March Live

So, February turned out to be a fine month for live music which culminates tonight with The Soundtrack of Our Lives down at the Concorde. March is looking similarly hectic, especially in the first couple of weeks, so here's my pick of the best live action for the month ahead:

02/03 - Local chaps The Ordinary Boys play at the Dome, but I'm more likely to check out Engineers at the Pressure Point instead.
03/03 - Last seen supporting Gemma Hayes at the Pavilion Theatre, Norwegian singer fella, Sondre Lerche, returns to plug his new album at the Komedia.
04/03 - Brighton favourites The loveGods play their first hometown gig of 2005 at the Old Market. I forgot the password but I'm the band's stalker.
05/03 - First gig of the month at the Concorde when the Jim Beam Tour rolls in featuring a number of bands including The Raveonettes and Dogs.
07/03 - Another good line-up at the Concorde with Eighties Matchbox B-line Disaster, British Sea Power and Electric Soft Parade all appearing for another tsunami fundraiser. However I'm gonna check out Lemon Jelly at the Dome instead.
08/03 - It's another close call but the Dome wins again with Doves and Hal in concert, just ahead of The Go! Team and The Pipettes playing at the Concorde.
09/03 - Old indie stalwarts The Wonderstuff play the Concorde. It must be about 13 years since I saw last saw them on their "farewell" tour. Will they still be playing all the old hits? Probably.
11/03 - Heh heh, it's Comic Relief night and Daniel Kitson will be here at the Pavilion Theatre "shuffling around and being funny". Oh yes he will. Unmissable.
20/03 - Derren Brown is at the Theatre Royal where he will no doubt be freaking out the entire audience with his amazing tricks of the mind. I think I've left it too late to get a ticket though, dammit!
26/03 - It's a quiet week so it could be worth checking whether Ian Brown has learnt how to sing in tune yet over at the Brighton Centre. He hadn't when I last saw him a couple of years back, but he's a likeable soul and has some good tunes under his belt now.
30/03 - One of the best albums of last year was the self-titled debut from Nouvelle Vague; Eighties alternative classics redone in a bossa-nova style with breathy French female vocals. Somehow it works... and now they're performing it all live at the Komedia.
