Or are they all just misreading the word 'indie'. Could be the same reason the MMIS page is getting the same followers. They're all big fans of Indiapop

You'll be hearing from my lawyers regarding "unauthorised use of screenshot"

Yeah, that was annoying. I had to check that I wasn't actually a bot. Was about to give up, then realised I was eligible via O2 Priority, despite not being on O2, through having Virgin Media broadband and it was much easier than the fan presale

They say you shouldn't wish bad things to happen to awful people but recently I've lost two friends and my dad and Nigel fucking Farage is still alive spouting division and hatred and I will never stop lamenting the fact that the cunt didn't die in that plane crash

What an amazing evening! Thanks so much to Big Other, Precious Metals and @fortitudevalley.bsky.social for playing, Sidney and Matilda for having us and the hordes of people who came out on a rainy Sunday night for live music!

⚠️Very, very low ticket warning⚠️

As in, there may only be seven left across various ticket sites.

Ha! I literally got in the car earlier as this was playing and had to check I hadn't accidentally put a different station on

Apparently it's pronounced "feen-uh". Had I been there this week, I'd have doubtless corrected Joel on air

Not enough bands erect a tent mid-set and encourage everyone to get in it, while performing in front of an inflatable castle on stage

Pretty sure I was at the Allo Darlin show at Queens too. So I must have seen The Sweet Nothings back then after all, a full two years before I actually met Dan and Pete when I moved to Walkley

There's an old couple playing Yahtzee on the train with really noisy dice and I'm looking back fondly on all those times there's been someone playing shit music without headphones

Billy Idol was wearing a Billy Idol t-shirt. He took it off, throw it into the crowd, left the stage and emerged in a full length shiny leather jacket and did White Wedding. If that's not the perfect warm up for Kraftwerk I don't know what is

They cut the sound off as they were overrunning. They proceeded to do Wrote For Luck, seemingly oblivious to their silencing as it was so loud in their monitors. And that errant full stop has been annoying me ever since

Currently watching the. Happy Mondays. There is only one person here who doesn't know the words to Step On. Unfortunately that person is Shaun Ryder

I am in London, otherwise I'd be at this. But you should go, if you're in the vicinity
