At the beginning of February, I saw Grouplove support Los Campesinos! at Shepherd's Bush Empire and was amazed.

As soon as I got home, I tried to book tickets for their show at Hoxton on the 10th but sadly, tickets were already soldout for that show. Fortunately, there was another show listed at Old Queen's Head, Islington.

Old Queen's Head is a ( Read more... )

At my age, I have yet to spend valentines with anyone special let alone a simple date. Totally appalling but I'm caring less as each year passes by.

A few months back, I totally enjoyed running off for my birthday and flying off to Tenerife. During NYE, I avoided the typical boring parties by going to the Foals New Year's Eve party at The Forum ( Read more... )

When I first heard of Esben and the Witch's Marching Song when I discovered their video for it, I was immediately enthralled, drawn in and mesmerized ( Read more... )

Like most things these days, I can't remember the first time I stumbled across The Go! Team. All I know was that I was immediately hooked with their catchy brand of indie-pop (darn, I'm labeling now) which was very upbeat and cheerful. Also, I discovered them along with a similar sounding band called Architecture In Helsinki, whom I shall be seeing ( Read more... )

Los Campesinos! is one of my most favourite bands of all-time due to a number of things. Their records are simply amazing to listen to. The lyrics are unusually twisted but totally brilliant. Seeing them live is a completely different experience.

I've seen them twice last year, the first at Koko in February and the second at The Garage in July. ( Read more... )

2010 was kicked off by a gig in Wembley Arena headlined by Brand New which GlassJaw and Thrice supported. To say it was epic is an understatement. We are talking about Glassjaw here and of course Brand New whom I didn't love as much I do now but was totally blown away ( Read more... )

2010 was an absolutely mind-blowing year as I went to more gigs in London than ever since moving back in 2007. A switch just flipped and I found myself attending a gig almost every week ( Read more... )

For the longest time, Gareth Campesinos! has been raving about Slow Club on his twitter account. This was way back in June for their show at Koko, Camden.

I finally caved in when I saw tickets for a show at Union Chapel. Purchased a ticket and finally listened to them.

And what I heard was just plain beautiful. If you've never heard of them, you ( Read more... )

Ratatat's music can be classified as a bit odd. It's purely instrumental and is composed of two guys playing guitars, synths, and tom toms. Regardless, their music is quite interesting and pleases the ears. Seventeen Years off their debut album, Ratatat, introduced me to their eclectic music ( Read more... )

The first time I read about Arcade Fire was back in 2004 when Jeph Jacques' of the brilliant web comic Questionable Content mentioned Funeral as one of his favourite albums of the year. From the moment I first played the album in it's entirety, I was hooked and lauded it as the best thing I've ever heard ( Read more... )
