No idea what to expect here from the second support of the night. The stage was cleared from the previous support act, a guitar band, a guitarist walked on stage followed by the folding stands and three boards full of from what I could see equalisers? samplers? There was definitely a MacBook front and centre…
Virtuoso – A person highly skilled in music or another artistic pursuit. I’ve been looking forward to this one for a long time. The last time Gaz Coombes played local-ish it clashed with a birthday so I couldn’t attend. This didn’t clash, the venue was perfect, Papillon in Southampton, the stars had aligned. Ralfe band,…
The new album from Liam Gallagher and John Squire. I want to like it! I want to like it! I want to like it! I want to like it! I want to like it! I want to like it! I want to like it! I want to like it! I want to like it! I…
There are far more professional and well crafted reviews out there by well practiced journalists than this but I just want to say this album is lit, it’s boss, it’s a belter! ‘All change’ was released in 1995 and to date myself it was the year I went to University, it was released just 14…
Playing to a sold out crowd at The Joiners, a small independent venue with a capacity of 200, with this style of music, means literally shaking the foundations of the buildings either side with every song. A setlist of structural threat! Seriously though the audience literally made the ground move, that sprung floor, well I…
This band is fan favourite, singer Ollie Baxxter thanking all for coming to see the band, it was the audience thanking them. From Virginia, USA, the latest incarnation of Broadside now consisting of Ollie Baxxter on vocals, Pat Diaz on Bass guitar, Dom Reid, on guitar and Jeff Nichols on Drums. A pop-punk outfit well…
First on of three, with a crowd that obviously knew how good the support acts are and were not going to miss out. I cannot remember when The Joiners was that busy that early. Young Culture thanked those in attendance for turning out early to support but thanks wasn’t needed, this crowd was dialled in…
Put another way, what Vinyl will be in my basket? I always look ahead to see what Vinyl releases are imminent, I don’t have a direct link to any sources specifically telling me what is on the horizon so like everyone else I search sites to find out. There is nothing here you cannot find…
As a follow up to my Was thinking about the early 90s post. I went and found an original vinyl copy of the album and found the Funny How 7″ at the same time, yes I have it on CD boxed away in the loft as no CD player anymore but needed to add this…
That’s twice now, could become a habit! King Nun + Support from Hypothetics & President Elect It’s Independent Music Week, a great effort every year to support local venues and I saw King Nun announced. The plan was to see them In Bournemouth on the Thursday but then last minute I saw that I’d missed…
