A glorious day in the sunshine, we didn’t get there too early so missed the early bands with the intention of making it there for The Snuts. Anyone who went will know they were substituted last minute for The Sherlocks but a great swap as they gave a superb hour of guitar based indie rock…
In 2003 we had tickets to see Placebo at Southampton Guildhall, cancelled due to injury which if I remember rightly was tendinitis. 21 years later I finally got to see them, not quite at the Guildhall, literally just outside, close enough. Outdoor Southampton Summer Sessions are running for a number of days / weeks sponsored…
Yes it’s an easy title to this post seeing as I was in the ‘Electric Ballroom’ in Camden but, he was! I didn’t search out set lists from previous gigs I just turned up an hour early to queue as I wanted a close up view and waited. It was my first time at the Electric…
Attitude! Attitude! ATTITUDE! They smiled, they scowled, they sang, they screamed one second as if performing a nursery rhyme then punching the air and contorting like an Alice in Wonderland villain! Maybe it was the white outfits with thick frills and corsets along with the doll like movement choreography that at times made me think…
Headline act Hot Wax went through the ringer a bit last night but it only made the crowd love them more. Eatboys, Wonderlux and Citi Dog all ploughed through their sets, then the gremlins hit. They take to the stage and singer Tallulah Sim-Savage had no mike, after a minute of so of screaming in…
45th Anniversary UK Tour to celebrate the 45th anniversary of both the ‘Replicas’ (1979 as Tubeway Army) and ‘The Pleasure Principle’ (1979). Its going old school! I drove down the coast to Boscombe to the O2 Academy as I’ve done more times than I can remember, starting back in 1991 when it was just the Academy in…
Dangerous to my ears maybe, loud! But a case of who cares, they were headlining a small tour and loving every minute. A great band I follow, great songs, great melodies, just a great balance of sound which when given a live stage is amplified, in a great way! Gloves are off, the melodic guitar…
Went in cold (metaphorically as only had a quick Spotify listen on the way there), came out with a playlist, signed record and a plus ticked on my Spotify. They were a great live act that im pleased i’ve seen. Towards the end he said “we’ve only got two songs left, these will be high…
Met these lads last year after a day of music, I walked into the Joiners in Southampton and for me they owned the day / night. It wasn’t a competition but when you stand back and reflect on your day, they stood out by a mile. Dates haven’t lined up for gigs since but this…
I last saw Pop Will Eat Itself in the latter part of 2022, doesn’t seem that long ago. They were fantastic then, they were fantastic tonight! But why expect any different! It’s PWEI!! Coming on to ‘The Incredible P.W.E.I. vs. the Moral Majority’, the opening track of ‘Cure for Insanity’ and rolling into ‘Dance for…
