Every Friday night St. Moritz, just off Berwick Street in Soho, hosts BLOW OUT in their basement club. The club is lovely, it’s a small cellar venue, a little creepy to walk into, but once you’re downstairs all is cozy and homey. It was the Velettes’ first single release party and The Boy Jones supported.…

“We sing with our heroes 33rpm” – A love letter and farewell to one my favourite bands
I wrote this a few weeks ago but never got around to posting, so here we go. x Dear Gaslight, For the past three and a half years you’ve been an integral part of my existence. Constantly on repeat on my iPod on my way to uni, on my way to work. Constantly in…

Nothing But Thieves @Electric Ballroom, 30/10/2015
Nothing But Thieves are the break out band of the year, having just recently released their debut album which hit the ground hard. This Friday they played Camden’s Electric Ballroom for a sold-out show. The performance was mind-blowing, however, short. Understandably though. With only one album you don’t have that much material to play, so…

Symptomatic Presents: CRHOMA, The Bronsons, The Boy Jones & Dem Bones @93 Feet East, 23/10/2015
First time at 93 Feet East – I really liked it. It’s got this Shoreditch music venue feel without the hipster crowd (well at least not mostly hipsters, you can’t avoid them). It’s a small garage-style venue just off Brick Lane. I’m thinking this is one of those great places where you can discover loads…

Carrie Underwood / Apple Music Festival @ Roundhouse, 21/09/2015
First things first: I was absolutely floored by Carrie’s voice. But more on that later. The Apple Music Festival, aka iTunes festival, hosted at the Roundhouse didn’t catch my eye until I heard that Mumford & Sons are playing. It was only then I checked the line-up. The idea is that you can only win…

It’s been too long since I’ve seen Springsteen live, so a tribute band will have to do. Not usually a big fan of cover bands, but always up for a bit of fun. I was sure to see some of the E-Street fans there, so I knew it would be a good party if nothing…

Gaslight Anthem @ O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, 29/08/2015
It’s official – The Gaslight Anthem are taking a break. This is sad news to all fans but without a doubt not entirely unexpected. However, London fans seem to hold a special place in the band’s heart as their last headline show took place London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire. And what a farewell gig it…

Let me start off by saying, I doubt the KOKO has ever been rocked the way it was rocked last night. Beatsteaks are a German punk rock band from Berlin and usually German bands, no matter how good, don’t really make it outside the country (except for Rammstein and the Scorpions). It is not much…

Less Than Jake @Brooklyn Bowl, London, 08/08/15
This was the first gig at Brooklyn Bowl I went to when I no longer worked there, so it was a weird but wonderful experience. I’ve always loved the venue, it has amazing sound and fits just the right amount of people. Plus there’s bowling, what more could you want?! I hadn’t seen either of…

Frank Turner @HMV Oxford Street, London, 07/08/2015
Two gigs in one day and both of them Frank. I’m not complaining. Today is the day Frank’s album drops and everyone is so excited. I have been listening to it all morning. When Frank announced his in-store gigs I knew there was little chance to even get a ticket, and I didn’t. It was…
