Thought I'd whack a thread up on this as I will be there along with me lovely gf Lauren and my mate Ben. We have standing tickets so if you do to we will be the two tall guys and the girl with (dyed) red hair!
NOTE: This is now at the NIA not the NEC as it was in December

Just a thought if anyone is coming up for the gig and want to spend a day in Birmingham as the venue is right in the city centre, here are a few places to check out:
The Yardbird jazz club (just off centenary square by the library) for a drink and if the weather's nice to sit outside and relax
The Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery (again just by the library) has an exhibition of photographs featuring Obama's campaign staff during the last election (tis excellent)
The Victoria (at the back of the alexander theatre) is great for beer and food and alway has good music on
Swordfish Records (Temple Street opposite my flat!) has a backroom full of vinyl from £1 up
so there you go if you want any more info let me know
(yes I'm at work and can't be arsed)

Shitty news, Lauren can no longer go as she has to work until 10pm and boy is she pissed. First off she love THS, second she really loves Counting Crows and has never seen them live before and has been looking forward to this since last October! Its kinda bummed me out as I love watching people see a band they love for the first time, especially someone I care about so much.
Anyway, this does free up a ticket for anyone that fancies it. I'm gonna have to ask for face value just because they were expensive! so if interested just let us know via a PM on here

I highly recommend it. Some absolutely stunning pieces and the gallery itself is beautifully laid out to make the best of the collection

Well, a great short sharp 45mins that I reckon won a fair few new fans! Ben and myself were standing Kood-side and could see another small band of THS fans Franz-side that were rocking out as well. Lil Han was ultra excited for a very special reason...!
Kicked off with Positive Jam and then straight into Stations, after that I can't remember the exact order but we had:
Magazines, Adderall, Lord, Sequested, Stay Positive, Hoodrat, Navy Sheets, Constructive, Chips Ahoy and Slapped Actress.
I think that was the lot but feel free to correct me! All in all another great THS gig!

last night was purely epic.
my favourite band in my home city rocking the SHIT outta the cow shed that is the NIA. they blew everyone off that stage, i alienated everyone around me by having a fucking great time. there was shouting, flailing, dancing, WOO-HOOing and general merriment. such style. so tight.
i ran out of superlatives post-show. my head is spinning today, due to pure wonderment.
and did i mention?
I FUCKING LOVE THIS BAND.
