LIVE: DANIEL JOHNSTON – 12/08/2011
– SOUND CONTROL, MANCHESTER – Recording and releasing music with paced regularity since the early eighties, seeing Daniel Johnston on an occasion when he is not touring new material is something of a treat, as you come expecting everything and nothing. No latest album obligations, just a timely run through of his best and biggest hits, with a few obscurities thrown in for good measure. And much obligingly, that is exactly what we get. Since his inaugural release in... Read More
LIVE: CHAMELEONS VOX – 12/08/2011
– THE RUBY LOUNGE, MANCHESTER – The sign outside Manchester’s coolest gig venue reads ‘Sold Out’. There’s a large crowd milling around, most with tickets and a few poor sods without. So what’s the difference between Chameleons Vox and the band of old? Well musically, almost nothing. Mark Burgess has handed his bass guitar to Raymond Bowles of Manchester band Bushart. Guitar duties are taken up by Bushart members Chris Oliver and Steve Foxcroft. John Lever is... Read More

SINGLE: FUTURE PROOF – ONE MORE CHANCE
‘One More Chance’ is the Debut single from new pop boy band, Future Proof. Think a Busted style line up, with more of a new McFly style track, over a Taio Cruz beat…Basically there will be thousands of girls across the country screaming their names at some point in the next year. The track is catchy, and is definitely in the running to be a Glee cover soon enough. As far as the lyrics go, they aren’t anything out of the ordinary; it’s another ‘love song’,... Read More

LIVE: WASHED OUT – 08/08/11
– DEAF INSTITUTE, MANCHESTER –I found it difficult to tear myself away from the live news coverage, tonight. Watching businesses in London with families living above, being looted and then torched, didn’t really put me in the mood for a gig. But, as they say, the show must go on. Star Slinger has the unenviable task of trying to raise the spirits of a tentative crowd, as a majority of punters at this sold out gig have arrived early to catch his set. Darren Williams...
