Dirty Projectors live at Barbican

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

Dirty Projectors live at Barbican, good times! Finally able to see them play live and I was amazed, the first half was with Alarms will Sound playing The Getty Address in it’s entirety. The second half of the show was where it’s at, totally grooving out to songs from Bitte Orca. Good times

Wildbirds & Peacedrums at Bishopsgate Institute

Sunday, May 16th, 2010

Ah Bishopsgate Institute, kinda reminded me of going to a prom (not that I went to one). The floor was slippery enough to slide around the place (and mess up your jeans). Anyway, strange venue for a Wildbirds & Peacedrums gig but throw in a choir and you’ve got yourself a stew going on!

These guys are constantly experimenting ways of making their shows special and this one is no exception. The choir worked well for their newest material but at the same time showed a new dimension to their old stuff. Check out more photos and videos of them in action.

Florence & the Machine live at Hammersmith Apollo

Saturday, May 15th, 2010

Florence & The Machine live at Hammersmith Apollo. Quite enjoyed the gig, hammersmith apollo is fun for allowing everyone to view the gig with it’s rack slanted floor type floor thing. Florence Welch(ums) is uuber photogenic and has a lovely voice, though sometimes I feel like she should focus on singing at times rather than relaying it to the audience. She does get shouty at some points too which bums me out.

The Sounds at Electric Ballroom

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

The Sounds live at Electric Ballroom, lead singer Maja really knows how to get a crowd going. This was a pretty ace show with Matt and Kim supporting and the fact that photographers got to stay in the photopit to enjoy the show ^_^ This show was nice and pumped, was nicer hearing the set after their latest sophomore album, Crossing The Rubicon was out. The highlight was most likely when they brought up a dude on stage to play the cowbell but he was all kinds of horrific in terms of whacking the cowbell in beat, I think he was a bit too excited.  Lots of posing, jumping and dancing on stage (lame review i know! but hey, i hate writing with so little time available)

Andrew Bird at Shepherds Bush Empire

Sunday, August 9th, 2009

The entire morning before the show I was whistling to tunes from Noble Beast, Andrew Bird can produce some contagious whistling melodies that you can’t stop replicating. I won tickets to see Andrew Bird since the tickets were quite pricey (got to love free tickets). The show was quite remarkable mainly because he came fully equipped with the full band

Bishop Allen playing a nice cosy gig at Bardens Boudoir, the stage was nice and low and the band were in a grabable distance (not that you would mind).

Au Revoir Simone at Bush Hall

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

Keyboard smashing, disco making Au Revoir Simone played an awesome sold out show at the Bush Hall. Quite a tantalising set from the 3 beautiful and friendly ladies who just got back from touring Sweden.
