Saw A Sunny Day in Glasgow play the other night. Really fucking good. Streets ahead of any other "nugaze" band, on all fronts. See/hear them if you get a chance.
Indie Renaissance?

I think REM are still remembered fondly as a classic rock band in North America but I get the feeling that nobody pays much attention to what they're doing now and I think they have trouble selling out big arenas the way they still effortlessly do in Europe. Of course, I don't have any actual statistics to back any of this up but these are the impressions I get.
Quite enjoying a couple of songs off the new Serena-Maneesh album.

I just got a promo of their latest EP from their label Big Scary Monster I've not had chance to listen yet but the stuff on the myspace sounded alright. I've got a lot of love for BSM: Meet Me In St. Louis & This Town Needs Guns are fantastic bands.

yeah i like meet me in st louis from what i remember of them. tall ships live show is really special. they blew away the band they were supporting. all of them seem to play every instrument, the drummer brought equipment down and played it with people around him, the bassist played a guitar and a bass at the same time at one point... it was all really impressive

Nice, I'll have to check them out next time they're around my way it sounds pretty impresive.
It's been a while since I've been to a gig with an acctual band playing, I've been hanging out in clubs instead. But Today I got tickest for the Youthmovies fair well tour before they split up, I'm really looking forwad to the gig. The last time I saw them play was in Leeds and they where amazing, then I went to the West Indian Centre right after and the Iration Steppas blew my face off with bass, as did 2562. Quality night that one.

subdub is legendary. a bloody good night out. dragon stout and earplugs all the way!!!
that was the first 'gig' i'd been to in about 2 years actually (tall ships, not subdub, i don't count subdub as gigging)

Indie Rock is like House,
It's not a type of music its an entire world, it's never gone away and has all kinds of parallel and completely isolated scenes all over the world.
