Klaxons -
Northumbria
University
(Support: Shy
Child)
-11th
May 2007
 Friday
night and the
north east’s indie
ravesters are
making their way
to Northumbria
University’s
Student Union for
a party with the
Klaxons. Gold lamé
leggings, 80’s
dresses, hoodies,
glo-sticks and
neon face paint
are all par for
the course for
these crazy
kids...

 After
the disappointing
news that dancing
ska wonder kid
Jack Penate has
pulled out of the
show due to
illness, all hopes
are pinned on
South London’s
popular export…

Razorlight,
Metro Radio Arena,
Newcastle Upon
Tyne,
02/04/07
 Just the very
thought of going
to a gig at the
Metro Radio Arena
fills me with
dread. It’s the
kind of vast,
hollow, soulless
venue that many a
great band (and
just as many not
so great) has
tried to conquer
but failed
miserably to
inject some much
needed life into.
Pulp managed it
many moons ago....

@
Liverpool Carling
Academy
26/03/07
Back in October whilst
covering Manchester’s
annual best in new
comers music festival,
In The City, I came
across a Scottish band
playing in the tiny
Night and Day Café going
by the name of
The Dykeenies.

The Horrors,
Rescue Rooms,
Nottingham
29/03/07
From the moment
The Horrors walked
on stage, the
crowd started
buzzing.
Faris Rotter, the
band’s lead
singer, with hair
almost as large as
he is, is an
official
card-carrying
screaming wild man
of rock. The rest
of the band -
Joshua von Grimm
(guitar), Tomethy
Furse (bass),
Coffin Joe
(drums), and
Spider Webb
(organ), seemed
intense and
focused on their
playing

 The
Rapture
@ Leeds
Metropolitan
University
05/03/07
There’s nothing
technically or
rhythmically wrong
with The Rapture,
yet the most
innovative thing
about them is
percussionist/saxophonist/keyboardist
Gabriel Andruzzi
and his box-step
dance moves.

 Arctic
Monkeys
@Carling Academy,
Newcastle Upon
Tyne,
16/04/07
It’s hard to
believe that it’s
only been fifteen
months since
Whatever People
Say I Am, That’s
What I’m Not
propelled
Sheffield’s Arctic
Monkeys into a
world of awards
ceremony non
attendance, Wizard
of Oz outfits and,
in one case, page
three girl
girlfriends.

Open your mind.
Imagine, if you
will, what the
bastard grandchild
of Black Sabbath,
Eighties Matchbox
B-Line Disaster,
The Wildhearts and
Therapy might
sound like? Are
you there yet?
What you have
there, my friend,
is A Ghost in the
Machine..

Varieties

There’s
nothing
quite like
sitting in
a theatre
with
lager-filled
plastic
cups,
entertained
by a
grumpy
Scottish
bloke with
ginger
hair and
capo-clamped
acoustic
guitar.
Middleton’s
satirical
musings
tell the
ironic
story of
an
inherent
solidarity
between
songwriters
who sit
alone in
their
bedrooms
penning
tales of
woe

 The
View
(Live)
Manchester
Academy
3/2/07
The
Automatic
are
headlining
the bill,
in theory,
but
there’s
only one
band that
everyone’s
here for.
As
Dundee’s
finest
strut onto
the stage,
pockets of
fans
around the
front
begin the
trademark
chant,
“The View,
The View,
The View
are on
fire”.
