NO CEREMONY/// – HURTLOVE
I haven’t been myself lately at all. The past few weeks and months have been a blur, everything moving with such great speeds that the only thing constant is the residue of space they leave behind – a strange, fulfilling emptiness. I have been waking up every morning at precisely 7:43am “We live in an...

Everything Unexpected Happened at Live At Leeds 2013
There is a reason for the title of this post. Everything unexpected DID happen at Live At Leeds 2013. Let me break it down for you: I couldn’t go to work on Friday. Someone in the office gave me a nasty bastard chest and sinus infection. By the time Saturday rolled in, I was still...

Marcel Fengler (Ostgut Ton / Berghain)
I have always been fascinated, obsessed almost dependent on german techno – especially the kind that almost visualizes the grittiness of urban landscape and how man reacts, adapts, interacts with his surroundings. This urban landscape, man-made, concrete and steel crevices in between buildings and walls pulsating with the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of modern living. I’m...
Brilliant Colors, Wharf Chambers, 8th April 2013, Leeds
Typing this as I wolf down the microwaved leftover spag bol I made last night. Who’d have thought that the band I wrote about 3 years ago would play a gig in Leeds tonight??? I must say it is quite unfortunate that Margaret Thatcher happened to pass away on the night Brilliant Colors were playing. [Brilliant...
Exclusive Preview: Phlegm @ Canal Mills, Leeds
So we got invited to the exclusive preview of world renowned muralist Phlegm‘s new murals that have just been completed at Canal Mills. What better person to review this than the amazing Joy G, aka Morbid (also going by the moniker Cbloxx.)

Maya Jane Coles
Just as I thought it was going to be a quiet Easter weekend, we got this through the inbox: Maya Jane Coles. In Leeds. With Joy Orbison. Fuck. Yeah I know she’s played in Leeds many times but I have never got the opportunity to go see her. Finally, the time has come. For those of...

Leeds definitely knows how to party. Friday and Saturday was British Wildlife Festival at The Brudenell Social Club...
Tombed Visions Records
I haven’t wrote in awhile and there’s a reason for that. The countless stream of useless, non-personalised emails from PR agencies who should know better than to send me badly written presspacks about artists that are totally not relevant to this blog, had me so underwhelmed and uninspired that I have turned my attention to...
