Support:Mirimar Disaster As I mentioned in a previous post I got these free (twice actually). I’m not a fan of Will haven but I’ve seen them before actually. Before a UK tour supporting One Minute Silence many years ago they played a few Irish dates with Sugar Coma (ugh) and Cyclefly (yay) and Al was… Read More

Support:TAT I spent the day hanging out with Alex and Shonagh and hadn’t left their place till 8 so I’d miss the support acts, get in get a good position and just see NOFX. No such bloody luck. After grabbing a t-shirt and CD (£12 and £5 respectively) and dumping my bag in the cloakroom… Read More

Support:The Inbreds I made a point to not turn up till just before Amen should have got on stage, rolled in just before 9 and checked out the merch (a bit pricey to be honest but Casey is smashed). Then wandered down to the stage, the place was half empty and then The Inbreds started.… Read More

Support:Lazy HabitsWork In Progress I’ve never actually been in The Borderline, which is unusual as I’ve been here almost two years. It is a nice small venue, good sound and well laid it (except for the stage being a bit near the door). I got in just as Work In Progress was finishing, they seemed… Read More

Support:Don’t know missed ’em I’ve never been to the Shepherd’s Bush Empire before and I’ve never seen The Undertones (not a massive fan and don’t know too much about them). However is a big fan and loves their old stuff (i.e. most of their stuff) so as she was over I grabbed two tickets and… Read More

Support:The Ghost of a thousandBr:gadeShaped by fate This was actually downgraded to the LA2 which was formerly The Mean Fiddler formerly the LA2 (you couldn’t make it up), which I suppose isn’t a great sign but then the last Astoria date (which I was at) had Murder One, Skindred and This Is Menace which is… Read More

Support:Bossk,i-def-iShaped by fate Woo-hoo the ‘Horn!!! Yes it’s the time again a Raging Speedhorn tour. It’s actually been 2 years since a proper RSH tour (just after the release of How The Great Have Fallen) but now they have a new album and a new line up (3 out of 6 are the original line… Read More

Support:Strawberry BlondesVictory Pill I missed Strawberry Blondes, wasn’t pushed but did want to check out Victory Pill. They have Jim Davies who used to be in Pitchshifter and The Prodigy(live guitarist) so thought they’d be worth checking out. And other than the ridiculous volume of their gear, I could barely hear the vocals and the… Read More

Support:Someone I don’t knowFox Cubs I love the Barfly, it’s almost the epitome of the the dark, dank club venue. Sarah and I went long to this on spec, I thought it might be sold out but unsurprisingly it wasn’t so we wandered on in and caught the main support act Fox Cubs. They were… Read More

Alright I haven’t done a gig review in months (well since RSJ in February) so this one post is to make up for that. I haven’t been as prolific this year for various reasons so there isnt as many as maybe this time last year but it’ll pick up soon hopefully. Anyway on to the… Read More

Support: None The last time I saw the Foos it was in a field which held 85,000 people(their biggest headline gig ever). They were amazing that day despite claims that Dave and the boys weren’t big fans of the day. So this time was to be a little different, Dingwalls is small almost 500 people… Read More

Support: Losing Sun Supporting: Anemic i.e. RSJ were support I’ve seen RSJ a few times now as support. They’re friends of Gurdy’s and they’ve supported Zero Cipher and Berzerker before and have been great every time. This time I was aiming to see them so it was a nice change. Gurdy came along and we… Read More
