Typically with tour announcements your first instinct is your best. If you originally reacted to the news of a new Gossip gig with the thought, "Twenty quid to hear Standing In the Way Of Control? No thanks!" Chances are that opinion isn't going to change anytime soon. If your faith wavers however, you can always refer to the trusty guide below.
The Horrors ( 3-20 December): Possible Mercury winners come this evening. Should sound better indoors than through the meat shredder of a Festival Republic PA system.
Doves (December 18th - Manchester Central): I saw Doves live at the Poole Lighthouse once. The best bit was when then went off for the encore and rolled a VT which showed them pop in taxi off down the pub. A mosh pit to Black And White Town consisting entirely of balding middle aged men was also fun.
The Gossip (28-30 November): Refer to the intro...
Marilyn Manson (9-17 December): Was once known as the 'God of Fuck', a phrase that can now inevitably be twisted into the casual dismissal "Gawd I wish he'd fuck off".
Florence And The Machine (6-13 December): An enigmatic performer with a sketchy debut to work with but could choose worse.
Seasick Steve (2-17 September): Not a draw that's likely to add anything new to his Sothern Hobo schtick if you've heard it before. Still if you haven't, there are few more cheery ways to while away an evening.
Arctic Monkeys (13-26 November): A pickle. On the one hand Alex Turner has all the personality of a cardboard cut-out of Lezo from Newsround. On the other, his band have more than their fair share of tunes to compensate.
