London club nights are 10 a penny and I feel like I’ve seen 9. Shake, Rattle and Bowl however is a club with a difference. My newly crowned ” Favourite Club Night in London ” Shake, Rattle and Bowl provides it’s quiff sporting attendees with table football, karaoke and 13 bowling lanes not to mention 2 [...]
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 [...]
Don’t be fooled by the ampersand. Dimbleby & Capper are just one. The 22 year old Laura Bettinson who miraculously remains unsigned produces witty, refreshing and sultry dark electronic pop. Dimbleby & Capper certainly has a lot in common with artists like Goldfrapp and The Knife but adds a more playful reality to the electro-pop [...]
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 [...]
Tonight Max Richter is playing at London’s Union Chapel as part of the Marginalised festival. The festival has been lucky enough to have such artists as Gavin Bryars and Michael Nyman. The Marginalised festival is in its second year supporting the charity Margins, a charity based right here in the Union Chapel. Margins helps the [...]
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 [...]
What keeps me going to watch and photograph HEALTH is pretty much the same as makes people peer through their fingers when watching horror movies. HEALTH are so loud they make you feel like your ears are bleeding. Their unique blend of noise, dance and airy psychedelic vocals has every hipster in town out for [...]
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 [...]
