The Raveonettes: Live at The Oval Space
Sometimes it’s hard to know whether you have just witnessed a disappointing performance or a great one… One one hand, last night The Raveonettes played a set consisting solely of songs from their first four (and most successful) albums including “My Tornado” and “Beat City” from their debut release plus a couple of real…

The Replacements Live at The Roundhouse: Review
The Replacements visited the UK for the first time in more than two decades last night to play the first of two dates at The Roundhouse. Reactions to this news vary from uncontained excitement to “er, who?”, so for the uninitiated, here’s what we need to know about The Replacements: Indie-pioneers from Minnesota formed in 1979. Classic…

Noel Gallagher Joined By Choir At Royal Albert Hall – Review
On last night’s evidence, it looks like we can now quantify how difficult it is to get along with Liam Gallagher, as his brother Noel preferred to play with thirty other people at once – the 23 person strong Crouch End Choir, a three man horn section and four piece band – rather than play…

The Who and Wilko Johnson: Live at The Royal Albert Hall
The Teenage Cancer Trust concerts have become a much loved staple of London’s live scene for over a decade.

Gig goers had a surprise during the encore to Ryan Adams’ show at Shepherds Bush Empire last night as Johnny Depp slung on his guitar and joined the band. Sporting a wide-rimmed trilby, Depp threw some impressive shapes and even pulled off a guitar solo during set closer “Kim”. Despite such a Hollywood stamp of…

Masters of Reality – Live at O2 Islington Academy – Review
Masters of Reality played the O2 Islington Academy last night and gave the performance I had been waiting twenty five years to see, with a powerful, career spanning set. I have seen Masters of Reality twice before. The first time was in 2001. Josh Homme and Nick Oliveri were in the band, but the only…

British Sea Power Panda To The Shepherd’s Bush Empire – Live Review
On the day that the last Orchestrator of British Sea Power (via the Falklands conflict) was buried, it was fitting that British Sea Power (the band) marked the occasion by laying unnecessary waste to a Shepherd’s Bush Empire that was minding its own business and retreating into an exclusion zone with a stunning live show…

Jake Bugg Live!
With a number one debut album to his name, Jake Bugg‘s success has been quite something to behold, especially as it has come at a time in his life when a boy of his age should be outside kicking a ball around: he’s still only nineteen years old. His Dylan-and-Simon-and-Garfunkel-tinged debut album earned him plaudits and support…

How I Learned To Love Radiohead – Live At The O2 Arena
In many ways, writing a Radiohead concert review is somewhat redundant. What do you want to know about last night’s O2 Arena show ? That they were mesmeric? That they played two songs each from OK Computer and The Bends? (Airbag, Street Spirit, Paranoid Android and Planet Telex)… Strangely enough last night was my first…
