Angelspit live 15th September 2012
At Elecrotwekz/Slimelight Angelspit are a fairly unique electro-industrial band from Australia. They have four albums to their name, have recently expanded from a two piece to a four piece and I was glad to get to see them on their Wall Street Massacre tour. [youtube http://youtu.be/COzASzHd2VI] Slimelight is the longest running goth/alt club in London. Like…

Cold In Berlin Live 7th September 2012
At The Garage I discovered Cold In Berlin supporting She Wants Revenge a couple of months ago. Unfortunately I was late to the gig and only had a friends praise to go on. I looked them up and started listening to their first album incessantly. And having seeing them headline their album launch was a treat.…

The Virulent Experience
At Conway Hall Foolish People is a banner under which a collection of artists create immersive art. The Virulent Experience is the first of their pieces that I’ve been aware of, and they will definitely remain on my radar. What if you thought that mankind was broken? What if you thought you could fix it?…

Reading Festival Highlights – Sunday
Alberta Cross I joined a group of friends to see Alberta Cross. They are a fairly laid back blues rock with a strong sense of momentum. I’m not likely to go out of my way to see them again, but I did enjoy their show and may check them out again when in a mellower…

Reading Festival Highlights – Saturday
Green Day [youtube http://youtu.be/45ZdYYYjKoc] Green Day were the surprise guests this year. They are a well practised live act and put on a good show. Mostly they were there to have fun, this led to Billy Joe getting the audience to chant back to him a little more than I would have liked, but there was a great…

Reading Festival Highlights 2012 – Friday
Three days of music, good weather (mostly). This is some of what I saw and what I thought. Future of the Left The Future of the Left are a recent discovery for me. I encountered them through Fever Fever who have recently been a support for them. They were better than I expected and a…

Refused Live 12th August 2012
At The Forum Some bands live, die, and leave their legacy behind them. There are bands you wished you could have had the chance to witness, but assume it will never be. Refused have been broken up for near 15 years, and when I heard that they had reformed I had to see them. Their…

Lydia Lunch and The Big Sexy Noise Live 1st July 2012
At the O2 Acadamy Islington Das Flüff Das Flüff are a dark, sexy synth rock act. Fronted by Dawn Lintern with an image like an intense Alison Goldfrapp at a funeral. Seductive as if on a razors edge. The talented guitarist and keyboard player remaining in the background. The limelight focused solely on the voice harbinger…

Hop Farm 2012 Saturday 30th June
I do love music festivals. Especially on a nice summer’s day. Where every hour is Pimms o’clock and the atmosphere is relaxed. Hop Farm is a small indie festival just outside the M25. Going for the weekend would have been nice, but impactical. A day trip, however, seemed too good to pass up on. Patti…

Combichrist Live 28th June 2012
At The Electric Ballroom Combichrist is the brainchild of Norweigan singer and EBM producer Andy LaPlegua. I’ve been a fan since the first hook I heard and after catching them on their last tour was happy to see them again. Joined by a full band their brand of aggressive dance music does not disappoint. Second on the…
