The Feeling are back after a 5 year break and they’re starting their nights with a little bit of Canadian pop-rock courtesy of Altameda.

Live Review: Wolfmother, Dee Why RSL, 29.10.2022
Friday night saw hard rockers Wolfmother turn Dee Why RSL into one huge moshpit. Complete with crowd surfers, stage invaders and stage divers, including one brazen audience member telling security to ‘hang on’ before they ejected him so he could get some crowd footage on his phone. Local boys, Tchitaki opened the night and played …

Live Review: Kurt Vile & The Violators/Julia Shapiro – Phantom Power, Millersville, PA 14.10.2022
It was worth the journey from New York to Pennsylvania to catch Kurt Vile on close-to-home turf at a club known as Phantom Power. This unassuming venue with a small beer garden and microbrewery, sits off the main road in the rural college town of Millersville. A rare opportunity to experience a casual, intimate Friday …
Live Review: Fontaines D.C – o2 Academy, Birmingham 22.11.2022 Plus Gallery
It’s a rainy Monday night and yet another sold out show at the o2 Academy in Birmingham for 2022.

Arriving …

It’s 10 to 8 on a cold Sunday night in November and there’s still a massive queue for the main room of the o2 Academy. First act of the night is Tommy LeFroy, a female duo with a hippy pop sound that make for a great start to the evening. After a less than impressive …
