FESTIVAL COVERAGE: Wood Festival - 21st - 23rd May 2010

by James Hough 27. May 2010 15:09
Having spent a hot and sticky day at the office with only words and spreadsheets to keep us company, we left London mixed with excitement to get out of the city and anticipation of the weekend to come. We were on our way to Wood Festival 2010. Familiar with Truck Fest, we understood Wood to be ... [More]

And So I Watch You From Afar @ The Borderline – 08/04/10

by James Hough 16. April 2010 13:26
An international tint – granted, Northern Irish, but there is sea between us and them – to the Borderline tonight as headliners And So I Watch You From Afar, whose debut album has been hotly-tipped from Kerrang to Metal Hammer and back, eviscerate the stage with swathes of sound and teet... [More]

Deathray Trebuchay + Soil N “Pimp” Sessions @ The Relentless Garage, 06 April 2010

by James Hough 15. April 2010 13:30
  It flies in the face of anarchic, No-Logo reason, but tonight North London’s ‘Relentless’ Garage may surpass it’s own title as the blitz-frantic abstract offspring of the Tokyo club-scene, Japanese jazz ensemble Soil N ‘Pimp’ Sessions, bring promotion of t... [More]

Why? @ Heaven, 16 March 2010

by James Hough 23. March 2010 12:06
So Belinda Carlisle was right: Heaven is a place on Earth. In fact, it’s a cellar in Charing Cross, where expensive lager (rather than love, sorry Belinda) comes first. Tonight, Heaven is all about American indie rap-rockers Why?, stalwarts of California’s much-respected Anticon collect... [More]

Drop It! - Review of Fat Freddy's Drop at The Appollo 01/12/09

by Mintyhit 4. December 2009 12:28
The Hammersmith Apollo: I was greeted with a grunt from a man in oversized headphones clutching a clipboard.

The Kid's Still Got It! - Review of Kid Creole and the Coconuts @ Friars Club 27/11/09

by Mintyhit 3. December 2009 13:04
Not so very long ago, in a town not all that far away, I rock up outside Aylesbury Station to pick up my photographer. I've already been round the town twice to find the station, and predictably it will take another few laps of Aylesbury's town centre before we ditch the car in a multi-story and h... [More]

by Mintyhit 20. November 2009 16:33

by Mintyhit 19. November 2009 16:42
The famous Dingwalls venue in Camden doesn’t look like much from the outside – in fact it doesn’t look like anything from the outside, buried deep beneath Lock 17. Still, our expectations ran high as eight piece Californian Funk\Soul aficionados Breakestra (described as ‘utte... [More]
