Since QOTSA last week I’ve been pretty busy volunteered two nights for Masque Of The Red Death and went to Leicester to see Aoife, Leo and Erin. The volunteering was good craic as usual and got a chance to see the finale one night which is pretty cool. The trip to Leicester was relaxing and… Read More
Gig Review – Queens Of The Stone Age, Rivermead Leisure Centre, Reading, 4th of December 2007
Support:80s Matchbox B-line Disaster A leisure centre? WTF? Well according to Rich, who accompanied me on this trip, he’s seen a few bands here back in the day so it has been used. We couldn’t quite see why QOTSA were playing there but it might have been convenient for Heathrow the next day? Whatever the… Read More

Gig Review – Interpol, Alexandra Palace, 30th of November 2007
Support:Blonde Redhead Yes really I went to see Interpol, seriously, no joking. I have seen that overhyped indie wanktastic radio friendly unit shifters. OK firstly Turlough (my brother) was over and wanted to go so he bought me a ticket and I went. Unsurprisingly I missed Blonde Redhead, I didn’t even want to be there… Read More
Gig Review – Queens of the Stone Age, Brixton Academy, 26th of November 2007
Support:80s Matchbox B-line Disaster Hung out with Alex and Shonagh before this as I’ve seen 80s Matchbox before (2002 supporting Alec Empire) and didn’t like ’em. Got there just before 9 and just before QOTSA started. The beginning wasn’t great sound was a bit muddy and to be honest it only got a bit better… Read More
Gig Review – The Black Crusade, Brixton Academy, 25th of November 2007
Featuring:MachineheadTriviumDragonforceArch EnemyShadows Fall Pretty much the same as the night before. This time however I didn’t get a lift only missed Shadows Fall this time (seems the show started earlier than advertised on the Academy’s website). Arch Enemy were really good it was amazing to Angela doing her thing live and I’ll be tempted to… Read More
Gig Review – The Black Crusade, Brixton Academy, 24th of November 2007
Featuring:MachineheadTriviumDragonforceArch EnemyShadows Fall Look at that line up, I mean come on I’m a fan of 4 of the 5 bands. Now I hate the 5th (Trivium) but that was no reason to not go. As soon as this was announced I grabbed tickets for both nights and that was before all 5 were announced.… Read More

Worst.post.ever
Woah I’ve been pretty busy lately with gigs (reviews below), volunteering (it’s great craic no matter how weird it sounds), the gym (I didn’t get this figure by eating shedloads of chocolate, oh wait I did that was the problem) and Sarah was over for the last time before I return to Ireland for Xmas.… Read More
