Live Review: Metronomy At The Royal Albert Hall - 3rd October 2011

After falling short to PJ Harvey in the run for the Mercury Music Prize, electro-pop indie group, Metronomy, didn't fail to bring the crowds to their debut at London's Royal Albert Hall, as one of the venue's Albert Sessions.

Profile: Vent 414 - Indie's 1st 'Supergroup' ?

Of recent weeks in my frequent trawling around the dusty corners of the Internet looking for music both new and old, there's been a few instances where something I remember from years back simply cannot be found for neither love nor money to buy and download in digital format.

Michael Jackson and the Inner Junkie

What we are seeing right now is a failing of the US legal system. Nobody and I genuinely believe nobody should ever have their trial played out as publicly as what we are seeing right now.

Before people make assumptions. I loved Michael Jackson's music. I have most of his albums (let's be honest, the latter were utter rubbish), a few DVD's, his video collections (let's be honest, nobody did it better) and THIS IS IT which was a great and fitting tribute to a musical professional.

Conrad Murray and the Trial by Media Pt.1

Be it twitter, facebook and even on the now in pubs and clubs across the UK, there is a growing belief that Conrad Murray isn't totally responsible for the death of Michael Joseph Jackson.

Firstly, I think beyond a shadow of a doubt that he should share in some of the blame of the demise of the self proclaimed King of Pop.....

Thursday Night is Dirty Girl Night

You might wonder what the heck we're doing blogging about a film on Gigseen, but bear with me here.

Firstly it's day two of the 'Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival' in the beautiful Golden Gate Park in San Fransisco. Friday saw Robert Plant and the Band of Joy headlining down in Speedway Meadow.

Live Review: A Farewell to The Bluetones

Tuesday night at the Shepherd's Bush Empire saw what was billed as The Bluetones' final ever performance. I thought at first that I had missed my opportunity to see the band but luckily a new final date had been added for the 27th to top the tour.
