Found a couple of cool sites that list good rock shows and clubs:
artrocker.com
irlondon.co.uk
Used artrocker last night and found a really cool free show. It was at a pub, but the crowd was more of a house show crowd. A band from Brighton and Cambridge played called The Cathode Ray Syndrome. They were fucking amazing. Kind of mathy post rock. Imagine The Fucking Champs mixed with Mogwai and you might come close to an idea of what they sounded like. I picked up their cd, so I’ll pass it around when I get back.
I can’t stress how cool it was to go to a small show and see some local acts that I’ve never heard of. A lot of the other students are spending like £10 to get in to shitty clubs, and then paying for drinks once they get in there. I’m so glad I’m a crunkard—I harnessed the spirit of crunk to find last night’s free show and snuck in a bottle of Jack (which was still expensive— £9.99 / half liter). Daniel and I hung out with some of the guys from the band after the show and they smoked us out. Crunkards of the world are usually really friendly to each other.
