Love Amongst Ruin @ The Relentless Garage 30/10/10
It’s the night before Halloween, and Love Amongst Ruin are in London at the Relentless Garage, which I have never been too before, but apparently has recently undergone a major facelift with sponsorship from energy drink producers Relentless. Having had to cancel their previous UK show at Southampton, this was now the first UK show in the tour since their Sonisphere performance, making it...

You Say Party @ Camden Roundhouse 29/10/10
You Say Party are a five piece dance punk band from Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada. The band was formerly known as You Say Party! We Say Die! but due to the tragic death of drummer Devon Clifford (RIP), they decided out of respect to drop the ‘We Say Die’ from the name. They are Becky Ninkovic (vocals), Derek Adam (Guitar), Stephen O’Shea (Bass & Synth), Robert Andow...

Unlit House Party! 23/10/10
with Jont, Little Fish, Ben Walker, Tony Kaye & Daniel Hernandez
Unlit is a concept born in the mind of a man who goes by the name ‘Jont’, and started out by Jont using his home as a gig venue organising a series of bands to play short sets followed by a rocking party. Jont did this for awhile before his neighbours became annoyed by it, it could have been the end of the dream, but...

A Series of Irish Talent Featuring Jack L, Mick...
The Pigalle Club, is situated close to Piccadilly Circus station, it is a venue unlike any I have been to before. The Piggalle club is an Art Deco supper club & music venue that feels like a window into another time, and has a very cool vibe about it. Around the stage is an ensemble of tables set up for dinner, the cost of the ticket for the all Irish show is £15, however if you decided to go...

Manna & Snailhouse @ Zigfrid von Underbelly,...
Zigfrid von Underbelly, in Hoxton Square near Old Street Station is a both a bar/restaurant (upstairs) and a music venue (downstairs). It is a stylish place indeed, adorned with illustrations on the ceiling and walls, a lot of care and attention has gone into the aesthetics of this place. The stage downstairs is in a the corner with luscious red curtains hanging on the walls and a giant mirror, a...

Dinosaur Pile-Up @ Kings College London Student...
Dinosaur Pile-Up are a 3 Piece Alt Rock trio from Leeds, reminiscent of early Foo Fighters with Matt Bigland on guitar and vocals, Harry Johns on bass and Mike Sheils on drums, their album Growing Pains is out now and well worth a listen. Last night (19/10/10) they played at Tutu’s @ Kings College London Student Union with support from Turbowolf.
Turbowolf were up at 8:30, they are a four...

Soap & Skin with Ensemble @ Union Chapel 18/10/10
Last night I went to one of the most socially awkward gigs of my life. Soap&Skin (Anja Plaschg) from Austria played at the beautiful and sonically stunning Union Chapel (Islington), with no support. Doors opened at 7:30, but the show didn’t start until 8:45, luckily the Pews are surprisingly comfortable and hot drinks and ice cream (for those who are presumably not cold enough) are on...

of Montreal @ Koko 6/10/10
6th of October, Koko, opposite Mornington Crescent station in Camden. I was there an hour early, and there was no queue there yet. I had nothing better to do with my time so I waited there. I didn’t know much about Of Montreal, I had listened to them obviously, not extensively though. I really loved what I had heard but I didn’t know what to expect of them live. It wasn’t long...

Both gigs at Kings College Student Union, a venue I have been to only once before to see ‘A Camp’ fronted by the Cardigans very own Nina Persson last year on my birthday. Looking forward to seeing them both check them out bellow:

Placebo - After The After Party
So its been almost two weeks now since Placebo had their 2 night Brixton Academy. At the end of Evaline’s set they mentioned about playing at the Camden Barfly on the Thursday after the gig, I thought why not go see them play there too. It could be fun, after all the Barfly is tiny. It came round to Thursday and me and my brother made our way down to Camden, and when we got there something...

Placebo @ Brixton Academy Part 3
28th September
Today we decided to get to Brixton earlier, unfortunately we can’t leave Luton until 9:30am due to the peek rates are extortionate to London.
7:30am I woke up and had breakfast
7:45am I started to apply my clown make up (again) because although I had got my invite to the after show party, I had to get one for my brother. Plus today is being filmed.
9:00am I am finally...

Placebo @ Brixton Academy Part 2
Ok, wow, where to start? How about the begining? Yes that’s sensible.
27th September
9:30am I woke up.
11:00am I started to put my clown make up as Placebo had requested their fans to do so in order to earn spot prizes (an after show party for the night of the 28th of September)
1:30pm I and my brother left the house (me dressed as a clown, my brother not so) We took a bus, walked...

Placebo @ Brixton Academy Part 1
Placebo are returning to where I first saw them play, Brixton Academy for 2 nights, and they have recruited the help of their fans and asked them to dress as as the clown on the cover of their new single “Trigger Happy Hands”. In return for the fans coming as clowns, they will reward people with spot prizes including going to the after-show party on the 28th. I have decided to oblige...

You Say Party! formerly You Say Party! We Say Die!
I’ve just booked tickets to see You Say Party, at the Camden Barfly! Didn’t realise they were playing in London, because it doesn’t appear in Seetickets.com only Barfly’s website. So yay!
You Say Pary! We Say Die! changed their name to You Say Party! out of respect for their late former drummer Devon Clifford who sadly (R.I.P) passed away. They are a Canadian 5-piece...

Muse @ Wembley Stadium 11-09-10
On Saturday the 11th of September 2010, I waited outside Wembley Stadium from 2am to see Muse (with support from I Am Arrows, White Lies & Biffy Clyro) Now why did I wait for that long? Because Muse is one of my all time favourite bands who I’ve followed intently since 2001 when I heard “Bliss”. I have seen Muse 10 times now and every time they have astounded me, though for...
