Live: Beach House – 31/10/2012
- The Ritz, Manchester - It’s hard to say why some shows work and others do not. Rewind two years and Beach House, a previously unknown (to me anyway) Cocteau Twins-esque act hailing from Baltimore steal my heart in Manchester Cathedral. The setting, the sound and the light show gel completely, and the band, riding the crest of a wave of critical success, submerges the audience in the ecstasy that such a moment in time represents. It remains... Read More

The system... Read More

LIVE: BEACH HOUSE / LAWRENCE ARABIA – 11/02/2010
- ISLINGTON MILL, SALFORD - There is something wonderfully mysterious about attending a gig at the Islington Mill. Everyone has heard of it before but no one is sure if it still exists or if it does where exactly it is. Every taxi I clamber in to I am faced with a driver who dithers for a few minutes before coming clean that without a postcode he has no idea how to get there. Three taxis and the end of my tether later I am forced to 118 it and armed... Read More
