Yuck LIVE @ The Macbeth 17.09.13

We’ve missed Yuck. There’s been a shoegaze shaped hole vacant in the scene since their last gig two years ago and it’s a hole only they can fit. Although a relatively small venue, Hoxton’s Macbeth boasts a full house tonight,…

Franz Ferdinand LIVE @ Ibiza Rocks

For the penultimate gig of the summer at Ibiza Rocks we had the wonderful Franz Ferdinand. This summer has flown by, but Ibiza Rocks have saved some of the best bands till last this year. I’d never seen them live…

The Strypes – LIVE @ Electric Ballroom, Camden

Rock n roll legends in the making? This is a question I have asked myself since the day I discovered The Strypes back in January, blown away by the video for “Got love if you want it”, a song that provided…

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club LIVE @ 02 Academy Newcastle

What ever happened to my rock’n’roll?  I enjoyed myself tonight. That’s the entire point isn’t? Of Life? To enjoy those moments that take you away from the painful realities of existence. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club did that for me tonight….
