe​ becau​se they were squas​hed up at the front​ of the stage​.​ I had a fab view & ended​ up losin​g my voice​ as I sang,​ screa​med & dance​d my head off. Must say Bad Medic​ine & Halle​luiah​ (​origi​nally​ by Leona​rd Cohen​ then Jeff Buckl​ey)​ were my favs & Richi​e Sambo​ri did some mean guita​r riffs​ - I had one 40th to REMEM​BER!​!​!​!​ THANK​ YOU LADS!​ Love alway​s,​ Megha​n:​)​X
Yesterday (27th June) saw Radiohead at Gig in the Green in Glasgow - they were FAB. The Stage Lighting was FANTASTIC! Bat for Lashes were pretty cool special guests. They remind me so much of BJORK!!!!! That crazy icelantic lass! Hoping to catch Radiohead playing in Calais in July! Watch this space!
Wow! Wow! Wow! Hydro Connect gig 2008 - (Saturday) - Grinderman (aka Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds) other band were just bloody fantastic!!!! Nick & Warren were AMAZING!!!! Bloc Party kicked ass too along with Gomez. My lass enjoyed her first big festival & can't wait until next year!!!! A big hello to our mate Mark & our new friend Pat from Oz - they are still at the gig just now. Oh & I can't forget The Guy who wore the Wolf Mask - got my pic with him this year - turned out to be the same guy from last year!!!! He seemed overjoyed that I recognised him from last year! Hee! Hee! It was a great day although tiring & my apple mac wellies came in handy. Will put a few pics up at a later date.
Right the Connect gig was supposed to be the last gig for this year but alas - wait for it - got Feeder tickets on Friday so WOW!!!! WOW!!!! WOW!!!!! I really am overjoyed at going to see them. They have been one of my top bands for some years now & have never managed to see them live - either on my hols when they came to Bonnie Scotland or unable to get of work blah! blah! blah!
I have done my fair share of travelling & have to say that so far the West Coast of the USA rocks my boat - especially the San Francisco area!
Recently back from our 3 week tour of Europe - Started off in London, then Paris, Luxembourg, Germany, Belguim then back to Lille in France. It was so EXCITING!!!!! Paris was fantastic - Eiffel tower had amazing views!
I am a big fan of Bela "Dracula" Lugosi - I did go looking for his grave in Los Angeles but got lost in gang land territory so we got the HELL of of THERE!!!!! But will go back at some point and try again!!!!!
I am a Carer by night & a Crafter by day & enjoy both. I make alot of cards, toppers, sizzix die cuts, cricuts, craft sets etc.
I have come across alot of brilliant bands on here - hope you all make it bigtime!!!! Not to mention some really nice people to chat with!
Motto in life is to Be Happy & Keep on Smiling:) & if PLAYING any MUSIC then PLAY IT LOUDLY!!!!!
