by Nina Saeidi 6. July 2010 15:31

Within the baking depths of Camden there lay a sold out shoe box shaped room of minuscule proportions on the Monday night that was the 5th July.

by Nina Saeidi 2. May 2010 20:43

5pm outside the ULU and a bedraggled line of motley fans are weathering the torrential rain. Some are even sheltering under a khaki tarpaulin found on site and held at arms length above their heads. When the doors finally open, there is a mad rush to the merch stand where piles BoltThr... [More]

REVIEW: Cathedral & Church of Misery + Guests @ ULU 29/04/2010

by Nina Saeidi 1. May 2010 14:20

The University London Union is a ruby in the dust as far as London's venues are concerned. With most boasting barriers separating the audience from the band by several metres and bristling guards plastered all over the building, the ULU is a far cry from the polished and impersonal experienc...

Hammerfest ll Prestatyn, Wales 13/03/10

by Nina Saeidi 16. March 2010 12:56

The sky is bright, a cool sea breeze ruffles the backs of sheep grazing on soft grass. The family friendly, pastel coloured sprawl of Pontins nestles into the small sleepy Welsh town of Prestatyn. 'SLAYAAAARGH!' someone screams, 'SLAYAAAARGH!' someone replies. This is no ordinary day, this i... [More]
