Tindersticks - London Blackheath Halls

I have always enjoyed the music of Tindersticks, and with the release of their new album 'Can Our Love'on Beggars' Banquet, it sees the band back on form after the disappointing 'A Simple Pleasure'. Blackheath Halls is a nice venue to see the band for me.


Reviews


The Something Rain (2012)
Tindersticks - The Something Rain

Fine latest album from the much acclaimed Tindersticks, which proves to be slight departure from their usual sound


Falling Down a Mountain (2010)
Tindersticks - Falling Down a Mountain

Excellent eighth album of often surprisingly upbeat rock from notoriously melancholic Nottingham-based group, Tindersticks


Boobar Come Back to Me (2008)
Tindersticks - Boobar Come Back to Me

Captivating new vinyl single from Tindersticks which while unlikely to win them any new fans further still consolidates their reputation


The Hungry Saw (2008)
Tindersticks - The Hungry Saw

Excellent vinyl only comeback single and title track from their new album for Tindersticks, which has an exceptional B side


The Hungry Saw (2008)
Tindersticks - The Hungry Saw

Superb first Tindersticks album in five years, which recalls much of their past, but also brings something distinctive and new to the sound


Waiting For The Moon (2003)
Tindersticks - Waiting For The Moon

Familiar, yet also occasionally surprising latest collection of "agonised beauty and heartache" from the Tindersticks, who continue on their sixth album to make a success out of failure


Can Our Love (2001)
Tindersticks - Can Our Love
