Pronounced Bru-Herr-Ia, it’s Spanish dontcha’ know. Anyway read this, that is all I knew about this band when I rolled upto The Underworld, late due to the tube, and the place was heaving. This is the fullest I’ve seen the place ever including a sold out Killswitch Engage date. I pushed my way down on… Read More

Gig Review – The Frames, Scala, 20/02/07
The Frames 3 times in 4 months or something? Am I sick of ’em? Not a bit of it. Tonight is their first London gig, AFAIK, since the UK release of The Cost so it was interesting the slightly different reaction to new songs(loads more singing). There was also more paddys this time I’m sure.… Read More
Gig Review – Sheep On Drugs, Underworld, 03/02/07
Support: Trauma Pet Ok I’ll admit I’m not a fan per se. I went along cause Philip was coming down to it and you know me I’ll try anything once(almost). Pet Trauma were awful, what were they doing there? I was bored. After them I was worried Sheep.. would have the same effect on me.… Read More
Gig Review – Killswitch Engage, Brixton Academy, 29/01/07
Support: The Haunted OK so I move out of Brixton and almost the next day I have my first ever gig in Brixton Academy, what are the odds eh? Great venue can’t wait to see Nine Inch Nails here(3 times). So I like The Haunted (have their One Kill Wonder album) but only caught three… Read More
Gig Review – Simple Kid, Kings College, 24/01/07
First off I didn’t want to go to this. Sarah, Shonagh and Alex did so I said I’d tag along. Venue was a nice little place with a great balcony area where we set ourselves up. The support acts started me worrying the first one was a guy, a guitar and his neuroses, a little… Read More
Gig Review – Hundred Reasons, KoKo, 19/01/07
A reschedule of their October show. I’d never been to KoKo before and I was lucky enough to be able to score Sarah and ticket for this to so we popped along… …And actually got in half way through the first song :-?. There is a club afterwards so they start quite early in KoKo(we… Read More
Gig Review – The Frames, Vicar Street, Dublin, 31/12/06
Support: Boss Volante Mark Greary So one of the famous Frames New Year’s shows. I’ve never been to one and this was well anticipated. There was one problem though, we got there thinking we’d just catch The Frames or maybe one support act but oh no. You see I’ve heard that these things can go… Read More
Gig Review – Alec Empire, Underground@kennedys, Dublin 29/12/06
Support: Nihl Kalpol Superextrabonusparty OK I’m not sure what support I saw and to paraphrase “Frankly I don’t give a damn”. It was wired DJ shit which I should be into but this stuff was meh. So I wasn’t very sure what to expect tonight I’ve seen “Alec Empire” before but it involved drums, guitar… Read More
Gig Review – Iron Maiden, Earls Court, 23/12/06
Support: Lauren Harris Trivium No Trivum, no problem. So this is the end of the road for both Maiden and myself. The last date of the A Matter Of Life And Death 2006 Tour and Dave Murrays birthday. I’m in London, on a Saturday, the day before Christmas Eve and I’m the only loser left… Read More
Gig Review – Iron Maiden, Earls Court, 22/12/06
Support: Lauren Harris Trivium Number 5 of 6 and Maiden’s first home town gig, only Earls Court tomorrow to go. So timed this one very well, no trivium again. Even better was the surprise awaiting me inside. I have the limited edition Scandanvian t-shirt which features Eddie as a viking and there was a paris… Read More
Gig Review – Iron Maiden, The Point, Dublin, 20/12/06
Support: Lauren Harris Trivium Well the fog could’ve fucked this up but in the end my flight outta Heathrow was only 2 hours late. So a hometown gig!!! Well OK old hometown but back in the old stomping ground. Met up with the Kenwood Kettle and we made our way up there. Missed the travesty… Read More
Gig Review – Tenacious D, Hammersmith Apolli, 18/12/06
Support: Neil Hamburger Well this was the night after the Brighton show. I got in a little late(in the middle of Kielbasa Sausage), bloody tube. It was a great show and I was very tempted to go the night after too but a) it wasn’t cheap and b) it was my only night off from… Read More
