Hinds (Best active band in the world)

They have Mesa, San Diego, then a break, then Japan.

I told Ana I wasn't coming to Japan. "That's very disappointing," she said.

Then a bunch of European dates in the summer. Nothing in New York she says, but a new album is on the cards.

I do agree that Hinds is the best female rock band around (though I have a soft spot for Wet Leg), but isn't it obvious that Fontaines DC is the very best band overall?

And Grian Chatten is a close friend of Hinds.

Were you able to attend the semi-secret Wet Leg show last week?  I was unable to attend the one here due to screwing up the on sale time.

@hollywood I regret and withdraw my earlier comment. I am so happy that you like Hinds. Not only have others on Mouthfuls been prompted to see them, but friends and indeed my daughter, and while not necessarily becoming obsessed nobody has said, why are you bothering they're crap.

I should check out Fontaines DC, but essentially you are right. I was so lucky to get on this journey with this amazing live band (and with Ana) and joyous to see where it goes.

Just to keep you up to date, Fontaines' single "It's Amazing to be Young" will be released on a limited edition "neon yellow" vinyl on April 25, 2025, with a second unreleased track, "Before You I Just Forget", written by guitarist Conor Curley.

I wish. I don't know what their management arrangements are. I don't see a manager on the road with them. Maybe Ana and CC manage themselves although they must have a booking agent. I should inquire.

They have a show coming up in Sabadell which is not far from Barcelona, but it's a festival with a stack of bands and it's in May. Barcelona in July or August would work.

They are also playing my old college town in August. No US dates.

You could be the next Jon Landau.
