  • Radio Chaneque – 31 songs from Sheffield

    [gigya src=”http://www.mixcloud.com/media/swf/player/mixcloudLoader.swf” flashvars=”feed=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mixcloud.com%2FRadioChaneque%2Fsheffield-treintai%25C3%25BAn%2F&mini&embed_uuid=b2204e73-cbd0-40de-a5c6-a07110f85844&stylecolor=&embed_type=widget_standard” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” wmode=”opaque” allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”480″ height=”480″ ] Well, it’s time to call it a day and get outta Dodgefield (Sheffield!) so here’s a mix of 31 songs that will remind me of the town while I’m out. There’s glaring omissions, there’s demos, there’s no clear genre preference (I think) and there’s a…

  • Radio Chaneque – Bazofia culpable

    Acompáñenos con Claudia (@florenfermiza) hablando de placeres culpables, haters, canciones ya añejas y mucha plática sobre la vida y el precio del thé en China.

  • That Fucking Tank – A document of the last set

    Is there such a thing as a 13/16 (or something) time signature? On ‘Making a meal for Beethoven’, English math-rocking beasts lovely named That Fucking Tank seem confident about it. Ever wondered what would happen if garage rockers actually learnt a few extra chords and interested themselves in distinct riffing, layering, and rhythm? I am…

  • Gig review: Low @ Queens Social Club

    It’s probably an oft said remark that Queens Social Club seems stuck in some sort of time/space anomaly. If you ever walked in by the other door, the one that leads to the place where OAPs are happily surrounded by mustard yellow wallpaper, you’ll feel like in something out of Get Carter (or The Italian…

  • Russian Circles – Memorial

  • The Insomnia Diaries – Low

    A few years ago, I had a bout of insomnia. Although this wasn’t good for my health, it opened the floodgates to many a band, film, book and show that I’ve never got around to until this. This monthly column will mention a few of these discoveries.

  • Preview : Low @ Queens Social Club

    I think it’s not a secret that many in the editorial staff (ok, me) love Low (and Retribution Gospel Choir) so it’s always good news to see the band stop by in Sheffield. They always create this sempiternal bliss with their live shows. Low will be playing on Saturday 16th at Queens Social Club, that…

  • Gig : Wet Nuns (with Flaming Skulls, Royal Blood and Loom)

    This was it. The Cloister Bell rang loudly and it beckoned them all: the hardcore fan, the converted and the odd chancer that wanted to say “I was at their last gig!” Wet Nuns‘ last ever gig, a ceremony that would take place at Queens Social Road. Some people looked the part, others were partaking…

  • Gig Review : Brown Brogues (w/ Rumpus and Bad Grammar)

    For some strange reason, the Bowery has been putting up some great shows as of late. It’s either the coin-op arcade games or the cocktails luring the flies to the proverbial honey, but, yes, the soul-shaped hole that the death of Soyo Live left in us has been slowly filled by The Bowery, Great Gatsby…

  • Their / They’re / There – Analog Weekend EP

      Their / They’re / There are set to release their second EP, Analog Weekend on Monday. The three track EP is full of sound effects, mathy twinkles and reverbs which I’m sure is unsurprising. Thank God they haven’t changed in any dramatic way. Being a Kinsella fan myself, I sometimes wonder, will I ever…
