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…
Like most record collectors I am always scanning resale sights as well as stopping off at vintage and second hand record shops, sometimes you spot some gems you have to own. There are some bands that im always searching for and New Fast Automatic Daffodils is one of them. If you dont know them, they…
It was the last night of the tour for The Stanley’s at The Heartbreakers in Southampton and having seen them last November supporting Cast I wasn’t going to miss the opportunity, especially at such a small intimate venue. The printed poster by the door set 9.15 as a set time and two supports, they’re spoiling…
Acoustic Indie Rock in Cuban Heels The Kooks performed an outstore in support of their new album ‘Never/Know’ at the 1865 in Southampton last night for Vinilo Record Store.

Just putting this out there, I love the support acts so always arrive a bit early as you never know who you might see, obviously you know the name but that name in a couple of years’ time could mean a very different thing. So, I support them! I’ve been aware of Shame for a…
Ok, this vinyl is not that hard to track down but a 1991 vinyl release is still 33 years of wear and tear you hope is not visible to your eyes and ears when you click buy. This time its ‘Congratulations’ by Jefferson Airhead, later to become Airhead, the previous name chosen as a parody…
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…
