An internet junkie as well as a music addict, I have finally got round to getting myself a blog. This, as the description states, is (mostly) for any musings on my addiction that I wish to share with you all. Brief description of me: I'm female, 22 years old, currently live in Cardiff, UK and love music - usually, the more guitars the better!
So... to start 2006 with a recap of 2005's highlights:
At the last (hopefully accurate) count, I (and my ever so patient better half, M) went to 15 gigs last year, all in the UK. Not sure if thats a record as I haven't actually counted before! I'm awful at choosing favourites as I really enjoy every show I go to, but here goes: Soul SirkUS; U2; Motley Crue; The Subways (plus support from The Chalets); My Red Cell (now known as Innercity Pirates); Skid Row; Alabama 3; and the Tsunami Relief extravaganza held at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium. There, that's a start - any more and I'll have to start digging around for ticket stubs! As you can see I'm a bit of a classic rock nut, often been said I was born in the wrong decade! Exceptions to that are The Subways, the current indie/rock band of the moment (with good reason) and Innercity Pirates, fresh out of Barry, S Wales. Some more explanation perhaps for Soul SirkUS: US-based melodic hard rock band featuring my current fave singer, one Jeff Scott Soto - check out his homepage (there should be a link) for oodles of sound samples :)
On to 2006, first gig of the year coming up on Wednesday, we are off to see Goldfrapp at Cardiff University, who I (gasp) have yet to see live! Also have plans for Mogwai. What I'm really looking forward to (and will try not to repeat myself too often!) is seeing the Rolling Stones, who by a stroke of luck are playing the Millennium Stadium on my birthday! Rah!
Right. Think that about sums me up for the moment! Oh yes - there should be some links to some of my favourite sites, melodicrock.com for various bits of news and rumour, Jeff's site, and I forgot to add it but Stuart Cable's rock show on BBC Radio Wales, weekly blasts from the past, 7pm Mondays.
