Gig Review – The Undertones, Shepherd’s Bush Empire, 13th of September 2007
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

Everything Changes
So Sarah was just over for the weekend and we took it easy. Didn’t do too much, saw The Counterfeiters, Ratatouille in the cinema and went old school punk and saw The Undertones in The Shepherd’s Bush Empire.

Before the sea was built
So I’m back from Budapest. Obviously for work, was a good conference in work terms, three days of an exhibition space stand with lots of interest. I’ll have some pics up on the GridPP website during the week. Outside the work stuff it was a good laugh. An early night if you got home at… Read More
Gig Review – Skindred, La Scala 20th of September 2007
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
Gig Review – Imperial Leisure, Barfly – September 9th 2007

Too drunk to give a fuck
Well not really, not had any alcohol actually in ages, jaysus should change that. Anyway life is a bowl of cherries aint it (incidentally I don’t actually like cherries). So today was even more exciting than yesterday, I mean I’m not sure if my heart can take this much excitement in one go(please note the… Read More
