Okay, so not a Coventry gig, but just come across a band called The Coventry.




Very 80's sound with a Cocteau Twins/Cure/Bauhaus kind of vibe.

Anyone heard of them? ARE they from Coventry I wonder.

No. They seem to be foreign.

I wonder why The Coventry?

Maybe they heard we are the 98th best club in the world.

Currently nursing a hangover after seeing Elvana last night at HMV Empire.
It wasn’t a full house but they didn’t disappoint.

Nothing but Thieves at Resorts World tonight.

Nor been to a ‘big concert venue’ for a while’ - maybe I’m old but I prefer the smaller venues.

And/or I’m still cold and moody from the way longer than expected walk from International to the Arena with a partner in heels…

Any good? They're supporting Green Day which is slightly annoying as other places have Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid, The Hives or The Interrupters

Have only listened to a couple of tracks but wasn't too impressed

Soon to be playing shows in Hull and Keele.
They do their gigs with a stern expression but always bow to the audience at the end.

They were quite good live - not as good as others. They have quite a range of songs, so quite tricky for their lead singer I reckon.

I was surprised how many of their songs I knew actually, so that certainly helped!

I was tempted, but with it being the night before the Cov game I couldn’t get a pass out two nights in a row!

Got two of those social life ruiners also known as kids, which means it isn’t as easy as that unfortunately!

No - two tribute bands. I think.
There may just be the music of JD but these Smiths are deffo a tribute act.

OK, update: The first band on were called 'Transmission'. I'm sure you can guess the rest.
Quite good actually.

The K’s at the Empire tonight.

Hadn’t heard of them three weeks ago, but been look at local venues (Birmingham, Coventry, Leicester etc) and this one stood out as a date that worked and for £16 a ticket it was worth it.

I’ve spent the last three weeks listening to them to the point I’m genuinely excited now!

Dragged my partner along and just had a pint at The Flying Standard as novelty, I’m not in the good books!

Pretty sure it won't be sold out.

I'm at the rugby too.

Could be messy by the time Gedge and co. take the stage.

Not Coventry, but if anyone is thinking about going to see Tom Clarke at the O2 Academy (B'ham) on the 27th, I've got a link to tickets for £5. Just ask.

Just wondering about Godiva this year, not if any of these are council events but doesn't bode well if commercial ventures.
