Last gig of the year last night seeing The Manatees play a hometown headline show at The 1865 in Southampton as the final night of their autumn ‘Consequence’ tour, with support from local bands Oxygen and Sonne. The Manatees took to the stage just after 9 a delivered a rousing high energy alt-indie set that had the crowd…
Tonight a took the chance to go and see Villanelle and to get the elephant in the room out the way, yes it’s Gene Gallagher, son of Liam Gallagher’s band. Oasis did play The Joiners 31 years ago on the 29th of March 1994, but that’s where any talk of Oasis stops. Tonight was about Villanelle….
It was a Sunday night in Bournemouth and I’ve just seen the Snuts! Yes that means something! The Snuts took to the stage to the expected cheers. I’ve been a fan, vinyl buyer and regular streamer for a while now but seeing them in a small arena is just another level. They’ve been a band…
Biffy Clyro, The Biff, Biffy Fuckin Clyro, the Scottish alt-rock trio, have announced a mammoth gig at Finsbury Park in London next July and I for one would not miss it for anything. I was number 1011 in the queue when they went on pre-sale which I think is my record on any Ticketmaster queue…
I dropped in to see Pentire on what was the penultimate show of their tour on a sold out evening at Heartbreakers in Southampton. If you don’t know Heartbreakers it’s a small 100 capacity independent venue almost no stage so you’re eye to eye with the band and it gets hot and loud, perfect! Online…
The Clause are on tour promoting their first album release, ‘Victim Of A Casual Thing’ which has gone top 20 in the album charts and No.1 in the indie charts and it is well deserved. I first saw The Clause at The Chalk in Brighton three years ago as the first support act before for…
Reef stopped off in Southampton at The 1865 on their 30th Anniversary Tour of the album Replenish, yes 30 years ago. An English rock band, sometimes called at the time surf rock, originally from Glastonbury with founder members Gary Stringer on vocals and Jack Bessant on bass, now with Amy Newton on guitar and Luke…
It was a swift ticket grab when the notification popped up that Senser were coming to town, to be honest it’s just as swift if it’s a couple of hours away like the last two times in Bristol. Always a great show put on by a band I’ve been listening to since I first heard…
Last night we went to The Joiners in Southampton to see Only the Poets for their ‘Going back to where it began’ tour. The first of two shows on the evening. I had heard good things about them so thought I’d go and see for myself. Only the Poets are an English band from Reading…
