The Little Kicks

Glasgow Barfly

Friday August 15th

In the beginning The Little Kicks’ gig at Barfly looks like it could go horribly wrong. more… “The Little Kicks”

Believe the hype. During Santogold’s performance of ‘Creator’ at tonight’s Edinburgh gig, she proves that those screeching cat calls are humanly possible. And that’s just the tip of Santi White’s 24-carat ice-berg. With little predictability, this magnetic self-proclaimed lady draws us in. From new wave and electro to dub and bhangra, her beats are global- reaching all of us one blinging spoonful at a time. more… “Santogold”

Sergeant

The Edge Festival @ Liquid Rooms, Edinburgh

12 August 2008

Imagine if The Smiths were a happy bunch. Impossible, you say? If your eyes and mouths were as wide open as Sergeant’s last night, you would have sampled what it might have looked like. more… “Sergeant”

Plastic Heroes

Escape The Lower End

Bongo Beat

Remember ‘90s Britpop when playboy rock stars had mop hair-dos, bug-eyed sunglasses, swaggers in their step and an allegiance to gin and tonic? Excess was Brit cool. more… “Plastic Heroes”

Aderbat

Man Overboard (EP)

Mountebank

As Aderbat’s cohesive EP draws to a close my relaxed limbs fall victim to a heavenly music-induced coma, if possible. more… “Aderbat”

Moby

I Love To Move In Here

Mute

Moby’s feeling nostalgic with new concept album ‘Last Night’ and this second single is undoubtedly designed to evoke the main event of his typical night out in New York City back in the day. more… “Moby”

The Pigeon Detectives

This is An Emergency

Dance to the Radio

Stop press! There are too many festivals to choose from, too many bands to keep up with, and the rain’s just ruined my coiffed hair-do. This is an emergency. more… “The Pigeon Detectives”

We The Faceless

We The Faceless EP

White

Noisy London trio, We The Faceless, fancy themselves as ‘the new grunge’. But don’t clear out the contents of your bathroom cabinet, dig out your old Nirvana t-shirts, and pay for a Kerrang subscription just yet. more… “We The Faceless”

The Sea Kings

Glasgow King Tut's

17th May 2008

Standing watching the Sea Kings’ Glasgow gig at the King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut on Saturday 17th May 2008, I remembered that music would not save the world, particularly not from climate change. I felt cheated, not by Live Earth or Bob Geldof, but by music. more… “The Sea Kings”
