LIVE: LEE FIELDS & THE EXPRESSIONS – 24/01/2018

-GORILLA, MANCHESTER- What strikes me as I watch Lee Fields strut onto the stage, in his brilliantly blue gold toned brocade jacket, is just how brilliantly bouncy he is. Like a man half his age, his energy is infectious with most of the crowd bouncing along with him as the night goes on. I actually […]
-GORILLA, MANCHESTER- Alex Cameron’s gigs feel like novels. Without doubt one of the best lyricists and storytellers in music at the moment, you spend the time watching him and his band as well as watching his stories unfold in your mind’s eye. A sign of good writing is that you can see everything that is […]

LIVE: ALEX CAMERON – 06/12/2017

LIVE: ALDOUS HARDING – 19/11/2017

-GORILLA, MANCHESTER- Recently crowned as having made the best album of the year by Rough Trade, New Zealand’s Aldous Harding is at a sold out Gorilla tonight for a victory lap of that very fine album, Party. It’s her second full length effort, and is appearing left, right and centre across other early album of […]
-GORILLA, MANCHESTER- It’s hard to believe Julia Jacklin is from the Blue Mountains in Australia; it’s much easier to believe that she’s from Nashville or Austin, or anywhere in the deep South of America. You see, Jacklin is a bit of an alt-country superstar, and when she sings she sounds for all the money in […]

-GORILLA, MANCHESTER- Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a stunning transformation. Back in 2012, I went to the much cherished and much missed ATP Festival at Camber Sands, the edition that was curated by The National. Early on in the first evening I took my mate to see Perfume Genius, kind of against […]

-GORILLA, MANCHESTER- Pantha Du Prince makes sun blitzed electronic music that’s hard to put in a single box. Hendrik Weber, the birth name of Pantha Du Prince, calls his music ‘sonic house’ and the juxtaposition of his feather-like weightless synths with his glitchy 4/4 percussion definitely matches with that description. Sonic house on a Sunday […]

LIVE: THE LOVELY EGGS / SEAZOO – 27/10/2017

-GORILLA, MANCHESTER- The Lovely Eggs return nearly 12 months to the day after they played one of their largest headline gigs to date at Manchester’s Gorilla.
