Another video uploaded… yes, it was a long evening….
Funny how it was known as Canopies and Grapes for a looong time. Whilst looking at this I also noticed that Emmy did a Faye Wong cover! Awesome beans!
Emmy the Great live at Queen Elizabeth Hall, this was a nice end to my lovely week of gigs. Emmy was super friendly (accepting random crowd banter and my ever so slightly lame question about latitude festival) and played a super long set (probably had more time due to other support band not turning up due to an illness). Emmy played a slew of album tracks, a cover of “End of the World” and a fest of oldie tracks including Canopies and Drapes, Edward is Dedward and The Hypnotist’s son (though that’s not THAT old). My favourite was probably First Love and WAHA Baby, though Dylan was toe tappingly ace too.
Was definitely the best emmy gig so far, the addition of backing vocals and piano made the music more full and Emmy wasn’t particularly swamped with shows to play in a row like her UK tour. Check this video of them playing “We almost had a baby”
I’ve got a horde of videos to upload so check check my youtube or vimeo account for more emmy goodness. Emmy releases a new EP with some of her oldie songs so buy them at the lovely guys at rough trade. She managed to play 3 of the 4 songs on the EP (I have two videos of the three 
)
Fanfarlo and Kill it Kit bandstand busking
14 Jun
Not much of a review since they only played 3 songs each, here’s some photos of Fanfarlo and Kill it Kid playing at Northampton Square’s bandstand. So yeah, click for moar!
Oh boy this gig was quite an epic one. It was quite a buzz to not only see the band play, but to actually take photos of them playing. New York rockers Sonic Youth return to play a nice and ickle intimate gig at a venue I love, Scala.
It was the first time I saw 65daysofstatic, and man was it an eventful gig. The music was thumping and the events that occurred made it quite a fun night, including macbook pro failage and the climatic power outage.

After a wave of Ether Festival related gigs came another show that was unforgettable, good old Squarepusher has always been on my list of gigs to see and it was definitely worth being on that list.
“We’ve never heard it” cries the fans to the sold out St Vincent show at Hoxton Bar and Kitchen, it was obvious that most of the folks (well, at the front anyway) has heard Annie’s latest album Actor and love it (based on the cheers to the songs she announces). It was an exciting and playful show down at East Lundun.
PJ Harvey & John Parish at Shepherds Bush Empire
21 Apr
I’ve been quite a fan of PJ Harvey, she has an amazing voice and her songs are beautiful, so here I am standing inside Shepherds Bush Empire watching her showcase her latest album “A Woman a Man walked by”
