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…
I use Ai in my day to day, not for music although that may come in next year for instrumentals, video as well when it improves but mainly idea and image generation at the moment. The music side does interest me, just for personal creation to see whats achievable. The last attempt is viewable here…
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!

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…

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…
