If you’ve been wondering why there was no weekend round-up this week, or wondering why there’s been such a lack of updates from me over the past few days – at least part of the reason is directly to do with Reading Festival having taken place over last weekend, and my absolute adoration for the selection [...]

Hot Vamp Club + Wild Fire @ The Winchester + TMW Exclusive Track ‘Waterproof’
September 3rd, 2010 · No Comments · Live Reviews
I’ve briefly mentioned Hot Vamp Club before – I am really quite fond of their music, especially considering that their youthful pop melodies were spawned from my doorstep, the uninspiring and slow-moving town of Bournemouth. They invited me down to their gig last Friday night at The Winchester Pub for what marked their long-awaited return [...]

Weekend Round-up #16/8 – No Age, Ducktails, Gold Panda
August 15th, 2010 · No Comments · Live Reviews, News, Previews
This is a weekend round-up i’ve been excited about all week – new music from noise-punk outfit No Age‘s upcoming LP “Everything In Between”, a new track and world tour from Real Estate guitarist’s other project Ducktails, as well as the first drips of new material to emerge from Röyksopp’s album Senior. But first, having [...]

Run Toto Run @ 60 Million Postcards Bournemouth, 6/8/2010
August 14th, 2010 · No Comments · Live Reviews
I caught Run Toto Run down at Bournemouth’s finest music venue 60 Million Postcards last Friday in support of Teenagers In Tokyo (who I missed), and firstly I have to say the amount of new material I was exposed too exceeded any of my expectations going into this gig. This band have been hard at [...]

Live Review: Wild Beasts w/ Support @ 60 Million Postcards, Bournemouth (March 12, 2010)
March 15th, 2010 · No Comments · Live Reviews
Wild Beasts 60 Million Postcards Bournemouth 12 March 2010 Support – Erland & The Carnival, Lone Wolf, Lord Auch I first saw Wild Beasts back in 2008, where I was assured by an overenthusiastic and evidently warped member of the Foals street team that they would be “the weirdest band you’ll ever see, ever.” It [...]

Live Review: Girls w/Spectrals @ Talking Heads, Southampton Feb 25, 2010
February 27th, 2010 · No Comments · Live Reviews
Talking Heads Southampton is about as far as i’ll travel to go to a gig, the journey takes about an hour and half, and the train fare i can rarely afford. But if there’s a band on that i’ve been so desperately wanting to see for such a long time, then i’ll make the effort. [...]
Marina & The Diamonds w/ Clock Opera @ Audio, Brighton Feb 15, 2010
February 21st, 2010 · No Comments · Live Reviews
Seeing Marina and The Diamonds down at the Audio was a nice way to break up our mini-holiday in Brighton earlier this week. She’s another one of this year’s top tips that i missed out on at the festivals last year and its a shame my first live experience of her had to come so [...]
NME Tour Feat. Maccabees w/Bombay Bicycle Club, The Big Pink + The Drums @ Bournemouth O2 Academy, (Feb 16, 2010)
February 20th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Live Reviews
The structure of this year’s NME tour, in a nutshell, consisted of a few hundred teenage Maccabees fans turning up to see the quiet-of-late indie rock band, with what they considered two or three other of NME’s more recent additions warming up as support. This lack of understanding couldn’t have been demonstrated better when a [...]

The Invisible w/ Colours @ 60 Million Postcards, Bournemouth (Jan 23, 2010)
January 24th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Live Reviews
>I’m going to be honest here, i find it totally incredible that The Invisible played in Bournemouth – as far as i’m concerned, the sunny seaside town is more often than not restricted to the occasional visit from Status Quo and Jools Holland at Christmas, as well as all of your obvious Snow Patrols, Kasabians [...]
