Support:Missed them so don’t know Note: Written in August just 4 months late I love Supergrass live, I honestly have never owned there latest album when I see them (this time neither of the last two) but they excel themselves every time. They are a strange band they’re never massive but they still sell out… Read More

Support:Kid CarpetElectric Eel Shock Note: written in August almost 4 months later :-/. Woo hoo back in Birmingham for a gig. I’ve been previously for PUSA and NIN. Same venue this time there was no way I was going to get home on the train or coach so booked into a hostel which worked out… Read More

Support:Kid CarpetElectric Eel Shock Note: written in August almost 4 months later :-/. This was planned sort of at the last minute. Definitely after the others as I thought it would be too difficult to get back from Bristol to London. Then I saw curfew was at 9.45pm, quick check of the train times and… Read More

Support:Kid CarpetElectric Eel Shock Arghhh. I have been to Brighton before for Tenacious D, which was just before Xmas and that was a very quick walk from the station. The Concorde 2? A completely other matter entirely, it is on the sea front LITERALLY, how was I meant to know there was a whole other… Read More

Support:Kid CarpetElectric Eel Shock PUSA, Woo and Hoo. This is the first date of their 9 date UK tour and the first of the 6 dates I am attending on said tour, so following this review will be Brighton, Bristol, Birmingham, Belfast and Dublin. They’ll probably be less verbose with a quick review of the… Read More

Support:InfestationEmbroynic Depravity Dyscornate I’m writing this up over two months after the gig :-/, anyway. I missed the first act and 99% of the second. The final support act was local and had a half decent following just not sure who it was. There set was only of note when an audience member "crowd surfed"… Read More

Support:Gideon Conn Word to the wise: If you see Gideon Conn on a lineup run away, run as far as your legs can carry you, don’t stop to wonder "what if?" just keep moving. They/he are awful I have never been so insulted by an act claiming to be music, just muck. So moving on… Read More

Support:Bookhouse Boys Look, *shock, horror* it’s another Imperial Leisure gig. So I do go see these guys a lot but they do play a lot and never disappoint and the gig is never too expensive (free on more than one occasion). So it almost goes without saying that this was just a great high energy… Read More

Support:Documentary about E finding out about his father the famous physicist. Yeah so the support was a BBC documentary Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives which had E traveling around the states learning about his father and his father’s quantum mechanics theory. It was really good and I’d only just found out that Hugh Everett III was… Read More

Featuring:MegadethJob For A CowboyEvile As you can see I have called this "Gigantour" as that was how it was billed (after I’d bought my ticket so no real problem to me) but this was no package bill it was a normal three band bill in the Academy with one local, one up and coming and… Read More

Support:Beneath the buried and me The last time I saw DEP was actually 2002, before I was really a fan since then I’ve lapped all their releases, the live show was so immense. I actually hadn’t picked up Ire Works before this show so wasn’t sure what to expect but no need to be worried.… Read More

Support:? Don’t know So they split up over 7 years ago and here they are again, minus a few people i.e. D’arcy and James. So what’s the story? It seems Billy couldn’t hack it solo style so persuaded Jimmy C to get back together and give it another go. They consistently said this is a… Read More
