Brand New UK Tour February 2012

I was lucky enough to catch three shows of Brand New’s recent UK tour, each one more amazing than the last. Cardiff, the last date of the tour, and the date which Gareth also attended was easil...

Brand New – Cardiff University Great Hall, Cardiff 17/02/12

  In 2010 I saw Brand New in the less than intimate surroundings of Wembley Arena, I went into that gig knowing a couple of their songs and wouldn’t have considered myself a fan. On that night,...

Electric Six – More Than Just Gay Bar

There is more to Electric Six than simply ‘Gay Bar’ & ‘Danger! High Voltage’, and whilst they’re highly unlikely to be winning any Ivor Novello awards for their song writing, they are, I believe,...

What came first, the obnoxious, or the internet?

I’ve never used this blog to express my feelings on gig etiquette before, but I think that now is the time to delve into the subject and I’m sure that I’ve read things on this subje...

My Chemical Romance, Cardiff International Arena

My Chemical Romance are a band I have loved for a long time. I first saw them supporting Taking Back Sunday and it still seems crazy to me that they’ve been selling out arenas for years now. Th...

Ben Folds, HMV Institute, Birmingham

Ben Folds is someone who I’ve wanted to see for a long time and there was a small doubt in my mind that he’d be able to live up to the idea of how good I thought he’d be. Thankfully...

Belle & Sebastian – Colston Hall, Bristol 16/12/10

Before I tell you about the gig, let me just say, what a nightmare it was getting to Bristol for this. The last Thursday before Christmas and it appears everyone is trying to go late night shopping. ...

Manic Street Preachers, O2 Academy Birmingham

The Manic Street Preachers are my favourite band, and one of the many reasons for this is their undeniably brilliant live performances and this show was no exception. Despite battling against the flu...

Arcade Fire – CIA, Cardiff

The Gaslight Anthem, O2 Academy Oxford

I caught the Gaslight Anthem’s set at Reading Festival last year and was amazed at their ability to grab the attention of the entire tent and bring them together to sing along to their most wel...

New Arcade Fire Material

With Arcade Fire’s 3rd album close to being released on August 2nd a couple of tracks have been released. I must say, I’m pleasantly surprised. So far I’ve had the chance to listen ...

Alkaline Trio, O2 Academy Bristol

Alkaline Trio are one of the few bands with the talent to pull off writing sinister, morbid songs and somehow having them end up disturbingly upbeat. Harnessing the same skill they manage to make the...

The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster – Joiners, Southampton

It has been 5 long years since their last album and 3 years since their last release The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster are primed to make a triumphant comeback after so long in the wilderness. Du...

LCD Soundsystem – Bristol Academy

In the midst of the build up to the release of their new album ‘This Is Happening’ LCD Soundsystem made a stop at the sold out O2 Academy. I arrived at venue at around 9pm, after having a drink in th...

Franz Nicolay, Cafe Tarifa Oxford

Franz Nicolay is now referred to with ‘formerly of The Hold Steady’ attached to his name as if it were a part of it, like an extension of his surname. It is hardly fair to use such a thin...

Everybody Was In The French Resistance… Now, Bristol Thekla

Everyone Was In The French Resistance… Now are the collaborative side-project of Eddie Argos (best known for being the frontman of Art Brut) and Dyan Valdes (The Blood Arm), together they produ...

Gallows, Swindon Furnace

The show tonight is rescheduled from december last year and it’s a safe bet that very few people chose the refund option when the cancellation was announced. The small venue is packed out with ...

10 Years of ATP – Saturday

This was in my view the strongest day of the festival, so unsurprisingly this was my favourite day of the festival. But, it wasn’t just because of the music. This might sound odd, but possibly ...

Stereophonics, Oasis Leisure Centre, Swindon

This is one of Stereophonics warm-up shows for their upcoming UK tour in support of their new album, Keep Calm and Carry On and it’s proved so popular that the venue have over-sold tickets, the...

Reel Big Fish, O2 Academy Oxford

Despite the fairly miserable weather outside the crowd inside the O2 Academy are in alarmingly good spirits, after seeing two solid support acts in Sonic Boom Six and Big D and the Kids Table it̵...

Motion City Soundtrack – Her Words Destroyed My Planet

The best, and only definitively conclusive test you can do in order to determine whether or not a song is good is to play it, back to back and see how long you can stand it until you want to punch so...

Alkaline Trio – This Addiction

It seems that every album Alkaline Trio have released recently has incited numerous calls of ’sell out!’ coupled with a large amount of pleading that they go back to the days of their fir...
