Last few I have been to:
Wildhearts, Stoke Sugarmill - Good as usual but not the energy they had on stage a few years back when I last saw them.
Hadouken, Preston - Fun gig, was a bit full of kids but a good laugh all the same.
Cribs, Manchester - Decent but was put off by long queues at the Apollo and an audience ironically full of scenesters.
Idlewild, Manchester - still awesome, still different every time, still turned up after a tour bus breakdown!
Bloc Party, Leeds - Badly let down by sound issues and kept breaking the set up but good none the less, just maybe not as good as I expected.
Passion Pit, Manchester - Surprisingly good actually, really enjoyed the set up to the point that the keyboard player got in a piss when someone threw a drink in his vintage keyboard.
Green Day, Manchester - Real let down, they seem to have become some kind of stage act with coreographed guests from the audience on stage. Atmosphere in the crowd was shit too.
Biffy Clyro, Manchester - Awesome, everything was good, the set, the crowd even the queue at the bar was bearable!
