LIVE: MONARCHY – 15/10/2015

– THE DEAF INSTITUTE, MANCHESTER – So Monarchy, so mysterious. The English “synthpop” duo have courted the enigmatic since they formed in 2009: initially concealing their identities à la Daft Punk, their first live show was projected into space. In 2011 after playing Coachella they spent Christmas with Dita von Teese, who is such a huge […]
– MANCHESTER ACADEMY, MANCHESTER – I woke up on Sunday morning with ‘Harmony In My Head’ hammering in my head. It’s far from a hangover, it’s such a nice feeling. “Whenever I’m in doubt about the things I do…”. A couple of hours before Buzzcocks’ gig at The Academy in Manchester, I watch an old […]

LIVE: BUZZCOCKS – 10/10/2015

LIVE: LOW – 07/10/2015

– MANCHESTER CATHEDRAL, MANCHESTER – Tonight’s line-up in the celestial surrounds of Manchester Cathedral would have been on my fantasy gig list as a student in the early 2000s. The crowd tonight reflects that age range – seasoned indie brooders making a twilight trip outdoors for what is an unusually long set in a slightly […]
– THE SOUP KITCHEN, MANCHESTER – Promoters Strange Days are known for bringing a wide variety of international guitar musicians to Manchester, ranging from solo acoustic folk, to manic garage rock. Tonight, our headliners are Spanish fun-loving surf garage 3-piece, The Parrots. They’ve recently released a split 7″ of covers on Burger Records with Hinds, who […]

LIVE: THE PARROTS – 10/10/2015

Chaika

LIVE: CHAIKA / THE BEAR AROUND YOUR NECK / JOHN HAYCOCK – 09/10/15

– THE OLD PINT POT, SALFORD – Curiosity has brought me out tonight. I have little to no knowledge of the bands, whether that makes for an unbiased neutral review or just reveals an incompetent lack of research is up to you. There were two elements that convinced me. The revamp of the Pint Pot […]
– GORILLA, MANCHESTER – Thank you to those who bought The Silver Globe! Jane Weaver merrily says a few songs into the set, her blonde hair half-covering the facial glitter around her eyes. It’s strange to hear an artist thank their audience, in a quite genuine manner, for a purchase made in the age of […]

LIVE: JANE WEAVER – 08/10/2015

LIVE: JIM JONES AND THE RIGHTEOUS MIND – 01/10/2015

– SOUND CONTROL, MANCHESTER – “Get involved!!!” screams Jim Jones to the audience who are just a few centimetres from the stage, asking us to get even closer. Yet, there are some fellows amongst the crowd with their shiny smartphones and cameras, trying to digitally grab the moment. I understand the temptation, souvenirs for the future. But […]
– GORILLA, MANCHESTER – Despite having stuffed myself into oblivion more than once at Gorilla with vegetarian breakfasts and heavenly halloumi burgers, strangely enough it’s my first time at Gorilla as a venue, and I really like its size and the stage background studded with something that looks like thermometers but probably is not. Near […]

LIVE: NADINE SHAH – 30/09/2015

LIVE: LIVERPOOL PSYCH FEST – 25+26/09/2015

– CAMP & FURNACE, LIVERPOOL – After very much enjoying a number of smaller Psych Fest’s in Manchester, the idea of taking it to another level seemed a logical step. Just an hour’s train ride away, over 75 acts have congregated in this annual celebration of ‘music of drug-induced origin’. The truly international line-up is […]
– NIGHT & DAY CAFE, MANCHESTER – It’s a cold September night. I arrive at my destination, squeezing past two chaps busking quite literally on the door step of The Night & Day Café. It’s one way to get yourself on the bill I suppose. ‘You must be freezing,’ I say. ‘You must be mad,’ […]

LIVE: SUMMER CAMP – 28/09/2015
