Gig Review: MuddiBrooke / Amongst Liars / Hex Poseur – The Hairy Dog, Derby (6th October 2024)

It’s been quite some time since a MuddiBrooke headline show and even longer since they played their hometown of Derby. Since that show last year at The Victoria Inn, they’ve been rather busy playing all sorts of support slots with the likes of The Virginmarys, Black Star Riders, and Wayward Sons as well as a … Continue reading Gig Review: MuddiBrooke / Amongst Liars / Hex Poseur – The Hairy Dog, Derby (6th October 2024)

Gig Review: Starset – Rock City, Nottingham (16th October 2024)

If you were heavy deep into anime in the 2010s, you've probably heard at least one song from this band. Not through searching...but through anime music videos. Specifically the song "My Demons" or "Die for You". Tonight we're seeing Starset on the "immersion" tour. This show was definitely an experience, and what a tale to … Continue reading Gig Review: Starset – Rock City, Nottingham (16th October 2024)

Gig Review: Caravan Palace / Boogie Belgique – O2 Academy, Glasgow (16th October 2024)

As mentioned in a recent post on Facebook, this gig is arguably a little "left of field" for our site, but we're always open to new experiences and there is no reason why we need to limit the music we listen to. We're definitely no gatekeepers! Openers (well, opener) Boogie Belgique played a DJ set, … Continue reading Gig Review: Caravan Palace / Boogie Belgique – O2 Academy, Glasgow (16th October 2024)

Gig Review: Samantha Fish / The Zac Schulze Gang – Queens Hall, Edinburgh (13th October 2024)

I do love a good venue, and the Edinburgh Queen's Hall is one of my favourites. We were here tonight to catch up with that blues fireball, Samantha Fish, on the last date of her Bulletproof UK Tour, but first up were The Zac Schulze Gang. The band, formed in Gillingham, England in 2020, consists … Continue reading Gig Review: Samantha Fish / The Zac Schulze Gang – Queens Hall, Edinburgh (13th October 2024)

Gig Review: Alice Cooper / Primal Scream / The Meffs – Ovo Hydro, Glasgow (14th October 2024)

2 1/2 years since his last visit to Glasgow, the king of shock rock was ferried into town on a chariot of bones (or a big bus, but that's less atmospheric) to entertain a packed Hydro. Like last time the lineup included one bunch of young upstarts and a classic, well-known act. Like last time, … Continue reading Gig Review: Alice Cooper / Primal Scream / The Meffs – Ovo Hydro, Glasgow (14th October 2024)

Gig Review: Duff McKagan / James and the Cold Gun – Academy 2, Manchester (3rd October 2024)

It’s hard to believe Duff McKagan’s third (fourth if you want to split hairs with Beautiful Disease never seeing the light of day), solo album is about to celebrate its first birthday. It feels like only yesterday the full record was available for cramming into earholes. What’s even more surreal is that it’s been five … Continue reading Gig Review: Duff McKagan / James and the Cold Gun – Academy 2, Manchester (3rd October 2024)
