writing about the no-go gig ruckus over new year’s eve made me look around at who’s playing live in the next few months. it’s been a while since i go to gigs on a regular basis. and it’s also been a while since i followed the current metal scene. like medicine, you’d get out of touch with what’s dope if you don’t read / watch kerrang! for six months. one thing that made me not follow the metal scene as closely anymore is that, like most current music, the bands have a shelf-life as short as the word pisang (haven’t they?). like rap / hip-hop acts. hahaha. also, most of my friends are of the milder rock / emo / punk persuasion. think my chemical romance. yup.

i usually go to gigs of bands i listen to, and rarely to check out new acts. these are the few gigs that have taken my fancy.

which one(s) should i go to? help!


i’d love to check out trivium in nottingham but i may be going to a malaysia night (it’s been a while since i’ve been to one of those as well!) then.

at the mo’, i do have tix to see this one. haha. shoot me. i don’t care.
