Support: GU Medicine B-Movie Heroes Tits Of Death Back in the Garage, last time was for Bezerker et al. Half decent venue sound is good, a bit loud for no real apparent reason but anyway… This was Sarah’s first night in London(and obviously her first show). We missed Tits Of Death but Frog Ninja assures… Read More

So I went to see PUSA three nights in a row; Birmingham, London and Dublin. As Al has said, they are one of the best live bands on the planet at the moment. I’ve(as some readers will remember) seen them twice already in Scotland last August, two nights in a row. Well in keeping with… Read More

OK first these guys are mates of mine. I saw them first a year or seven ago in 1999 supporting The Offspring. Since then I’ve only seen them twice both times in the same weekend in Scotland (Glasgow and Aberdeen in Dec 2003) and they were alcohol fuelled times :-). The lineup from seven years… Read More

Sounds Of The Underground feat. Chimaira Madball Unearth Terror All That Remains Manntis Another new venue for me, quite nice in a grotty way but good sound, decent space. Looks like the Ambassador in Dublin but with even more space behind the sound deskd and a massive balcony, which you can access from the venue… Read More

Hundred Reasons Support: 65 Days Of Static Keiko So took my time getting to this one as I wasn’t too pushed about seeing the support acts. Would they be anny good? Unlikely so I skipped ’em. Caught the end of 65 Days Of Static and them seemed OK. It was noisy-ish instrumental rock, like Mastodon… Read More

The Bezerker Support: Madman Is Absolute RSJ HappyFace I bought tix for this show mostly for the support. I’ve been a big MIA fan for a few years now and RSJ were really good the last time I caught them at Zero Cipher, so I was really looking forward to this show. Frog Ninja was… Read More

Pitchshifter Support: Skindred This Is Menace Murder1 Another case of my buying a ticket for the main act and the support being more interesting. I love Pitchshifter but I would have paid to just see Murder1. In the end it was not only they who were great. Opening with Murder1 (Paul Catten and Jammer of… Read More

24/02/06 Johnny Truant Underworld, Camden. Support: Architects and Waterdown. Missed the first act on tonight but wasn’t too pushed especially when I got to the gig. The crowd made me feel ill. Talk about fucking identikids. If I didn’t know better I would say that Hot Topic not only was in the UK but was… Read More

Zero Cipher + RSJ, Silent Scream and The Randoms. Upstairs & The Garage. This was a fun gig. It was in a small venue above the London venue The Garage and it was be no means packed. It all kicked off at about 8 with The Randoms. Indie rock but enjoyable I could hear the… Read More

Monday 6th February Underworld, Camden The Black Dahlia Murder, Dead Soil, Descent, These Bloody Hands. The Underworld again, nice venue. Missed “These Bloody Hands” (I think). Just got in as Descent(I think they never said who they were) started. They were pretty a good a nice death and black mix and heavy, good support act… Read More

Went to Mendeed in Camden Underworld last night and here is my little review. 13/01/06 – Camden Undreworld, London Mendeed. Support: Sanctotorum, Kingsize Blues, Interlock First time in the underworld. Nice venue small about the size of the TBMC I’d say in capacity terms. When I got there the Arch Enemy/At The Gates Influenced Sanctotorum… Read More

Feb 10th Support: Legacy Dorans. A brilliant set from these culchies. Had caught them previously in Dorans on a recommendation and they were ace then and were just as good this time. Support was better also, Legacy doing the NWOAHM/Metalcore thing very well if having a keyboard player you couldn’t hear. Speedking do two things;… Read More
