Have you been to see any live music in the past few days? If so, how was it? We'd like to hear about your gig-going, good or bad, impressive or disappointing, in the thread below.
Also: if you're at a gig any time soon and would like to tell us about it, send us a tweet or an Instagram image, and include the tag #gdngig. If possible, it would be great if you could add location as well, as that'll hopefully help us in tracking your message down to potentially use in any future projects like this one.
Here are some the gigs our writers have been to in the past few days:
I Am Kloot at St Philip's Church, Salford
Dave Simpson said: Frontman John Bramwell's no rocking vicar, though his songs are sermons of sorts: gritty but pretty symphonies about life on the slopes delivered with morality, humanity, drama and empathy. Read more
Bon Iver at Wembley Arena, London
Kitty Empire said: The overarching effect is something akin to Kanye West's 808s & Heartbreak, gone Americana, crossed with the stadium-sized yearning of Coldplay, and inflected with jazz. Not your typical Wembley fodder, then. Read more
Death Grips at Electric Ballroom, London
Mark Beaumont said: Writhing his tattooed Terminator torso like a snake and throwing hydraulic punches into the air, the growling, barking MC Ride leads his backroom team Zach Hill and Andy Morrin through a tirade of disturbing danger-step that's just as much hardcore punk, glitchtronica and industrial doom-goth as it is hip-hop.

Kindness at Heaven, London
Caroline Sullivan said: There is nothing futuristic about Kindness's on-stage configuration, which recalls a 1970s American funk band: there are female backing singers, a powerhouse rhythm section and the baseball-capped, satin-shirted Adam Bainbridge, who careens between microphone and drum kit.

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti at Stereo, Glasgow
Malcolm Jack said: Even as his second album for 4AD, Mature Themes, takes the Beverly Hills experimentalist's once cassette-only music into hitherto unthinkably hi-fi realms, it remains a static hiss of confusing contradictions: beholden to the crisp 1970s AM pop of Todd Rundgren or Hall and Oates, and yet clouded in a fog of strangeness.

@guardianmusic I went to see Gojira last night & they were fab. Even the drum solo. Heavy, beautiful, on top form. #gdngig

@guardianmusic Cloud Nothings at Village Underground last tuesday, incredible performance. Attack on Memory is painfully overlooked. #gdngig
