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...

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...

In Photos: The Voyeurist, O Children, LIVE, Leeds 24th Oct 2012
O Children and The Voyeurist were playing at Oporto on Wednesday night and we thought we’d pay them a visit. Mid-week gigs is always a weird one, you just don’t know what the turn out is going to be like on a school night. And that night felt slightly “off” too – there was a...
Vuvuvultures
The nouveau goth movement was already in full swing before I’ve even realised the full extent of it. As I sit here going through Savages‘ facebook photo album, making plans for the show with O Children and The Voyeurist tomorrow and listening to Vuvuvultures, I cannot help but feel a sense of, relief. Relief in...
Savages – I Am Here Live EP
I took these pictures of Savages when I went to Shoreditch 1-2-3-4 Festival about a month or so ago. I never really had the heart to process them because I didn’t feel they were good enough and also my flash failed on me that day. There’s more but maybe I’ll look at them again and...
Aggi Doom / Palms, Leeds, Wharf Chambers, 30th August 2012
The best part about going to gigs when touring bands are involved is checking out new bands and new music. The best thing about going to gigs at Wharf Chambers is that you will always find see someone you know there, or if you don’t, make friends with someone new. There is nothing else like...
I SURVIVED BEACONS FESTIVAL 2012
Fucking hell. Now THAT was an experience. By THAT, I mean, Beacons Festival 2012, which, as it turned out, was to be the first ever music festival I’ve ever been to, ever. So what was it like? I know the organizers prefer previews rather than reviews, nothing wrong with that, it helps to generate interest...
Everything Is Made In China (EIMIC)
When was the last time I got an email from Russia? Probably during conversations with Tesla Boy. And that was like ages ago so this one was a nice surprise. Everything Is Made In China (EIMIC) are 3 lads from Russia and they make offbeat quirky guitar pop songs with a proggy aesthetic. Think Blonde...
