What was more Impressive? The band or the following? They’ve been around since 2018 and have picked up a strong diehard fanbase along the way and they are only onto their second album ‘Falling Out of View’. I attend a lot of gigs either solo or with one to two friends but for this one,…
Last night was the Hot Wax instore at Vinilo Record Store in Southampton, and what a night. Not your usual instore where you get a few songs, they smashed through a nine song setlist, much to the appreciation of those in attendance. I first saw this three piece perform in a support slot at the…
Dead Man’s Pistol, the Winchester based metal outfit storm their set at The Hobbit in Southampton. A deceptive venue that’s been in existence under its current guise since 1989. A pub upstairs, with stairs leading down to a smallish venue space then a tiered beer garden that would make any establishment envious, complete with outside…
The K’s took over the 1865, the fast energy rock from the indie rock band from Earlestown, Merseyside brought the house down. Delivered in their own was which switches from relaxed aloof swagger to down on the knees string killing guitar abuse. A great rhythm section backs it all up. The crowd was pumped even…
Last night it was Ian Broudie’s The Lightning Seeds taking to the stage at the 1865 in Southampton, I was lucky enough to be front row seeing them at Victorious Festival earlier this year but was not going to miss them on the 35 Years of Tour as well. Having been a fan since ‘Life…
I’m sure it was just pure coincidence the Cast played in Southampton the same day that Southampton played Everton at home. There were certainly a lot of Liverpool accents at the gig although John Power is reportedly a passionate Liverpool fan so I very much doubt it. The band took to the stage to a…
Miles Hunt, front man of The Wonder Stuff played a special seated acoustic set at Papillon in Southampton. Billed as performing songs from his solo album ‘Things Can Change’ along with many classics from his 36 year career. It was so much more than that. One of the biggest problems I’m sure for any artist…
The Stereo MC’s brought there distinctive brand of Hip Hop and Electronic dance to Southampton, much to the delight of a packed crowd at The Brook. I’ve seen them a number of times in the past at festivals and earlier this year supporting the Happy Mondays but to see them in such an intimate setting…
An intimate venue for a outstore for a band this good in support of their latest album, ‘The Last Flight’, just released on the 4th of October. Following on from past albums by focusing on moments in history such as the space race or climbing Everest. The Last Flight focuses on and musically charts the…
I do like a good instore, commonplace now for bands. Intimate yet relaxed and that could not be more true than yesterday for Shed Seven at Vinilo in Southampton. I’ve done a few now and I know the hows, dos and do nots, best place to try to stand etc. This was however, my first…
