Bob Dylan at Wembley Arena (17 April 2007)

Wembley Arena, Saturday 15th April 2007 By Katie Spain I'd been looking forward to Bob Dylan for months - he's one of those artists you just have to see. No excuses, no "I can't afford it" rubbish. You owe it...

GIG REVIEW: NME Awards Tour - Kasabian, The Enemy & The Hours (15 February 2007)

In the words of Tom Meighan 'Truly Monumental!' The Kasabian front man well and truly hit the nail on the head when he summed up their incredible NME Tour show at Hammersmith Palais. As the clock ticks down to the...

Arcade Fire - St John's - London 31/01/07 (12 February 2007)

ALBUM REVIEW: The Klaxons - Myths Of The Near Future ( 7 February 2007)

Arcade Fire - a gift for the fans ( 2 February 2007)

For those of you who weren't at the Arcade Fire gig at St John's Church, you may have missed out on the nifty erm... 'flyer' that was distributed to the crowd. What is it? What does it mean? Your guess...

GIG REVIEW: Just Jack @ Islington Academy 24.01.07 ( 2 February 2007)

Kylie New Year's Eve ( 3 January 2007)

George Michael - Earl's Court (28 November 2006)

"It's not an easy time to be a George Michael" fan so said the hirsute one himself. Au contraire said the fans packed into the Earls Court arena for a very grown up pop concert. Performing in front of a...

Spargo - The Troubadour (14 November 2006)

Okay, so I'm biased when it comes to all things 'Down Under'.... Aussie wine tastes better, Aussie beaches are unbeatable and Aussie men... well, okay so maybe not EVERYTHING about my homeland is superior. One thing I'm not about to...

Seu Jorge - The Roundhouse (14 November 2006)

I bought tickets for this show several months ago based on Giles Petersn's "Back in Brazil" which included Jorge's "Eu Sou Favela." After I listened to some of Jorge's other works and James reminded me he did the Bowie covers...

Two very different gigs in 3 days (13 November 2006)

Mono @ Underworld - 09 Nov 2006 ( 9 November 2006)

Mono are a guitar laden instrumental rock band from Japan. They are pretty good at what they do, that is semi-long to quite long quiet/loud/quiet songs. It's now the second time I've see them live, and I was not particularly...

The Raconteurs - Brixton Academy (19 October 2006)

Madlib and Stones Throw Records @ KOKO, Camden (11 October 2006)

Camille @ Shepherd's Bush Empire ( 6 October 2006)

Depeche Mode - Wireless Festival (10 June 2006)
