  • Xrayhorse 9 – Buffalo Bones, Wot Gorilla?, Death Rays and Dead Sons

    Buffalo Bones, Wot Gorilla?, Death Rays and Dead Sons @ The Harley Opening duties was by Buffalo Bones, from Leeds. Starting with some mild  blues rock which progressively got more and more interesting (and, yeah, heavier), they went for some grunge stuff. The very tribal ‘Strangest of feelings’ (all about that creepy intro and wicked…

  • Singles – The Smashing Pumpkins, The Violet May, Bromheads, Gaoler’s Daughter, The Cubical

    A veritable all mix this week, as we get an alt-legend strutting their stuff, a raucous band known for their intense live shows, a Liverpudlian gang who probably sleep in a beer freezer, a garage duo with a smashing garage sound and a group dabbling in a suave type of indie.

  • Live Wire – Heebie Jeebies, Bromheads and Hiem

    The night started with the Heebie Jeebies, a trio with a very energetic show. After handing out freen cans (yay!) of Carlsberg (oops!), they went into their set and played to all their skills and tried to get everyone to join in their fun. Del (bass) played and worked over the frets, Thomas worked the…

    Gregory and the Hawk – Leche Listen to Olly Olly Oxen Free while you read this review The day starts and I walk under rainy and grey skies, quite unusual for a city like this (Mexico). As I always do, I carry my earphones and mp3 player to forget the city I’m walking through, so…

  • Interview – The Last Harbour

    Here’s a song for your reading experience… The Last Harbour are a musical collective from all around England, but based in Manchester. Their music veers from the overdramatic (can’t go wrong with that) to that unnamed feeling between sorrow and longing. I’ve been a fan for a while and after being thrown into a train…
