Review: Les Savy Fav, Ditz – Electric Ballroom, 23/02/2024
I think I was a bit of a latecomer to Les Savy Fav – I was introduced to them by the band Jetplane Landing who, clearly massive fans themselves, titled a track off of their 2007 album “Why do they Never Play Les Savy Fav on the Radio?” – I went out and grabbed a…

Review/Gallery: Thumpasaurus, Wooze – Scala, 04/12/2023
From time to time it’s good fun to go and check out a band performing live that you’ve not really listened to properly before and that’s the situation I find myself in, a friend having invited me to check out Thumpasaurus at a party the weekend before, sitting on the train heading towards Scala.

Gallery: She’s In Parties, Emma Sampson, Porteous – Three Wise Monkeys, 6/10/2023
On October 6th She’s in Parties headed to Three Wise Monkeys to celebrate the release of their new EP, End Scene. She’s in Parties had an incredible sound right from their very first gig and it’s been great to hear them constantly up it with each performance and each release. Obviously it’s a sold out…

Gallery: Rad Pitt, Hinge, Matty G & Lil Winter – Queen Street Brewhouse, 23/09/2023
A particularly lively night over at Queen Street Brewhouse! Stick an energetic crowd in the space by the stage and it was always going to be a frantic night. Sadly no photos of We Punch Tigers as I got there too late to push to the front but they were excellent too – some excellent…
