Bloc Party - Dublin 2005

Bloc Party, live at the Olympic Theatre, Dublin, 7th November 2005

A little something from my vaults for you today, something I recieved so soon after the taping, as the guy didn't know Bloc Party's music there were no actual file names. Thank heaven for search engines then, as I'm more of a casual fan myself. The badn were hardly shy of putting out releases for each tour, by the time they arrived in Dublin there were at least three different versions of their debut album Silent Alarm, remixing and extending. Enjoy!

An actual retail release for you today, not something I usually do, but as this was a strictly limited release (1500 copies only), the chances are you're never going to get your hands on an actual copy.

Cold War Kids - Angouleme 2009

Cold War Kids, live at the Garden Nef Party, Angouleme, France, 18th July 2009

Cold War kids formed in Fullerton California, and amongst others are said to be influenced by Jeff Buckley (them and 6 million others if you beleive everything you're told...). Well, a little something to connect the two: In late 96, I think, Jeff took a poetry class while he was struggling to write for the follow-up to Grace, and while there wrote a piece called Fullerton Road Trick. Enjoy!

Pilotdrift - Grand Prarie 2005

Pilotdrift, live at the 6th Annual Holiday Extravaganza, Grand Prarie, 16th December 2005

The more observant of you will notice this is the same event that the show I posted of The Polyphonic Spree was from, and Pilodrift were there for good reason, as they had just signed to the Spree's new label Good Records. Seems as if they didn't stick together for too long, two of the members leaving to join the US Special Forces of all things. Not sure why they're refered to as The Chimney Tops by the taper though...Enjoy!

The Polyphonic Spree - Grand Prarie 2005

The Polyphonic Spree, live at the 6th Annual Holiday Extravaganza, Nokia Center, Grand Prarie, 16th December 2005

As you can probably surmise, from the event, tracks and the time of year, this was recorded at a Christmas show in Grand Prarie in Texas. They made a recording of Nirvana's Lithium (released as a b-side) which sounded great and played it many times live, but on this occasion they opted for a rather spiffing Beatles song instead. Enjoy!

As the headline suggests, N.I.N. played the final show of their current tour (and perhaps forever) at New York's Webster hall, by playing their iconic album The Downward Spiral in it's entirety. Of course they played more songs than that, but not until the job was done. Enjoy!

Ataxia - Los Angeles 2004

Ataxia, live at The Knitting Factory, Los Angeles, 2nd February 2004

Ataxia consist of John Frusciante, his good friend Josh Klinghoffer (who also plays occasionally with the other musicians in RHCP), and Fugazi drummer Joe Lally. Two seems to be a fairly strong number for Ataxia, as they spent two weeks in the studio, recorded two albums in that time, and played two, count 'em, two concert dates (don't quote me on that mind!), although they did play several sets...so this isn't something you'll see everyday.
