In 2012 I managed to average seeing over a gig a week, so have seen a lot of live music throughout the year - here are my top 10 picks of 2012 - did you make it to any of these:
#10: Graham Coxon - 19th April @ Sound Control
#09: Toy - 10th April @ Soup Kitchen
#08: A Place to Bury Strangers - 16th September @ Ruby Lounge
#07: Amon Tobin - 19th May @ Academy 1
#06: The Barr Borthers - 3rd May @ Soup Kitchen
#05: Savages - 24th July @ Deaf Institute
#04: Alabama Shakes - 12th November @ Academy 1
#03: The Stone Roses - 29th June @ Heaton Park
#02: We Are Augustines - 4th March - Night & Day Cafe
#01: The Beach Boys - 28th September - Wembley Arena
I couldnt find any good quality clips of the Wembley show, but here is a trailer for the DVD from the same 50th Anniversary tour to give you an idea of how good these old men from California were - it was a true delight to see the Beach Boys still nailing those harmonies and delivering some FUN FUN FUN - which is why has to be my gig of the year!!!
