The Soft Pack are certainly not something normally I’d rave about. Coming from a teenage Doom metal head’s point of view they are positively pure filth. I’m not longer that teenager though, I must admit this. I like garage punk and I love The Soft Pack. These guys were cheated tonight by a crowd of [...]
Wandering the dark backstreets of Camden is not something I’d normally recommend to anyone but it is the only way you’ll find tonight’s venue. The Black Heart has proved itself to be a hidden gem of Camden Town by simply walking around the corner to find a giant black heart swinging from the wall. It’s the black cherry on the cake that stripped down ranchy blues rock duo She Keeps Bees are joining us tonight courtesy of The Allotment.
Friday night and I’m looking forward to a evening of brap and ‘money grabbing’ . I’m standing waiting for Hip Hop legends Dead Prez to come on stage. To my very pleasant surpise our own ‘ackney wide boy and one of my favourite UK MC’s Klashnekoff is providing us with some very quick little uk [...]
Been waiting a long time to see the groove laiden kings of blues rock Clutch. Bad luck has prevented me getting around to see them live for nye on 6 years. So tonight I’m excited to be shooting them at my second home KOKO. I’m not just treated to Clutch tonight though oh no. Kylesa, [...]
I’m at Club NME’s very own Halloween event at the KOKO tonight. I’m still in my civies and I’m clearly not out to party, I’ve got a face like slapped arse. I missed the first 3 songs of Invasion after being accosted by women who “worked for Saatchi and Saatchi” who needed money for a cab home/crack. I [...]
It’s the morning after and I’m still in shock. Gore metal Legend’s put on a show which can only be described as biblical last night. With mosh pits like paintings depicting hell and the relentless brutality of Cannibal Corpse’s riffage, I feel aurally destroyed . The Photo pit was like the plunge pool at the end [...]
There is something to be said about being stone cold sober on a Friday night in Camden Town. I’ll be honest it’s not something that happens to me very often so walking in the club was like a warm clammy slap around the face. It’s been quite a evening for me already by the time [...]
I had a tough time trying to get a photo pass for this gig. lucky for me, the new residencey at KOKO came just in time for me to get in front of the blundgingly heavy atmospheric post hardcore giants ISIS.
