The Fins Supporting The Rifles

lozza23_uk · 23-02-2009, 3:26 PM

The Fins are booked up to support The Rifles again, and I can't wait!

Not sure if any of you have heard of them, a UK indie/rock band that are making a stir on the national circuit. Anyone here a fan?

We are supporting:

26th March - The WaterFront - Norwich
27th March - 02 Academy - Birmingham
30th March - Rescue Rooms - Nottingham
31st March - The Ritz - Manchester

Sone of the biggest venues ever for this band, looking forward to it!
Wonder if their management might finally give in and take us under their wing

all this self management and self released records can be a real drag.

LOL - I used to play on our BMX's over 'the yard' with the lead singer (Ryan) and his older brother Steve when we lived in the same street in Farnborough in the mid-to-late 80's with all the other kids.

Those were the days!

Being a Fleet boy and loving The Rifles I'll check these out :thumbsup

O/T: Pity we suffer from a lack of live venues in our neck of the woods. Re-open The Tumbledown, that's what I say.

lozza23_uk · 25-02-2009, 5:58 PM

Fleet doesn't hold out much hope for indie bands really

I did play in teh highstreet on the back of a lorry once in Fleet though

Camberley has the Square Bar and The Agincourt.

Tumbledown has been a home for many years...rumour has it that soon it will re-open!!!!!

Aldershot has the Westy, and loads of other places around.

edit, and with jacks on your doorstep you cant complain????

The only way to go to Jaxx is not to remember going in or out

Curly

lozza23_uk · 27-02-2009, 1:06 PM

Wicked guys!!!

well make yourselves known, I will do my best to let you know stage times when we know.

Just keep an eye out for the scruffy drummer at the bar and say hi.

**Curly99** · 27-02-2009, 3:45 PM

The deed is done, I now have in my possession 1 ticket to the Nottingham gig

look out for a fat old bloke with short hair, glasses, trying to look young at the bar

Curly

lozza23_uk · 02-03-2009, 8:16 AM

haahaa, legend!

signs · 02-03-2009, 7:53 PM

My mate was supposed to pick the tickets up yesterday but he forgot

so he's doing it on the phone tonight ,are we meeting up for a beer then Curley and lozza ?

lozza23_uk · 02-03-2009, 9:39 PM

from the rescue rooms:
**EARLY SHOW 7pm-10pm. 14+**
Monday 30th March. £12.50adv.
THE RIFLES
+ NEW EDUCATION
+ THE FINS

So I suppose we will be on early!!! although that does give plenty of beer time afterwards

Not sure , but if it starts at 7 i may have to go straight there as it's about 20 mile from me, and we don't want to miss Lozza doing his thing

I'll Pm you my mobile number before hand and perhaps meet at the bar ?

Rob

**Curly99** · 03-03-2009, 7:35 PM

damn over 14's gigs, hope there's beer at the bar

Curly
