Documenting the madness

I'll never be able to sit down and think as I used to after what can only be described as the most magically serendipitous weekend in Mexico City for the Corona Capital festival. I'd say I don't usually describe my life as a ferocious whirlwind, but I do. However, it's often in r

There’s a funny thing about indie gigs. All day you’ll be telling your friends about this cool new band you’re seeing in a nice intimate venue and they’ll ask who it is. “ Lime Garden ” you reply to be received with a blank-faced “ah, cool”. But once you’ve battled the punching w

Like a seven-year-old grasping desperately onto Christmas, Sorry have extended spooky season with their headline show at Electric Brixton. For the conclusion of their UK headline tour, crowds of misfits in their fingerless gloves, berets and mullets joined forces for one final (m

It was one of those nights. The venue seemed full already, yet groups of people still filtered into the crowd like water into sand. As such, I was forced to pitch up by the back bar (definitely forced, promise) which, to be fair, allowed me to overhear everyone eagerly guessing w

There’s an energy in the air tonight. Y’know, that buzz that comes around when a collective of indie kids discover a DIY indie band from the states and want it to be their secret. But it’s no secret when hundreds of them pack into the Omeara and the body heat has you questioning

It’s Christmas Day. You’ve woken up at 12 pm to a flashback reel of being obliterated and stealing baubles from the tree at your hometown pub, much to the disgust of your old school friends you’ve not seen since the same time last year sat quietly in the corner likely discussing

When the video intro to Tame Impala melts into a chaotic, perpetually reverberating feedback and you question if it’s your brain- you know you’ve pushed it too far. Our second day at All Points East was another success. I’ve said it already and I’ll say it again, this year’s over

*Time freezes* It’s been a while since I’ve been drenched in beer. Some might say too long, most will say it should have never happened again, but here I am in the middle of a raging mosh pit about to shove an innocent lad over. *Time resumes rapidly* A lot has happened in lif

It’s been a while since I’ve been to a sell-out show and really felt it. KOKO became a beehive last night as stragglers at the back were desperately trying to find any viewing point from the packed out venue. Yet, despite it being chock-a-block, it was a serenade of beautiful ind

“Give it up for the future” yells Miles Kane speaking of Brooke Combe following their rendition of Tina Turner's Nutbush City Limits after she opened his show in Roundhouse Camden - and he’s not wrong. Combe packed a wrecking-ball-dropped-from-the-top-of-the-Shard energy from the

I’ve had a strange dislike for Miles Kane for no real reason at all. An old quote of his from 2016 or something, “I really wanted to be a frontman at that time. I hadn't been a frontman. I had a hard-on for that” stuck with me and I dismissed him as self-centered. After last nigh

Well… hah. It was a sure sign that we were in for a treat at Spacey Jane last night when some of the adoring fans had to persuade the bouncers that they were sober enough to be allowed in. After being punched in the face by the wall of humid body heat, we squeezed ourselves in at
