17/12 at the fighting cocks (kingston)

Live/Album Review: The Lemonheads
13/12 at the concorde ii (brighton)
Nineties Nostalgia ... For people of a certain age it can be a truly wonderful thing, revisiting songs branded upon the psyche during more formative and less cynical years.

Two Track Tuesday
Quickly becoming a regular feature here at Gigseen, today we've got not one, but two tracks for you to enjoy on this tiresome Tuesday. The following tracks are songs that we've got on repeat in the office. Humming along without a care in the world.

Live Review: Ellwood, Electric River, My Third Leg
08/12 at the O2 islington academy 2
Once getting past the confusion of being told by the doorman that Electric Six were in fact playing on Thursday night, not Ellwood, then being directed instead after a heart-stopping moment up to the first floor O2 Islington Academy 2 venue, it was extremely easy to enjoy a night of ska-infused music.

It's happened again ... Once more I start out intending to write a simple album review and with a little back-catalogue research find myself putting together a full band profile instead ... In this case Ireland's The Holy Roman Army.

Profile: Charles Bradley
The phrase, 'had a hard life', probably doesn't mean too much to most people. Soul and RnB singer, Charles Bradley, certainly knows what it means to have a hard life; spending the majority of his early life on the streets, he's not your average recording artist.

Profile: Penguin Prison
The title, 'New Band Showcase', may not be entirely true this week, but what the hell, I'm going to bend the rules a bit! Anyway, I'm going on the basis that for a lot of you, Penguin Prison is merely a glimmering, undiscovered jewel that lies in the murky depths of the stagnant waters that is the internet music-sphere.
