Marc Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 The Others with the Rakes and the Ludes.Not the best bands ive seen at the lemontree but was the best night. I think the others are really good live, especially liked the mini stage invasions and the on stage girl fight. The afterparty was a really good laugh aswell.Really looking forward to the complete stone roses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Low were amazing when they played the lemon tree.agreed, but they were better than amazing @ The Liquid Rooms (twice)Have seen many fantastic bands & artists since the 1st week The Lemon Tree opened, but the one that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand-up was Cat Powershe was on the edge, but perfect. ps Spiritulized were much better @ The Music Hall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
french_disko Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 ps Spiritulized were much better @ The Music HallAgree with you there. Which one though? With Mercury Rev? Or with the Springheel Jack DJs? The LT gig was the eighth time I'd seen them & have to admit to leaving feeling a bit underwhelmed, unfortunately.

french_disko Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 The 1 band only rule makes this very tough. I'll whittle it down a bit by picking something no-one else has mentioned (and i know that quite few people absolutely hated) - Pink Grease at The Mute records night at Triptych 04. Their trashy glam punk tracks might not be everyone's taste' date=' or hugley original for that matter, but in terms of rock 'n' roll excess and destruction, ludicrous banter and dumb fun they were hard to beat.[/quote']I thought Pink Grease were awful, I just pissed myself laughing then headed upstairs. Still, to their credit, they took us along to a party after the gig which was a laugh. And double credit to the drummer for washing the dishes at the party! Rock n' roll, eh?

jimr Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 cat power, she sat on my foot.Liars were also rather good from what I remember but that was also the night I got really drunk and left my ex alone for no particular reason at all. Forever remembered as night of drunken wanderings and missing wire.I also concur on the terribleness of pink grease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Temple Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 I was going to say Liars, but I'll go for something no-one's yet mentioned: Broadcast supported by The Projects. An amazing journey into a retro-futurist idea of spaceIs no-one going to mention Willard Grant Conspiracy?(see how I cunningly get round offramps rules by mentioning 3 gigs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have never heard of them since either! Since I have already picked my favourite I would also like to give mention to Clinic, Th' Legendary Shack Shakers, Rocket From The Crypt, The Kills (first time more than second).

Marsh Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Ash at the Lemon Tree many moons ago was one of my favourites.Warmest gig ever.Good call. The lights were pretty amazing that night as well. That was some gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsh Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 annie christian sometime in early 1997 on a rainy Wednesday night for a Pound Club gig. Maple supported, I think. One of those young "I believe in the power of rock" moments filled up inside of me that night. Brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Projects were very good, some links to Stereolab there too I believe? I have their EP too and it is great, but they also now have an album out on Track & Field.

I got a 3" CD at that which I treasure to this day but fear the warning inside it that makes me think it'll destroy any player that I put it into...

If it wrecks the decks (!), tell management that Maxwell poured beer on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psydoll Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Description here and a review hereI got sent it via MSN by some brave soul who'd managed to get it burnt onto their PC. It works fine in my personal CD player I've discovered just now which is good as it's perfect for relaxing 'going to sleep' sorta music. I'll stick it on a cd-r and take it to Exodus for you at some point if you want? I won't be in on Saturday but I'll try and leave it in the booth tomorrow night if you like and Dave can hunt it out for you (presuming Doolittle doesn't take a shine to it...)

From the ashes of UP came interesting music in other venues.The new Broadcast LP is due for release in Sept & by all accounts will surpass ha ha sound, which indeed will be a feat....interesting music will tonight have the brilliant Thomas Truax with support fromserg buzfuz & the Kithchen cynics +Phil Flute @ The Tunnels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hog Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 The place was half empty but Paradise Lost. The time I saw them before was at Donington infront of 80,000 people I really wish I saw the GSYBE gig though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
