Live Review: Snapped Ankles / Mermaid Chunky – Crookes Social Club, Sheffield 23.10.2021, plus gallery
Words: PeteMo / Pictures: Nick Lowe Hailing from the basement & underground party scene of the east end of London, Snapped Ankles materialised like a strange & mythical apparition in front of an eager and discerning capacity crowd in the steel city, on a dank Saturday night. The venue, a working man’s club, dimly lit and heated to …
Live Review: Nebula Live In The Mojave Desert (stream)
MUSIC is meant, at least performance wise, to be performed in front of an audience. Certainly that’s the case when it comes to live music. As we’ve seen over the course of March 2020 till now, this has been adapted for livestreams, and in the case of three-piece Californian rock outfit Nebula, concert film. Concert …
Live Review Gwenno / Omaloma – Brudenell Social Club, Leeds 10.3.18
It was an altogether strange atmosphere in the bar prior to Gwenno’s appearance in the Community Room of Leeds’ fine Brudenell Social Club. Due, in no small part to the differing clientele. Fans of the Welsh chanteuse (I’m taking the lead here and referring to her as such) fell broadly into the 6Music target crowd …
Live Review: Wand – Brudenell Social Club, 28/1/18
Given the amount of people in Leeds Brudenell last Sunday who enthusiastically raised their hands when frontman Cory Hanson asked who had been at their show the last time they came to Leeds, Wand are not a band to be missed. Certainly after an hour and a half, a packed Brudenell would attest to that, …

Tonight, crowds of psych loyalists have descended on Hebden Bridge for a rather special night of music courtesy of White Rabbit Promotions.

Say Psych: Live, 2016 Liverpool International Festival of Psychedelia
It is doubtful, even in the reified levels of psych music fans, that Keita Ise and Njål Clementsen are two names that easily trip off the tongue. Yet trip is exactly what these two guys sent me on at the latest instalment of the Liverpool International Festival of Psychedelia, now in its fifth year, held …
