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…

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…

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…
Read MoreIt’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…

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…
Read MoreLet 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…

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…

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…

First things first, this was by far one of the best gigs I have ever been to, hands down. It was the release day for Frank’s new album Positive Songs For Negative People, PS4NP in short. There had been a huge hype around the new album and the small in-store gigs he had been doing.…

So Gaslight decided to play a few local shows in the UK before the festival summer not including London. Brighton was the closest thing I could get to without ridiculous amounts of travel involved. A friend of mine was sweet enough to plonk my name on the guest list – love having friends in all…
