There was a four-piece string section. There were like fourteen people on stage, which was sort of absurd.

I'm not seeing them tonight, about a month away.

Recently went to see Danny Brown for the second time. However, half way through his set he had a cup of plastic water thrown at him (not by me) and he walked off. He didn't come back out either.

Watch Danny Brown get a drink thrown at him in Glasgow

He played a batch of new stuff, so I reckon there's a new record on the way.

Going to see American Football and This Town Needs Guns at the same venue in May.
Super excited as I don't think American Football have played shows in my musical lifetime (i.e. the time I've been invested in music) and TTNG, at least before they replaced their vocalist, were one of the best new acts of the last couple years. Couldn't have asked for a better support act.

Almost went to that Danny Brown show, turned out for the best that I didn't!

You saved your time.
Support acts were pretty decent, two grime MC's.
Got the crowd going. Admittedly is was comprised almost solely of neds.

Saw Danny at the Arches last February and he was really good. Charismatic, energetic and played a good selection of his most fitting songs - no use in playing Party All the Time and dampening the atmosphere - but obviously despite being a man who's abused his body with more drugs than bares thought, a plastic cup of water was enough for him to want to break down. Strange.

I don't think anyone has any right to throw anything at a performer, but I don't feel that action justified Danny's decision to walk out on a room of well paying, respectful fans who had paid money to see him perform.

Who was supporting Danny? Guessing Kitty isn't with him for that no more.

Mumdance: - plays a lot of wonky experimental grime electronica.

Riko Dan: - a grime MC who loves smiling. No idea what he was saying most of the time and no idea who he was/is. Was decent at getting the crowd warmed up though.

There was another grime MC who I didn't get a name for. He was advertised as a special guest. Nobody seemed to know who he was.
I know Danny has always been an outspoken backer of the genre so I see why he's giving these guys exposure.

Last time I saw him, Vic Mensa was supporting. No idea who Kitty is, my man.

****, Mumdance is excellent.

Guess I'm seeing D'Angelo & the Vanguard in June now. My life's the illest.

Tedeschi Trucks in June. I'll be going with my daughter and my Dad. This will be a first for all of us going to a concert together, so it's gonna be kind of special.
