I bought tickets for Senser today for their gig at Reading Uni. I've also been talking about The Wildhearts and Therapy? who are playing in Oxford tomorrow night, part of the same awesome tour that I saw in Bristol. Something that was described as a has-been's night out.

Now to me Senser, Therapy? and The Wildhearts are all absolute classic bands from the mid-90s that I'd love kids today to get into so I'm wondering whether I'm seeing them all with the sheen of hindsight. I have been listening to Senser's Eject (as well as Brunt, the new track you can get from their website) and it's as lively as ever. Am I just remembering those nights jumping around in the After Dark with a pint of Cider or were they really good?

On the new front, not only is the Reading Festival the most exciting for years (yes, yes, the headliners are terrible but the Radio 1 stage additions are absolutely brilliant) but bands like Caged Baby and Floodshock! are starting to bring something young new and interesting in the local scene. They remind me what it was like when I was that young and in a band. With that in mind I created the embarassing blast from the past thread on Berkshire Live.

Tomorrow night:
The Wildhearts + Therapy? in Oxford
or
Yankee nine-niner at Gossips in Soho
or
Traditional Bar Oz Thursday night (Reading)
or
My Luminaries at Scruffy Murphys (Reading)

A tough decision.
