Just see Def Leppard/Motley Crue are playing Wembley and Take That are at Hyde Park on same day as Pulp in Finsbury Park. Hopefully there isnt an underground/rail strike..

\o/yeay\o/
But also, boo. Quite booo..
As someone housebound, this is as much interest to me as the last set of live performances they did.
Boooo...
Gimme new stuff.

Wet Leg down as support at Finsbury Park.  Which is kind of apt given my last experience of a gig at Finsbury Park

 Eeeew. Was it weewee?

 Yep.  And kinda unbelievably, girls wee wee 

Bridlington is £62.50 plus booking fee.

Pulp's promoters have clearly pitched them as an upper tier legacy act. These seem a bit high for me, thought I could try 3 or 4 dates and whack it all on the credit card but might have to reduce the number now.

I would have thought that their own shows without an all-day outdoor support list, would be closer to £50. Not saying they don't deliver value as Pulp live are obviously great but Jarv Is...gigs are half the price and you still get She's A Lady or His'n'Hers!

They have an alarming name but Wet Leg are a neat fit with Pulp I think. Anyone who hasnt heard them, give Wet Dream or Chaise Longue a go. The other obvious current big (and great) act to pair with them is Self Esteem - she sang with Hawley at a Leadmill fundraiser and Nick is often bigging her up on Twitter.

I am looking forward to seeing Wet Leg.  Was going to get a ticket to see them in their own right, however they are playing in  Kentish Town on 24 Nov, which seems to be the most popular gig date of the year for acts I like. Had already opted for Hugh Cornwell in Islington with Fontaines DC and Squeeze missing out.

Saw Wet Leg support The Strokes at Lytham Festival last July.

They've been hyped to the hilt. Very catchy, simple songs, quite repetitive but easy to get into at a festival. Much more effective than on record/streaming when a whole album of it gets a bit silly.

I've seen a couple of interviews and they're either incredibly shy and charming (especially Hester) or very rude and immature...or both! They do that thing that teenage girls sometimes do of looking into each others eyes when being talked-to as if they're embarrassed and just want to whisper to each other about the person speaking to them. Kinda charming at 14, a little more odd when in their late 20s.

But I think they've been friends since they were kids and are treating their whole success with a healthy does of absurdity.

Isle of Wight has been added, Pulp headlining on Fri June 15th.

As all being well I am due to be in Tipperary on Sunday 11th June, this is very tempting...

... and unusually for Ireland cheaper then the UK dates.
