It’s always a sign of a kind of maturity when a band like Mogwai get to have their own brand of beer. Like a performance from the band themselves, the drink is understated. Like one of their tunes it’s interesting, full of flavour and has quite a bite. Even the name, Mogwai Beer Satan, […]

The Twilight Sad + Man Of Moon @ o2 Academy 3, 9th December 2015
Over the years I have seen a distinct pattern forming concerning the bands that I like and the gigs that I really enjoy. Give me a room with a couple of hundred people and the ability to see the whites of the singer’s eyes up close, over your stadium extravaganzas any day. But as with Dutch […]
Photo feature – Editors @ O2 Academy, 16th October 2015
Editors are back. Our Ian Dunn captured their recent gig at the o2 Academy for Birmingham Live. When a fan discovered a new track ‘No Harm’ hidden on the current Play It Again Sam compilation and shared it with the world, the first fruit of the band’s recording sessions in the remote Western highlands of […]
Album Review – The Twilight Sad – Nobody Wants To Be Here and Nobody Wants To Leave
Similar, but definitely not the same. That phrase can be applied to every performance by The Twilight Sad that I have had the pleasure to experience and on hearing this, their fourth album; I can confirm that it continues to apply to their recorded output as well.

Summer Sundae @ DeMontfort Hall and Gardens Leicester, 17th – 19th August 2012
A Safari in Leicester? – not quite; but as usual for Summer Sundae all human life was on display on the opening day of what Steve Lemacq called “The Grandson Of Glastonbury”. The Safari theme was muted, apart from a few lion statues and the appropriate naming of the main venues, but that was to […]

The Twilight Sad + Let’s Wrestle + Decades @ Birmingham Hare & Hounds, 12th February 2012
The good news is that James Graham remains an intense man. Rumours of the death of the sound and fury that put The Twilight Sad on the map over the last few years were proved to be wildly exaggerated tonight. The Front-man embodied all of that in a display of sheer raw emotion that threatened […]
The Twilight Sad + Mutineers + Goodnight Lenin @ The Hare & Hounds, Birmingham – 26th October 09
Are you sitting comfortably? Right, then I’ll begin… Once upon a time in a magical kingdom far, far away (oh alright then, it was Birmingham) there was a rather fine band called The Allies. They had more than a touch of the Arctic Monkey’s about them (no bad thing), but one or two tracks hinted […]
