It’s the 30th Anniversary of Hi, How Are You? and to celebrate Daniel Johnston will be returning to London and bringing a group of special guests with him including Jeffrey Lewis, Emmy The Great and Norman Blake (of Teenage Fanclub) who will perform the legendary album (I can say legendary now it’s 30 right?), followed [...]

David Bowie Is… at the V&A

By the time I was born, Major Tom had been to the moon and back, Ziggy Stardust had already risen and fallen, The Thin White Duke had come and gone, but David Bowie was still converting fans everywhere and, even after a 10 year absence, continues to do so today with the release of his [...]

Atoms for Peace – 3 Dates at Roundhouse

It’s possibly the strangest super-group ever (Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, producer Nigel Godrich and Chilli Peppers’ Flea) but Atoms for Peace have just released an amazing album and a great video for first single Ingenue – that sees Thom Yorke’s unique dancing style in the hands of one of my favourite choreographers Wayne Mcgregor (Check out [...]

Kanye West Plays Hammersmith Apollo

Holy shit, there I was thinking Valentine’s week was just going to be another week and then Kanye West only goes and saves it! Yeezy has announced a shock gig at Hammersmith Apollo and it’s in two weeks! No matter what you think of Kanye himself or even his music, the man puts on a [...]

  Well it’s happened, my first post about 2013… For those of us who were not fortunate enough to catch The Weeknd at his intimate show at The Supperclub a couple of weeks ago and were then forced to regret this further as he killed it on Jools Holland , we’ve just be thrown a [...]

PINS and Burgers at the Sebright Arms/Lucky Chip – 24th October

The Sebright Arms along with being a great place to see new and up ‘n’ coming bands is also (the primary) home to Lucky Chip, which would certainly be on the short list for London’s Best Burger places notwithstanding [...]

Tonight: D E N A plays Old Blue Last

Don’t you hate it when blogs post about an event at really short notice – you probably have all your bank holiday Sunday plans arranged right? Well, change them and let’s dance Erland Oye style (see video below) to DENA at The Old Blue Last. It’s been two months since Berlin-based singer dropped her “Cash, [...]

Shut Up and Play The Hits – London Showings

You know that annoying friend you have (everyone has one), who will say “this band is the most important band of the past decade” – I heard it a lot when Libertines were having their moment – well that guy is me and that band, in my case, is LCD Soundsystem. So it’s potentially unsurprising [...]
