It’s been a while since my last post and this is a rather lazy effort just to say I have been beavering away at a bunch of reviews.
Revolutionary Road (Winslet & DiCaprio play house)
Rachel Getting Married (not a bit like Bride Wars, phew)
The Armstrong and Miller Show (like, those chav pilots and shit)
J.Tillman – Vacilando Territory Blues (Fleet Fox [...]

So this is the new year and I don’t feel any different (to quote Death Cab). Still, there’s plenty to look forward to, here are some of the things I’m excited about…
1. Slow Club
Slow Club are finally releasing their debut album on Moshi Moshi Records some time in the spring. They’ve been stalwarts of the Sheffield music [...]

On December 2nd, Iain Hodgson, who presents BBC Radio Sheffield’s Raw Talent show, presented a showcase of local unsigned bands at Carling Academy. The bands were Rosie Electro, Skullbone, True Gentlemen (fronted by Paddy Orange of Orange 38), Playground Mafia, Dead World Leaders and Skeletons.
The line-up certainly made for an eclectic evening. I enjoyed the [...]

Last night Jarvis kicked off the Looking Rough at 30 tour in Sheffield (where else?) to celebrate 30 years of Rough Trade Records. He came on stage looking like a Geography teacher, complete with tweed suit, beard and a cane for pointing at his carefully prepared powerpoint. Songs were interspersed with mini lectures about Rough Trade, [...]

The band provided their own support act by showing a selection of short films and playing a live improvised score to each one. They referred to it as a “little experiment”, which [...]

A few months ago I was walking through the city centre, near Hallam Uni, dipping my hand in the water feature opposite the Globe, when two extremely energetic young men came bounding over. They asked if I would like to hear some of their music, “Sure” I replied, and they handed me a CD, then bounded [...]

Last night I reviewed Seth Lakeman at the Leadmill. I’ve always found him a bit too earnest and wasn’t expecting to get into the gig. But I did, he was quite astounding. His older, more traditional folk material was stomping and gutsy. The new stuff is more folk-rock, bordering on bland at times, but it has brought [...]

I’ve had a flurry of activity on the music reviews front of late. Firstly there was One Night Only’s gig at the Student’s Union. They churned out plenty of energetic daft indie pop and I had to take my cynical hat off in the end. It was full of giddy teenage girls and a few giddy teenage [...]
