December Live

Man, it's been a bit of a lacklustre Autumn / Winter run in on the live scene. There should be loads of cool bands playing around this time of year but I've found it really tough to come up with much to recommend this month. Anyway, here's the few highlights for December:

01/12 - Tonight it's your Rory Bremners at the Dome. Is he still funny?

02/12 - Feeder are playing at Brighton Centre. I missed them at the Dome last time around but they went down well, and their singles are generally pretty good.

03/12 - I'm going to a preview screening of The Proposition at the Duke Of York's which will be followed by a Q&A with the director John Hillcoat and writer / composer Nick Cave. After that's done it's straight to the Pavilion to check out The loveGods for the final time this year.

08/12 - LCD Soundsystem return to Brighton after their gig at the Concorde at the beginning of the year - this time they're at the Event. How come we're not selling tickets, Dave?

09/12 - Ben Elton is doing his new stand up show at the Dome. Is he still funny?

12/12 - It's a quick return for Stereophonics after their show here in August... they're playing at Brighton Centre this time with support from The Subways.

14/12 - Another Brighton Centre date, this time the first of two nights of Little Britain. Will we all piss ourselves laughing, or will that just be Mrs Emery the incontinent granny?

And that's about it for 2005. Looking ahead to January I've just noticed that Daniel Kitson has announced two shows at the Komedia, so it looks like that will be the first big night out of 2006.
