Live Review: Billy Idol – Kings Theatre, Brooklyn, NY 12.09.2023
The resurgence of all things Gen X reached a high point last year with “Running Up That Hill” becoming ubiquitous 37 years after its release. It also served as a reminder that the MTV generation wasn’t entirely one-hit, fluorescent wonders and there is a lot of music worth revisiting. This was also a golden age …

Live Review: The Alarm “The Gathering USA” – Gramercy Theater, New York, NY 24.06.2023
Even as an avid concert goer, this was the first time I had attended a musical event quite like this. The Alarm coming to NYC this past weekend was not just a sold-out concert, it was a four-day event with fans coming together from multiple countries in celebration of Mike Peters & The Alarm. To …
Live Review: Aimee Mann/Jonathan Coulton – Tarrytown Music Hall, Tarrytown, NY 21.06.2023

Then, the numerous Christmas shows with …

Live Review + Photo Gallery: Dark Mofo Festival – Sleaford Mods, The Odeon, 09.06.2023
As part of the esteemed, annual Dark Mofo Festival here in Hobart, I came to this gig not really knowing what to expect of a live performance from these champions of the UK working class, and how that may translate to a non-UK audience. Given that they are hard to pigeon-hole due to their genre-defying …
Live Review: Slam Dunk Festival North – 28/05/23 – plus Gallery
Known as the unofficial start to festival season, Slam Dunk returned bigger and better in 2023! Back to two locations rather than the popular three, we visited Temple Newsam on Sunday to catch some bands in the sun! The festival this year is sold out and it’s obvious that people are hungry for the diverse …
Live Review: Psychedelic Porn Crumpets – o2 Academy, Leicester
Up first were local band ‘Leave Your Body Behind’ these guys seemed more than comfortable opening for the Crumpets, with lots of interaction with the crowd. Its always good to see a local band supporting more established artists, and I don’t think it’ll be too long before these guys are supporting more acts on their …
