Erlend, can you see us?
An Ode to Erlend’s Glasses It was through a very fortunate coincidence that I found out The Whitest Boy Alive (TWBA) was doing a couple of shows in March promoting their latest album, Rules (with some love for Dreams, 2006), at a rather unfortunate venue, a very well known (and infamous – Q.) Night Club…

Wake up song for today – 60
A beautiful soul that we should always remember. I’m sure our comic book heroes love him too. From the “Mystery white boy” album.

Ringing ears and broken pedalboards @ Guinness White Tent, Sheffield
Another Friday night in good ol’ rainy Sheffield, another gig that makes my tinnitus a permanent condition (wonder if I can claim benefits over that?) As part of St. Patrick’s celebration, those peddlers of the magic black potion (no, not Bovril) set up their (in)famous white tenth (right in front of City Hall). Between the…

Welcome to another week of Sloucher-ness! Here’s another song from my new favourite all-girl band, Ortolan. They are bludy foocking amazing and you need to give yourself the time to listen to them. Why don’t you become a fan of them on Facebook? Also, check their website. Lastly, here’s the song! And hey, here’s the…

Because 12 issues IS something to celebrate – Congrats, Article

Wake up song for today – 58
So, this week we’ve been pimping Red House Painters, Retribution Gospel Choir, Reverend Horton Heat, The Jam and Low. How about ANOTHER band that is massively talented and criminally overlooked? Open your ears and hug somebody to Ida. Dream of autumn’s stark, brown landscape and rejoice that spring is near. Also, let Elizabeth Mitchell’s voice…

An introspective moment at the O2 Academy…
I love walking into gig venues. I love the smell of beer mixed in with all the sweat from the nerves, excitement and of course a busy, hectic lifestyle. It embodies so much of what live music is about. The familiar aroma greeted me on entering the 02 Academy this afternoon, reminding me of why…

Bat For Lashes in Mexico – A true tale…
One of the bands I ever wanted to listen to live was Bat for Lashes. Unfortunately and due to a distance greater than 7,000 miles, an ocean in the middle, and poor media support to our dearest Natasha Khan in Mexico that chance seemed unlikely until, thank heavens!, the band came as an opening show.…
